Abstract This article represents the first attempt to perform a pooled analysis about remote ischaemic preconditioning (RIPC) in reduction of acute kidney injury (AKI) of adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Renal injury is a serious complication after cardiac surgery and therefore, early detection and much more prediction of postoperative kidney injury is desirable. Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is..

Abstract Introduction: When applying a blood-conserving approach in paediatric cardiac surgery with the aim of reducing the transfusion of homologous blood products, the decision to use blood or blood-free priming..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background: Development of a high-fidelity cardiac surgery simulator (CSS) requires integration of a heart model with a mock cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuit that can provide feedback to mimic the..

Abstract Background In this study we aimed to evaluate the effects of dilutional anemia resulting from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and its correction with red blood cell (RBC) transfusion on tissue..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives: Colloid osmotic pressure (COP) is a major determinant of fluid shift in paediatric patients undergoing corrective surgery for congenital heart disease (CHD) using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). However, very..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The use of total circulatory arrest (TCA)/deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) as a support modality in congenital heart surgery is a time-tested strategy. However, with technological advances, the widespread..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background and Aim of the Study Intra‐aortic balloon pump (IABP) is the most commonly used device for circulatory support of patients with heart disease. The aim of this study..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract BACKGROUND Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is frequent after cardiac surgery, but data on its incidence and perioperative risk factors are scarce for children with congenital heart disease. METHODS..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives: Platelet dysfunction is an important cause of postoperative bleeding after cardiac surgery. Protamine is routinely used for reversal of heparin after cardiopulmonary bypass (CBP), but may affect platelet..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background This retrospective single-center study aimed to analyze transfusion requirements, coagulation parameters, and outcome parameters in patients undergoing lung transplantation (LuTx) with intraoperative extracorporeal circulatory support, comparing cardiopulmonary bypass..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective: To investigate whether human serum albumin coating before cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) could improve platelet function and hemostasis and mitigate the inflammatory response among patients receiving aortic arch replacement..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract During cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), gaseous microemboli (GME) are released into the patients’ arterial bloodstream. Gaseous microemboli may contribute to the adverse outcome after cardiac surgery. Recently, two oxygenator models..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract BACKGROUND:  The inflated costs and documented deleterious effects of excess perioperative transfusion have led to the investigation of targeted coagulation factor replacement strategies. One particular coagulation factor of interest..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Purpose Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) occurs frequently after cardiac surgery. The pathophysiology of POCD remains elusive, but previous work showed that intravenous lidocaine may be protective against POCD, possibly..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The effect of obesity on allogeneic intraoperative blood product transfusion in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) is poorly understood. We analyzed the influence of obesity on..
