Abstract Hemodynamic instability due to dysregulated host response is a life-threatening condition requiring vasopressors and vital organ support. Hemoadsorption with Cytosorb has proven to be effective in reducing cytokines and..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Hemostasis and thrombosis are believed to be so intricately linked that any strategies that reduce thrombosis will have an inevitable impact on hemostasis. Consequently, bleeding is viewed as an unavoidable..

Abstract Background: The aim of this study was to compare three different blood washing techniques and describe the differences for the composition of the washed red blood cells (RBC). Methods:..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Adequate and durable recovery in patients supported with venoarterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can be challenging to predict. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation weaning is the process by which the..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a last resort therapy for patients with terminal respiratory failure. In the current worldwide surge of critically ill patients with novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19),..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is a modified form of cardiopulmonary bypass and a complex adult critical care therapy. No evidence appears to exist on sustaining relevant quality nursing standards during..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The Priming volume of the oxygenators has been reduced by 75% during the last two decades and it is now possible to go safely on bypass with a priming..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Commercial 0.9% saline solution for infusion has a pH around 5.5. There are many reasons for this acidity, some of them still obscure. It is also true that infusion..

Abstract Dexmedetomidine (DEX) is a sedative used in combination with other drugs in neonates and infants undergoing cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). This study aimed to evaluate the disposition..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Guidelines recommend evaluation for electrographic seizures in neonates and children at risk, including after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Although initial research using screening electroencephalograms (EEGs) in infants after CPB..
