Abstract Objectives Myocardial revascularisation and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) can cause ischaemia-reperfusion injury, leading to myocardial and other end-organ damage. Volatile anaesthetics protect the myocardium in experimental studies. However, there is uncertainty..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Effect of Cardiopulmonary bypass on Lungs: organ damage during cardiac surgery has been primarily attributed to the use of CPB. Pulmonary function in patients after CPB is consistently altered..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) can alter pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters and the drug may adsorb to the CPB device, altering exposure. Cefazolin is a beta-lactam antibiotic used for antimicrobial prophylaxis during..

Abstract Introduction Postoperative delirium (POD) has a major impact on patient recovery after cardiac surgery. Although its pathophysiology remains unclear, there could be a correlation between cerebral blood flow (CBF)..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Acute microcirculatory perfusion disturbances and organ edema are important factors leading to organ dysfunction during cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Priming of the CPB system with crystalloid..

Abstract Dear Editor, Acute kidney injury (AKI) frequently occurs as a complication in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, with reported incidence rates ranging from 20 to 40% []. The development of..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Cardiac surgeries under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) are complex procedures with high incidence of complications, morbidity and mortality. The inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) has been frequently used as an important..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Oxygenators, as used in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuits, are components with good air removal properties. However, under some conditions the semipermeable characteristics of hollow fibers allow air to..

Abstract Purpose: There is currently no consensus on the most appropriate blood transfusion strategy for older adults undergoing cardiovascular surgery. We aimed to investigate the potential benefits of the patient blood..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background One of the main goals of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is targeting an adequate mean arterial pressure (MAP) during heart surgery, in order to maintain appropriate perfusion pressures in..
