Abstract Objectives To compare the incidence of delirium and early (at 1 week)  (POCD) between propofol-based  (TIVA) and volatile anesthesia with  in adult patients undergoing elective  (CABG) with  (CPB). Design This was a prospective randomized..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The use of allogeneic blood products to restore hemostasis during pediatric cardiac surgery is associated with major risks. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in new patient blood..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Perioperative myocardial injury (PMI) with different cut-off values has showed to be associated with different prognostic effect after cardiac surgery. Machine learning (ML) method has been widely used..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background This study aims to externally validate a clinical mathematical model designed to predict urine output (UOP) during the initial post-operative period in pediatric patients who underwent cardiac surgery..

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..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The usage of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in cardiothoracic surgery contributes to the activation of the inflammatory response. In certain cases, the systemic inflammatory response may be immoderate, leading to..
