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..
Read MoreAbstract 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..
Read MoreAbstract 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..
Read MoreAbstract 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...
Read MoreAbstract 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..
Read MoreAbstract 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..
Read MoreAbstract 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)..
Read MoreAbstract 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...
Read MoreAbstract 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..
Read MoreAbstract 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..
Read MoreAbstract 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...
Read MoreAbstract Objective:This study aimed to evaluate the rate of transfusion for cardiovascular surgeries between 2010 and 2019 in Republic of Korea and the association between blood transfusion and postoperative mortality...
Read MoreAbstract Traumatic injury is associated with several pulmonary complications, including pulmonary contusion, transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI), and the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). There is a lack..
Read MoreAbstract 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...
Read MoreAbstract This article explores the major challenges and specialized strategies involved in managing cardiovascular surgery patients who are Jehovah’s Witnesses and refuse blood transfusions due to their religious beliefs. It..
Read MoreFinger photopletysmography detects early acute blood loss in compensated blood donors: a pilot study
Abstract Objective. Diagnosis of incipient acute hypovolemia is challenging as vital signs are typically normal and patients remain asymptomatic at early stages. The early identification of this entity would affect..
Read MoreAbstract Reports on cases of factor Ⅴ (FⅤ) deficiency complicated by platelet function disorders in patients undergoing cardiac surgery are rare, and the utilization of thromboelastography in such cases is..
Read MoreAbstract Objective To explore the clinical effect of predeposit, salvage, and hemodilution autotransfusion on patients with femoral shaft fracture (FSF) surgery. Methods Selected patients with FSF were randomly divided into..
Read MoreAbstract Autologous blood transfusion can be achieved through different techniques, including by the patient donating blood before surgery (pre-deposit), collecting blood from the patient immediately before the operation and replacing..
Read MoreAbstract Background Acute microcirculatory perfusion disturbances and organ edema are important factors leading to organ dysfunction during cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Priming of the CPB system with crystalloid..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose: There is currently no consensus on the most appropriate blood transfusion strategy for older adults undergoing cardiovascular surgery. We aimed to investigate the potential benefits of the patient blood..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction We aimed to compare the inflammatory cytokines levels of the miniaturized and conventional extracorporeal circuit system. The miniaturized extracorporeal circuit system may be fewer possible inflammation-induced or blood..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose of review The worldwide leading cause of maternal death is severe maternal hemorrhage. Maternal hemorrhage can be profound leading to an entire loss of blood volume. In the..
Read MoreAbstract In rural settings worldwide, many people live in effective blood deserts without access to any blood transfusion. The traditional system of blood banking is logistically complex and expensive for..
Read MoreAbstract BACKGROUND: Platelet transfusion is common in cardiac surgery, but some studies have suggested an association with harm. Accordingly, we investigated the association of perioperative platelet transfusion with morbidity and..
Read MoreAbstract Objective To demonstrate the value of a viscoelastic-based intraoperative transfusion algorithm to reduce non-RBC product administration in adult cardiac surgical patients. Design A prospective observational study. Setting At a..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a cardiac or pulmonary function support system that is used in cases of refractory organ failure in addition to conventional treatment. Currently, Level I..
Read MoreAbstract Objective Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with hypofibrinogenemia and severe bleeding requiring transfusion. Guidelines recommend cryoprecipitate or fibrinogen concentrate (FC) for the treatment of acquired hypofibrinogenemia...
Read MoreAbstract Background Intraoperative packed red blood cell (PRBC) transfusion during cardiac surgery is associated with increased postoperative morbidity and mortality; however, data on the association between PRBC transfusion and postoperative..
Read MoreAbstract Objective Compared with fresh frozen plasma (FFP), Omniplasma has been attributed to an increased coagulation potential and an increased fibrinolytic potential. This study aimed to compare Omniplasma and FFP..
