Abstract Objective To explore the experiences of clinical and non-clinical staff in an intensive care unit regarding the perceived benefits and drawbacks of using in situ simulation as a training..
Read More
Abstract Background: Aortic valve replacement (AVR) is a common procedure for aortic valve pathologies, particularly in the elderly. While traditional open AVR is established, minimally invasive techniques aim to reduce..

Abstract Background This study aims to externally validate a clinical mathematical model designed to predict urine output (UOP) during the initial post-operative period in pediatric patients who underwent cardiac surgery..
Read More
Abstract Introduction Bleeding and thrombotic events (BTE) are frequent during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). They occur at varying timepoints and may be affected by temporal changes in coagulation and fibrinolysis...
Read More
Abstract Simulation educators are often requested to provide multidisciplinary and/or interprofessional simulation training in response to critical incidents. Current perspectives on patient safety focus on learning from failure, success and..
Read More
Abstract Background Clinical blood resources are scarce and autologous blood transfusion for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) withdrawal is less studied. Objectives To assess the use of staged during decannulation. Methods The study..
