Abstract Objectives Prolonged  (CPB) is recognized as a risk factor for  (ARF), but the dose effect of time on bypass is unknown. We therefore examined the risk of ARF associated with increasing..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Acute kidney injury is a common and serious complication after congenital heart surgery, particularly among infants. This comorbidity has been independently associated with adverse outcomes including an increase in..

Abstract Objective:  To describe neurobehavioral outcomes and investigate factors associated with survival and survival with good neurobehavioral outcome 1 year after in-hospital cardiac arrest for children who received extracorporeal cardiopulmonary..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Aim Although recent  (CA) trials found no benefits of  versus normothermia , preclinical models suggest earlier timing of hypothermia improves  efficacy. This study investigated whether shorter time to goal temperature was associated with..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background There is an increasing number of young adults living with  (CHD). The goal of this study was to ascertain the frequency of  (AKI) as well as the risk factors and..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Perfusion strategies for  have direct consequences on pediatric cardiac surgery outcomes. However, inconsistent study results and a lack of uniform evidence-based guidelines for pediatric cardiopulmonary bypass management have led to..

Abstract Objectives Our aim was to describe the pharmacokinetics of cefazolin in paediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) who received cefazolin for peri-operative surgical prophylaxis in addition..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Pediatric cardiac surgical patients are at particular risk for post-cardiopulmonary bypass hemorrhage. Moreover, both the incidence and volume of  have been associated with increased morbidity in pediatric cardiac patients. Transfusion..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The objective of this study is to establish reliable markers for mortality in children with refractory cardiogenic shock who underwent extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. A retrospective observational cohort study was..

Perfusfind S.L.

OBJECTIVES Cardioplegia is the primary method for myocardial protection during cardiac surgery. We conducted a systematic review of randomized controlled trials of cardioplegia in children to evaluate the current evidence..

Abstract Introduction: We have been developing a closed-circuit cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) system (“Dihead CPB”) for application during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and valve surgery. To strive for minimal hemolysis..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Aim To assess the use of   (ECPR), compared with manual or mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), for  (OHCA) and in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) in adults and children. Methods The PRISMA guidelines were..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Bleeding contributes to the high mortality of venovenous  membrane oxygenation (vvECMO). The development of acquired von Willebrand syndrome (AVWS) has been identified as relevant pathology during ECMO. This study..

Perfusfind S.L.

CURRENTLY, MINIMALLY INVASIVE cardiac surgery (MICS) is very popular. In most cases, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is used with femoral arterial cannulation, and the whole body is perfused in a retrograde..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The use of minimized cardiopulmonary bypass support to reduce the side effects of extracorporeal circulation is still contradictorily discussed. This study compares perfusion operated by conventional (CCPB) and minimized..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract OctaplasLG is indicated for use in patients undergoing cardiac surgery who require replacement of multiple clotting factors. The use of OctaplasLG over single-donor fresh frozen plasma (FFP) may have..

Abstract The world of pediatric cardiac surgery and cardiac surgery as a whole lost one of the great pioneers with the passing, at the beginning of 2018, of Francis Fontan...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Children who undergo cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass are a unique population at high risk for postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) and fluid overload. Fluid management is important in..
