Abstract Background Current indicators for monitoring intraoperative organ function remain predominantly indirect, delayed and non-specific, particularly in paediatric populations undergoing congenital heart surgery, where multifactorial influences further complicate functional assessments. Emerging..

Abstract Assessment of cerebral autoregulation is challenging under different hemodynamic conditions during cardiac surgery and must be rapidly calculated in order to optimize mean arterial pressure (MAP). Whether systemic flow..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Purpose Cardiac surgery associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is a frequent and severe complication. Goal Directed Perfusion (GDP) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has been developed to reduce post-operative complications,..
