Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Cardiopulmonary bypass serves as a cornerstone in cardiac surgery, enabling life-sustaining circulatory and respiratory support during complex procedures that necessitate the temporary cessation of cardiac activity. This intricate process..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Purpose Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is an advanced resuscitation therapy for cardiopulmonary arrest refractory to standard CPR. ECPR treatment recommendations are not supported by strong evidence, and institutional criteria..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives To describe the associations between perioperative blood pressures and clinical postoperative outcomes, and to investigate if these associations depend on the preoperative resting and nadir nighttime blood pressures...

Abstract Background Acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) and retrograde autologous priming (RAP) are blood conservation techniques designed to reduce transfusion requirements. Purpose This study evaluated the impact of combining ANH and..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Intraoperative blood salvage can reduce the need for allogeneic blood transfusions, minimizing immunological risks and infection by reusing the patient's own blood. However, in cancer surgery, a key..

Abstract We read the interesting work of Romero‑Garcia and colleagues on the association between partial pressure of O2 in arterial blood (PaO2) and neurological outcomes in a context of acute brain..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) for refractory cardiac arrest is increasing in usage, but risk factors for seizures are largely unknown. We included adult ECPR patients in the Extracorporeal Life..

Abstract This study aimed to assess whether the proinflammatory markers procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP), or interleukin 6 (IL-6) are associated with mortality in neonates with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH)..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) relies on effective blood drainage, and cannula design plays a crucial role in optimizing blood oxygenation. Recirculation, where oxygenated blood returns to the..

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a fundamental treatment for cardiovascular and severe pulmonary diseases, with small animal models providing critical insights into organ protection during cardiopulmonary bypass and ECMO..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a mechanical circulatory and respiratory support system that facilitates gas exchange and hemodynamic stabilization through an external circuit. ECMO has been increasingly utilized for..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives:  We examined data from the International Registry of the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization to identify risk factors for mortality in pregnant and peripartum patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation...

Abstract Lower limb malperfusion for type A acute aortic dissection (ATAAD) is a challenging complication, particularly when it occurs suddenly during the operation. We report a 76‐year‐old female with ATAAD..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Postoperative respiratory failure following cardiac surgery (CS-PRF) remains a critical complication with substantial morbidity and mortality. Current risk prediction models are limited by static assessments and suboptimal accuracy...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) is a rescue therapy for refractory cardiac arrest, with evidence suggesting improved outcomes when performed at experienced centres. Unlike conventional CPR (cCPR), eCPR patients..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Cardiac surgery is a commonly performed procedure worldwide, with an estimated 1–1.5 million cases per year and figures destined to increase in the next few years []. A significant..

Abstract Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is a common complication following cardiac surgery. Despite growing awareness of sexual dimorphism in cardiovascular and chronic kidney disease, little is known about..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) serves as a critical mechanical circulatory support modality, sustaining systemic circulation in cases of severe cardiac failure or cardiac arrest. While VA-ECMO improves hemodynamics,..
