Abstract Introduction For Jehovah’s Witness (JW) patients requiring cardiac surgery, various strategies such as preoperative use of erythropoietin stimulating agents (ESAs), intravenous iron (IVI), and non-pharmacologic interventions have emerged to..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives To estimate whether the association of transfusion and acute kidney injury (AKI) has a threshold of oxygen delivery below which transfusion is beneficial but above which it is..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Red blood cell (RBC) transfusions are frequent in patients after cardiac surgery. This study assessed whether a bundle of care including pre-operative and post-operative administration of  (EPO) with intravenous..

Abstract Background Platelets stored at 1–6 °C are hypothesized to be more hemostatically active than standard room temperature platelets (RTP) stored at 20–24 °C. Recent studies suggest converting RTP to cold-stored platelets..

Abstract Background:   Antithrombin (AT) replacement is occasionally utilized in the setting of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)-associated heparin resistance. Although past studies emphasized the high costs and limited clinical benefit..

Abstract Cardiac aortic surgery is an extremely complicated procedure that often requires large volume blood transfusions during the operation. Currently, it is not possible to accurately estimate the intraoperative blood..

Abstract Objectives To compare the outcomes of factor eight inhibitor bypassing activity (FEIBA) versus fresh frozen plasma (FFP) as the primary treatment for postoperative coagulopathy in patients undergoing cardiac surgery...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES (JW) refuse allogeneic blood transfusions because of their religious beliefs, a situation that poses significant challenges in the context of cardiac surgery, given that bleeding-related complications may..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Minimizing the use of blood component can reduce known and unknown  risks, preserve blood bank resources, and decrease healthcare costs. Red Blood Cell (RBC) transfusion is common after cardiac..

Abstract Introduction The trial hypothesized that minimally invasive extra-corporeal circulation (MiECC) reduces the risk of serious adverse events (SAEs) after cardiac surgery operations requiring extra-corporeal circulation without circulatory arrest. Methods..

Abstract Background and Aims:  The practice of intraoperative blood salvage and autotransfusion (IBSA) during deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) can potentially reduce the need for allogeneic..

Abstract Objectives The FUWAI-SAVE system is a modified low-priming cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) system. The study aimed to explore whether the FUWAI-SAVE system can reduce the perioperative blood transfusion and its..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives Minimally invasive cardiac surgery techniques are increasingly used but have longer cardiopulmonary bypass time, which may increase inflammatory response and negatively affect coagulation. Our aim was to compare..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Thrombotic complications during and after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are commonly observed clinically. The incidences of cannula-associated deep vein thrombosis (CaDVT) post-ECMO support have predominantly focused on Caucasian demographics...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract OBJECTIVES Activated clotting time (ACT) is commonly used to monitor anticoagulation during cardiac surgeries. Final ACT values may be essential to predict postoperative bleeding and transfusions, although ideal values..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract OBJECTIVES The multifactorial dynamic perfusion index was recently introduced as a predictor of cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury. The multifactorial dynamic perfusion index was developed based on retrospective data..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The threshold for packed red blood cell (pRBC) transfusion has been an important focus in the management of critically ill patients since the publication of randomized control trials (RCTs)..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Our goal was to create a simple risk‐prediction model for renal function decline after cardiac surgery to help focus renal follow‐up efforts on patients most likely to benefit...

Abstract Background This study characterized the association of preoperative anemia and intraoperative red blood cell (RBC) transfusion on outcomes of elective coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods Data from 53,856..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Alternatives to allogeneic blood transfusions are sought for resource management reasons and it is necessary to investigate the efficiency and efficacy on Cell Salvage use. The objective of..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Postpartum anemia is a significant contributor to peripartum morbidity. The utilization of cell salvage in low risk cases and its impact on postpartum anemia has not been investigated...

Abstract Background Most cardiac surgery clinical prediction models (CPMs) are developed using pre-operative variables to predict post-operative outcomes. Some CPMs are developed with intra-operative variables, but none are widely used...
