Abstract Background: Hemodilution during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a standard perfusion strategy used to reduce blood viscosity and enhance microcirculatory flow. The hemodilution rate, expressed as hemoglobin (Hb) concentration, is..

Abstract Over the past 2 decades, liver transplantation (LT) has undergone a profound transformation in different fields. In particular, once characterized by massive blood product utilization, LT is now characterized..

Abstract Objective To investigate the dynamic impact of anemia at different perioperative timepoints (preoperative, postoperative day 1, 3, and 7) on adverse events in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Methods This..

Abstract Hemolysis, the rupture of red blood cells, releases hemoglobin, haem, and redox-active iron into the bloodstream. When the body’s scavenging capacity is overwhelmed, these species can exert deleterious effects,..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background/Objectives: Postoperative complications following adult cardiac surgery are biologically interrelated, yet most machine learning models predict single outcomes. We developed an explainable multi-output model integrating routinely collected clinical variables..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Preoperative intravenous iron has become increasingly popular as a strategy to optimize hemoglobin before major surgery. However, its potential benefit in non-anaemic patients undergoing cardiac surgery remains unclear...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Allogeneic blood is a limited and globally scarce resource. Protocols based on the Patient Blood Management (PBM) program, incorporating therapeutic alternatives to reduce the use of red blood..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Platelet activation is crucial for hemostasis and thrombosis, particularly in patients on antiplatelet therapy. Managing bleeding risk during cardiac surgery requires understanding platelet dynamics, especially when antiplatelet agents..

Abstract Background This study aims to assess the agreement between noninvasive hemoglobin (SpHb) and invasive hemoglobin (InvHb) monitoring in guiding blood transfusions during thoracic procedures. Methods This study was not..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract In the course of extracorporeal circulation (ECC), real-time monitoring of blood electrolyte levels is crucial for ensuring patient safety and improving outcomes. A continuous detection chip of blood electrolytes..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Patient Blood Management (PBM) is a multidisciplinary strategy to optimise patient outcomes by preserving autologous blood and reducing unnecessary transfusion. Although PBM initiatives exist worldwide, the consistency of..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Coagulopathy, bleeding, and transfusion of allogeneic blood products remain major concerns in a relevant portion of patients undergoing cardiac surgery, and all of them have been associated with increased..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Study Question To describe the blood product utilization during neonatal and pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and to determine whether its usage correlates with clinical outcomes of bleeding, thrombosis..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Transfusions are one of the most common procedures performed in the hospital setting, but the frequency of adverse events is often not recognized. These transfusion adverse events include transfusion..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Patient Blood Management (PBM) has evolved from a transfusion-centered practice to a structured, patient-focused perioperative strategy aimed at improving surgical outcomes while preserving blood resources. In the operating room,..

Abstract Background Jehova′s Witnesses refuse the administration of allogenic blood products for religious reasons. This stance represents a special challenge for the perioperative management and requires individualized ethically sensitive and..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Patient blood management (PBM) aims to improve patient outcome by managing and preserving a patient’s own blood and its components. Among the many recommended interventions, reducing intraoperative blood loss..
