Abstract We assessed the accuracy of Masimo O3™ regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) readings by comparing them with reference values and evaluated the relationship between rSO2 and somatic tissue oxygen saturation..

Abstract BACKGROUND:  Hyperreninemia after cardiac surgery is associated with cardiovascular instability. Angiotensin II (AT-II) could potentially attenuate hyperreninemia while maintaining target blood pressure. This study assesses the association between AT-II..

Abstract Objective To explore whether prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC) is not inferior to fresh frozen plasma (FFP) with regard to reducing perioperative blood loss in patients undergoing cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary..

Abstract Background Del Nido cardioplegia (DNc) was designed for superior myocardial protection during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). We conducted a retrospective review to explore if DNc was associated with increase in..

Abstract Introduction Patients undergoing cardiac surgery can experience significant thermal changes during the perioperative period and, for that reason, it is essential to monitor temperatures with adequate accuracy and precision..

Abstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) which can affect morbidity and mortality. Goal-directed perfusion (GDP) intended to avoid the nadir oxygen delivery..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract For over four decades, pump flow rate during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has been estimated using body surface area (BSA). As patients presenting for heart surgery are increasingly obese, this..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Major blood loss remains common in cardiac surgery with an incidence of up to 15%. Bleeding leads to anemia and blood product transfusion, and can lead to the need..
