Abstract Introduction Minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) for mitral valve repair often uses cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) through peripheral femoro-femoral cannulation. A rare complication of differential hypoxemia can cause upper body..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is essential for the conduct of open-heart procedures. While lifesaving, CPB can be associated with significant end-organ injuries believed to result from inflammatory responses triggered by..

Abstract Introduction: Mannitol, an osmotic diuretic solution, is commonly utilized in priming cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and can impact kidney function. This study was conducted to investigate the impact of mannitol use..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Prophylactic corticosteroids have been widely used to mitigate the inflammatory response induced by cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). However, the impact of this treatment on clinically important outcomes in infants..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The safe use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) relies upon the ability to administer, monitor, and reverse anticoagulation. Although rare, the factor XII deficient patient creates a challenge for the..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background:  The incidence of hyperlactatemia due to hypoperfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) increases morbidity. Carbon dioxide production during CPB is one of the lactate production markers, in addition to..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) triggers pulmonary injury. In this trial we assessed the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of low frequency ventilation (LFV) during CPB in patients..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background The inflammatory response to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in pediatric patients remains an unresolved challenge. Sanguineous CPB prime, composed of allogenic blood products, is one potentially important stimulus. This..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is a high-risk complication with well-recognized increased morbidity and mortality after cardiac surgery attributable in large part to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)-associated factors contributing..

Abstract Introduction Over the past 20 years, the Pediatric Cardiovascular Department at Penn State Health Children's Hospital and College of Medicine has been researching ways to improve the safety and..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives To compare brain injury biomarker release levels between two different cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) flow rates in elective cardiac surgery and to explore differences in postoperative delirium between groups..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation are critical tools in contemporary cardiac surgery and intensive care, respectively. While these techniques share similar components, their application contexts differ,..
