Abstract Background Despite sternum sparing and without cardiopulmonary bypass, the actual value of minimally invasive coronary surgery (MICS) is still debatable. This study aimed to compare the completeness of revascularization..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background: Minimally invasive extracorporeal circulation (MiECC) has been introduced to mitigate the inflammatory response and reduce blood transfusion needs compared to conventional cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) perioperatively. A hybrid system..

Abstract BACKGROUND:  Current blood pressure management strategies cannot accommodate large interindividual variations in cerebral autoregulation, which may result in inadvertent cerebral ischemia. A novel optical neuromonitoring device was developed to..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction: In cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), blood circulation is temporarily maintained by an artificial blood-pumping device during cardiac surgery. Worldwide, approximately half of the CPB procedures utilize either centrifugal or..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Studies have proved that artery infusion during CPB operations can reduce lung injury led by CPB surgery. This study was undertaken to investigate the effects of HTK solution..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction Increased time-dose-response (TDR) of suboptimal oxygen delivery (DO2) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has been associated with increased postoperative complications. The impact of surgical approach - minimally invasive vs...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background  Cardiopulmonary bypass use during surgery disrupts microcirculation, which can contribute to lung injury, particularly in patients with pulmonary comorbidities. Continuous transcutaneous carbon dioxide (CO2) monitoring assists clinicians to..

Abstract Objectives To ascertain the dosage of bivalirudin in neonates and infants undergoing arterial switch operation on integrated extracorporeal membrane oxygenation–cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuit. Design Pilot study. Setting A tertiary..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract OBJECTIVES Current preoperative counselling in neonatal cardiac surgery is mainly focused on the primary procedure. However, other factors must be considered when evaluating the surgical risk of a neonate...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) may lead to many postoperative complications. However, many complications cannot be predicted in time using the current clinical methods, or the prediction is..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract BACKGROUND Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a life-support technology widely used in surgery. Review articles reflect research advances in a certain topic or field within a certain period of time...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction Cardiac surgery in infants often triggers a severe inflammatory response. The role of biomarkers in predicting clinical outcomes in this group of patients has been debated in the..

Abstract Background: Population pharmacokinetics (PK) models could provide specific references for the formulation of personal drug delivery protocols, however, there is no population PK study of tranexamic acid (TXA) have been..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction: Indexed oxygen delivery (DO₂i) is a critical parameter in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) management. Traditional goal-directed perfusion (GDP) protocols use fixed DO₂i thresholds, typically derived from normothermic conditions. However,..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Purpose Clinicians presume a relationship between the management of blood pressure during cardiac surgery and postoperative morbidity and mortality. With limited evidence to inform practice, we surveyed Canadian cardiac..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent and severe problem following heart surgery, particularly in procedures involving cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). This research investigates the Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) on..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Delirium is a common neurological complication after cardiac surgery. The purpose of the present study was to analyze the association between hemodynamic fluctuations during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction Imbalance in the redox equilibrium is common in any type of aggression. Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) initiation induces metabolic perturbations, and reliable biological monitoring tools for this condition are..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) usually occurs after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and threatens life without timely intervention. Early assessment and prevention are critical for saving AKI patients. However, numerical..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract OBJECTIVES Peripheral cannula selection in minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) is crucial, as venous drainage limitations during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) can impair end-organ perfusion and overall outcomes. This study..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective Cardiac arrest happens in 0.7%-5.2% patients after cardiovascular surgery, and cases with asystole or severe bradycardia need timely temporary pacing. However, routine temporary pacing wire insertion in cardiopulmonary..
