Abstract Study Design.  A retrospective, propensity-matched observational study. Objective.  To assess the impact of cell saver (CS) homologous transfusion on perioperative medical complications in adult patients undergoing spinal deformity surgery...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives Perioperative transfusion thresholds have garnered increasing scrutiny as restrictive strategies have been shown to be noninferior. The study authors used data from a statewide academic collaborative to test..

Abstract Background: Patient blood management (PBM) is a multidisciplinary and patient-centered treatment approach, comprising the detection and treatment of anemia, the minimization of blood loss, and the rational use of allogeneic..

Abstract Background Evidence-based recommendations for transfusion in patients with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) are scarce. The current literature is limited to single-center studies with small sample sizes, therefore..

Abstract Objective Despite inherent comorbidities, obese cardiac surgical patients paradoxically had shown lower morbidity and mortality, although the nature of this association is still unclear. Thus, the authors intended in..

Abstract Objectives Viscoelastic  assays, such as rotational  (ROTEM), are used increasingly in cardiac surgery to guide transfusion decisions. After separation from  (CPB), achieving  rapidly is the main goal before chest closure. The authors hypothesized..

Abstract ABO blood group has been shown to be a major determinant of plasma von Willebrand factor (vWF) levels. O blood group is associated with the lowest vWF levels and..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Aim: In current practice, fast-track protocols are gaining importance in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. For this purpose, besides different application techniques, biomarkers are frequently examined in the peri-operative period...

Abstract Cold agglutinin disease is a type of autoimmune haemolytic anaemia caused by autoantibodies that bind to red blood cell antigens at a cold temperature and causes extravascular haemolysis and..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Thrombocytopenia, hemorrhage and platelet transfusion are common in patients supportedwith venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO). However, current literature is limited to smallsingle‑center experiences with high degrees of..

Abstract Introduction Cardiac output (CO) is a key determinant of oxygen delivery. Low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) causes organ dysfunction, prolonged hospital stay, and reduces survival in perioperative settings and..

Abstract With the implementation of the new allocation system in the United States on October 18, 2018, patients requiring temporary mechanical circulatory support (tMCS) have the highest priority, a shorter..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background: The use of autologous blood transfusion in digestive tract surgeries, whether after preoperative blood collection or intraoperative blood salvage, is an alternative to allogeneic blood, which brings with..

Abstract Objective This study aimed to investigate the blood protective effect of autologous platelet-rich plasma in aortic root reconstruction under longtime cardiopulmonary bypass. Method Patients who underwent aortic root reconstruction..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Cardiopulmonary bypass is an integral and indispensable part of surgical repair of congenital heart defects. While the complications and morbidity secondary to the use of cardiopulmonary bypass has decreased..
