Abstract Background Extracorporeal circulation auxiliary to open heart surgery is a common procedure used to treat heart diseases. However, the optimal transfusion strategy for patients undergoing this surgery remains a..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Anemia and red blood cell transfusion are associated with adverse outcomes. Large randomized trials have demonstrated that restrictive transfusion strategies can safely reduce patient exposure to transfusion, forming a..

Abstract Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the effects of 20 ml/kg and 15 ml/kg  (RBCT) on cerebral and intestinal tissue oxygenation, the number of administered transfusions, and..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective: This study aimed to investigate the correlation between the number of bypassed vessels, the duration of Cardiopulmonary bypass, blood transfusion requirements, revision rates, and mortality outcomes. The objective..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction Red blood cell (RBC) transfusion is associated with adverse outcomes, but there are few studies on the RBC volume. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between intraoperative..

Abstract Objective: This study was performed to evaluate the effect of a homemade autotransfusion pressure-control system on the regulation of negative pressure and to clarify the influence of different negative pressures..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Autotransfusion following vaginal delivery has not been as widely adopted and existing data on this topic are limited to small case series. Methods This is a single-center retrospective..

Abstract Background:  This study investigated the clinical outcomes at the minimum and maximum levels of hematocrit (HCT) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in low-risk patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction Individualized heparin and protamine management is increasingly used as a strategy to reduce coagulation activation and bleeding complications. While it is associated with increased heparin requirements during Cardiopulmonary..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Anaemic cardiac surgery patients are at greater risk of intraoperative red blood cell transfusion. This study questions the application of the World Health Organization population-based anaemia thresholds (haemoglobin..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives The goal of this study was to improve decision making regarding the transfusion of patients at the end of extracorporeal circulation for cardiac surgery through machine learning predictions..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Sex-specific preoperative haemoglobin levels and the need for perioperative red cell transfusion in men and women are still debated. Cavalli and colleagues examined the appropriateness of World Health Organization..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective This study aimed to determine whether or not transfusion of fresh red blood cells (RBCs) reduced the incidence of new or progressive multiple organ dysfunction syndrome compared with..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background The decision to perform transfusion is common but varies among centers and surgeons. This study looked at variables associated with red blood cell (RBC) transfusion in a statewide..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Haemorrhagic shock is frequent in critical care settings and responsible for a high mortality rate due to multiple organ dysfunction and coagulopathy. The management of critically ill patients with..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives Anemia and transfusion are common in cardiac surgery patients, and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Multiple perioperative interventions have been described to reduce blood transfusion, but..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Few studies have considered outcomes among low body mass index (BMI) cohorts undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). This study aims to investigate the effects of low body..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives Colloids are added to the priming solution of the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) pump to maintain colloid osmotic pressure and prevent fluid overload. This study aimed to compare the..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Heparin rebound is a common observed phenomenon after cardiac surgery with CPB and is associated with increased postoperative blood loss. However, the administration of extra protamine may lead..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Patient blood management is a patient-centered evidence-based approach to improve patient outcomes by harnessing the patient's own hematopoietic system to optimize blood health while promoting patient safety and empowerment...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Although surgical techniques and perioperative care have made significant advances, perioperative mortality in cardiac surgery remains relatively high. Single- or multiple-organ failure remains the leading cause of postoperative mortality...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective To identify and compare the rates of cannula-associated  (CaDVT)  on venovenous  (VV-ECMO) who receive systemic  (AC) and those who do not receive AC. Design Retrospective observational study. Setting Tertiary academic medical center...

Abstract Background and Objectives: Minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) has been developing since 1996. Peripheral cannulation is required to perform MICS, and good venous drainage and a bloodless field are..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective Strategies for red blood cell (RBC) transfusion in patients undergoing cardiac surgery have been traditionally anchored to hemoglobin (Hb) targets. A more physiologic approach would consider markers of..
