Abstract Introduction The aim of the current study was to evaluate the impact of increased blood lactate levels during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on immediate results in patients who underwent open..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Perioperative applications of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to monitor regional tissue oxygenation and perfusion in cardiac and noncardiac surgery are of increasing interest in neonatal care. Complex neonatal surgery can..

Abstract Background: Vasoplegic syndrome (VPS) is defined as systemic hypotension due to profound vasodilatation and loss of systemic vascular resistance (SVR), despite normal or increased cardiac index, and characterized by..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Anesthesiologists are important components of volunteer teams which perform congenital cardiac surgery in low-resource settings throughout the world, but limited data exist to characterize the nature and breadth of..

Abstract Introduction Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is currently performed in infants and newborns for surgical correction of congenital heart diseases (CHDs).1 CPB exposes the body to extreme, nonphysiologic conditions that initiate a..
