Abstract Hemodilution and Volume Overload The use of CPB necessitates priming of the CPB circuit, which is typically accomplished using 1-to-2 liters of a crystalloid solution. In addition, 1-to-3 liters..

Abstract Background We used sodium citrate as an alternative anticoagulation agent to heparin in the procedure of autologous blood transfusion with patients with postoperative haemorrhage after CPB. The aim of..

Abstract Background Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a common differential diagnosis in cardiothoracic surgery. The latex immunoturbidimetric assay (LIA) is an enhanced immunoassay that has recently been introduced for the detection..

Abstract Background Fibrinogen γ-chain peptide-coated, adenosine 5'-diphosphate (ADP)-encapsulated liposomes (H12-ADP-liposomes) are potent hemostatic adjuvants that promote platelet thrombi formation at bleeding sites. Although we have reported the efficacy of these..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Because of its rapid onset and offset of action, and its ability to be fully and rapidly reversed with protamine when anticoagulation control is needed, unfractionated heparin (UFH) remains..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Hemorrhage remains a major complication of anticoagulants, with bleeding leading to serious and even life-threatening outcomes in rare settings. Currently available anticoagulants target either multiple coagulation factors or specifically..

Abstract Background Cell salvage reduces allogenic blood transfusion requirements in surgery. We present a pilot study exploring the impact of anticoagulant choice, citrate or heparin, on the quality of cell..

Abstract Background Anticoagulation is critical in patients supported on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The appropriate monitoring strategies for heparin remain unclear. Objectives This systematic review aimed to compare the accuracy..

Abstract A neonate with pulmonary hypertension was supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). During ECMO support, the patient developed Enterococcus faecalis bacteremia, treated with targeted antibiotics. Despite the maximum dose of antibiotics, routine blood..

Abstract Many young adults require heart valve replacements. Current options for valve replacement in adults include mechanical valves, bioprosthetic valves, or the Ross procedure. Of these, mechanical and bioprosthetic valves..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective No recent prospective studies have analyzed the accuracy of standard coagulation tests and thromboelastography (TEG) to identify patients with excessive microvascular bleeding following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The aim..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Inherited and acquired coagulopathy are frequently associated with major bleeding in severe trauma, cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, and postpartum hemorrhage. Perioperative management is multifactorial and includes preoperative optimization..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The aim of this experimantal study which is applied on rats, is to determine the differences on the clotting factors over the application of low and high intraabdominal pressure..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract BACKGROUND:  Postoperative use of platelet function testing to rule out microvascular bleeding due to platelet dysfunction after cardiac surgery still lacks strong reference data and reliable cutoff values, yielding..

Abstract Viscoelastic coagulation tests have been increasingly used for hemostasis management in cardiac surgery. The ClotPro system is a novel viscoelastic device based on principles of rotational thromboelastometry. We aimed..

Abstract The temporal trends in haematological parameters and their associations with blood product transfusion requirements in patients supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are poorly understood. We performed a retrospective..

Abstract Background Despite systemic anticoagulation and antithrombotic surface coating, oxygenator dysfunction remains one of most common technical complications of Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Several parameters have been associated with an..
