Abstract Background: Preoperative anaemia and perioperative transfusion are associated with adverse outcomes after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may induce persistent haematological and endothelial alterations...

Abstract Objective To describe the application of a cell saver device (CSD) to manage blood loss in dogs and cats. Study design Retrospective study. Animals A total of 102 client-owned..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Postcardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) bleeding is partly driven by impaired thrombin generation. Recent trials suggest differing clinical effects of fresh frozen plasma (FFP) and prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC), but..

Abstract First described in 1926 by Erik von Willebrand as hereditary pseudohemophilia, von Willebrand disease (vWD) is now recognized as the most common inherited bleeding disorder worldwide, with an estimated..

Abstract Introduction The anticoagulation strategy and the cardiopulmonary bypass management represent two core elements of the intraoperative care of the cardiac surgery patient. The ideal approach remains an issue of..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract As cardiac surgery volumes increase worldwide, major bleeding remains a significant complication following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery. Accurate prediction of postoperative hemorrhage risk is crucial. This study aimed to..

Abstract Objective To evaluate the effects of intravenous iron on red cell transfusion and recovery after cardiac surgery. Design International, multicentre, double blind, placebo controlled randomised trial (ITACS). Setting 33..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective Hemostatic therapy is commonly used in cardiac surgery. Despite tools to reduce inappropriate use, variability remains, mainly due to a lack of standards, especially intraoperatively. This study examined..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives Cardiopulmonary bypass is necessary for surgical repair of complex congenital heart disease. We studied whether whole blood use in circuit prime and for initial intraoperative transfusion needs improved..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Despite advances in patient blood management, the optimal hemoglobin threshold for Red Blood Cell (RBC) transfusion remains controversial. This observational study evaluated the association between the relative decline..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Approximately 10% to 15% of all red blood cell (RBC) transfusions in the United States and United Kingdom occur during cardiac surgery. Despite efforts to standardize patient blood..

Abstract Objectives To explore the superiority of fibrinogen concentrate (FC) versus cryoprecipitate for bleeding after cardiac surgery. Design Secondary analysis of the FIBRES randomized trial. Setting Eleven Canadian hospitals, February..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Patients receiving clopidogrel who undergo urgent CABG before the recommended 5-day washout period are at increased risk of perioperative bleeding. This study evaluated whether intraoperative hemoadsorption can reduce..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background The impact of perioperative red blood cell transfusion on long-term outcomes after cardiovascular surgery remains controversial. This meta-analysis of reconstructed time-to-event data aimed to evaluate the association between..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction Pre-operative anaemia is associated with adverse outcomes following cardiac surgery. However, the prognostic impact of postoperative anaemia is characterised incompletely. We examined whether anaemia at hospital discharge independently..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives To describe perioperative transfusion rates, hospital variability, temporal trends, and the association between red blood cell (RBC) transfusion and predefined risk factors in Dutch cardiac surgery. Design Nationwide..

Perfusfind S.L.

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 Objectives We investigated the effects of the combined use of preoperatively separated autologous red blood cells, plasma, and fibrin sealant on reducing allogeneic blood transfusion during valve-sparing root replacement..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background While Cell Saver technology effectively reduces red blood cell transfusion in the perioperative setting, its impact on the need for pro-hemostatic factors remains unclear. The use of Cell..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of cell salvage (CS) use in cardiac reoperations and to conduct a cost analysis considering the Turkish..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Perioperative anemia and red blood cell transfusions are important risk factors for morbidity and mortality in cardiac surgery. Preoperative anemia is common, with up to 50% of patients presenting..
