Abstract Background Platelets stored at 1–6 °C are hypothesized to be more hemostatically active than standard room temperature platelets (RTP) stored at 20–24 °C. Recent studies suggest converting RTP to cold-stored platelets..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Antithrombin (AT) replacement is occasionally utilized in the setting of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)-associated heparin resistance. Although past studies emphasized the high costs and limited clinical benefit..
Read MoreA precise blood transfusion evaluation model for aortic surgery: a single-center retrospective study
Abstract Cardiac aortic surgery is an extremely complicated procedure that often requires large volume blood transfusions during the operation. Currently, it is not possible to accurately estimate the intraoperative blood..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives To compare the outcomes of factor eight inhibitor bypassing activity (FEIBA) versus fresh frozen plasma (FFP) as the primary treatment for postoperative coagulopathy in patients undergoing cardiac surgery...
Read MoreAbstract JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES (JW) refuse allogeneic blood transfusions because of their religious beliefs, a situation that poses significant challenges in the context of cardiac surgery, given that bleeding-related complications may..
Read MoreAbstract Background Minimizing the use of blood component can reduce known and unknown risks, preserve blood bank resources, and decrease healthcare costs. Red Blood Cell (RBC) transfusion is common after cardiac..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction The trial hypothesized that minimally invasive extra-corporeal circulation (MiECC) reduces the risk of serious adverse events (SAEs) after cardiac surgery operations requiring extra-corporeal circulation without circulatory arrest. Methods..
Read MoreAbstract 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..
