Abstract Background Bleeding after cardiac surgery is common and continues to require 10–20% of the national blood supply. Transfusion of allogeneic blood is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Excessive..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background The decision regarding intraoperative transfusion has traditionally been based on hemodynamic instability and estimated blood loss. We performed a systematic review to determine the validity of the oximetry..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Pediatric patients requesting bloodless care represent a challenging clinical situation, as parents cannot legally refuse lifesaving or optimal interventions for their children. Here, we report clinical outcomes for..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery is a common complication that can lead to death. We previously reported that the creatinine reduction ratio (CRR) serves as a useful..

Abstract Background In on-pump cardiac surgery, the albumin priming strategy could maintain colloid osmotic pressure better than crystalloid solutions and reduce excessive perioperative fluid balance. However, a high-quality meta-analysis is..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background The risks and benefits of preoperative aspirin continuation in patients undergoing isolated heart valve replacement surgery are unclear. We investigated the effect of aspirin continuation on the risk..

Abstract Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and serious complication after the repair of Type A acute aortic dissection (TA-AAD). However, previous models have failed to account for the..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective The hemoglobin threshold for a decision to transfuse red blood cells in univentricular patients with parallel circulation is unclear. A  expertise initiative put forth a “weak recommendation” for avoiding..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract OBJECTIVE Excess blood loss from obstetrical hemorrhage requires transfusion of donor blood, a finite resource. Intraoperative cell salvage collects a patient's own blood that has been lost during cesarean..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Type A aortic dissection (TAAD) is a life-threatening disease with high mortality and poor prognosis, usually treated by surgery. There are many complications in its perioperative period, one of..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction The point-of-care test (POCT) is useful for blood coagulation management during cardiovascular surgery. Although thromboelastography (TEG6s) has been reported to have targeted benefits for blood transfusion in cardiac..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives To compare the incidences of postoperative thrombotic complications, transfusion of blood products, and chest tube output in congenital cardiac surgical patients who received either recombinant activated factor VII..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Platelets (PLTS) and fresh frozen plasma (FFP) are often transfused in cardiac surgery patients for perioperative bleeding. Their relative effectiveness is unknown. Methods We conducted an entropy-weighted retrospective..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Data collection, analysis, and reporting are fundamental for a successful hospital-based patient blood management program; however, very little has been published on the topic. Our aim was to synthesize..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction Fresh frozen plasma (FFP) transfusion in the intensive care unit (ICU) is commonly used to treat coagulopathy and bleeding in cardiac surgery, despite suggestion that it may increase..

Abstract Purpose: This study aimed to assess the necessity of routine intraoperative cell salvage in liver transplantations. Methods: A total of 327 liver transplants performed between 2014 and 2016 was..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Blood donors and voluntary blood donations are essential for ensuring the blood supply that can be maintained by good patient blood management (PBM) practices. This review article explores the..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Study objective  (AT) activity is reduced during  (CPB) surgery. Guidelines has demonstrated that perioperative AT supplementation contributed to blood conservation and prevent perioperative  complications and target organ injury owing to its..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives The literature supports the assertion that patients undergoing cardiac surgery who receive perioperative packed red blood cell (pRBC) transfusions have increased associated mortality. The aim of the current..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Extracorporeal circulation auxiliary to open heart surgery is a common procedure used to treat heart diseases. However, the optimal transfusion strategy for patients undergoing this surgery remains a..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Anemia and red blood cell transfusion are associated with adverse outcomes. Large randomized trials have demonstrated that restrictive transfusion strategies can safely reduce patient exposure to transfusion, forming a..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract BACKGROUND:  Red blood cell (RBC) transfusions are used frequently in pediatric patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) after cardiac surgery. To improve data-driven transfusion decision-making in the..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the effects of 20 ml/kg and 15 ml/kg  (RBCT) on cerebral and intestinal tissue oxygenation, the number of administered transfusions, and..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective: This study aimed to investigate the correlation between the number of bypassed vessels, the duration of Cardiopulmonary bypass, blood transfusion requirements, revision rates, and mortality outcomes. The objective..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction Red blood cell (RBC) transfusion is associated with adverse outcomes, but there are few studies on the RBC volume. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between intraoperative..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective: This study was performed to evaluate the effect of a homemade autotransfusion pressure-control system on the regulation of negative pressure and to clarify the influence of different negative pressures..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Autotransfusion following vaginal delivery has not been as widely adopted and existing data on this topic are limited to small case series. Methods This is a single-center retrospective..
