Abstract Abstract Objectives:  To investigate whether severe hyperoxia predisposes to end-organ complications and whether these complications contribute to in-hospital mortality among cardiogenic shock (CS) patients supported in veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a state of critical end-organ hypoperfusion caused by primary cardiac failure, in which the heart cannot generate sufficient output despite adequate preload and is associated..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Rigorous research in cardiovascular physiology and medicine has led to critical advancements in preventing, diagnosing, and treating cardiovascular disease; however, striking disparities persist in cardiovascular disease prevention, diagnosis, and..

Introduction Hemophilia is a hereditary bleeding disorder caused by deficiency of clotting factor VIII (Hemophilia A) or factor IX (Hemophilia B), resulting in impaired blood coagulation and a heightened risk..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background: To investigate the factors that influence blood transfusions after neonatal cardiac surgery and their association with prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) to provide a basis for optimizing blood transfusion..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Studies into the mechanisms of cardiopulmonary bypass-associated acute lung injury have not presented breakthroughs for many years, resulting in the stagnation of management strategies and clinical medicine measures. This..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Postoperative organ dysfunction remains a major challenge in adult cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), frequently involving the kidneys, heart, and lungs. These complications are primarily driven by hemolysis,..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) use for cardiogenic shock (CS) is increasing worldwide despite conflicting results from randomized trials, which focused on myocardial-infarction related CS (MI-CS). Methods We..
