Abstract Introduction Cardiac surgery remains a high-risk procedure for bleeding despite advances in patient blood management. Conventional centrifugation-based autotransfusion devices primarily recover red blood cells, losing platelets and coagulation factors. The..
Read MoreAbstract Objective: To identify risk factors for bleeding and thrombotic complications during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support in adults and to develop a predictive model based on these factors...
Read MoreAbstract Bleeding complications are frequently observed in patients undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and are associated with increased mortality. Due to the complex mechanisms, managing bleeding during ECMO remains a challenge...
Read MoreAbstract Bleeding and transfusion during cardiac surgery are major sources of complications. Surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass can induce coagulopathy, including platelet dysfunction. Desmopressin has been shown to reduce bleeding and..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) supports severe cardiorespiratory failure but carries a significant bleeding risk. This systematic review aims to report bleeding definitions in studies involving neonates and children treated..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives To study the association between bleeding and acute kidney injury (AKI). Design Post-hoc study of a randomized trial of 4% albumin versus Ringer's acetate for cardiopulmonary bypass priming..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Bleeding and thrombotic complications are common in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) patients and are associated with increased mortality and morbidity. The optimal anticoagulation monitoring protocol in these patients..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is an essential life-support system in critical care specifically engineered to assist cardiac and respiratory function by externally maintaining blood perfusion and oxygenation..
Read MoreAbstract Importance Excessive bleeding is a common and prognostically important complication of cardiac surgery. For bleeding related to coagulation factor deficiency, frozen plasma is the most used therapy. Preliminary trials indicate..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives Severe perioperative bleeding occurs in over 30 % of patients on ticagrelor undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (i-CABG) before completing the recommended 3-day washout. Intraoperative ticagrelor removal with..
Read MoreAbstract Bleeding is a well-known and severe complication of cardiac surgery. Cardiopulmonary bypass, along with heparinization and hemodilution, is thought to affect all pathways of the hemostatic process, leading to..
Read MoreAbstract Background Bleeding is a common and sometimes fatal complication of venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Whether lowering the intensity of anticoagulation during venovenous ECMO is safe or effective is..
Read MoreAbstract Background Excessive perioperative bleeding is associated with major complications in cardiac surgery, resulting in increased morbidity, mortality, and cost. Methods An international expert panel was convened to develop consensus..
Read MoreAbstract BACKGROUND Cardiac surgery involving cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with the risk of acquired coagulopathy, including dysregulated fibrinolysis, which can result in life-threatening bleeding complications. Aprotinin, an antifibrinolytic agent,..
Read MoreAbstract Background The incidence and prognostic impact of major bleeding (MB) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for left main coronary artery disease (LMCAD) are..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Individuals undergoing cardiac surgery face an increased risk of bleeding, as well as alterations in biochemical and coagulation patterns. Therefore, assessing the effectiveness of systems such as Cell..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Bleeding after cardiac surgeries holds risk of mortality and morbidity in pediatrics. This systematic review aimed to evaluate postoperative blood loss and blood transfusion requirements for pediatric patients..
Read MoreAbstract Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are increasingly being used due to their improved efficacy/safety ratio and lower clinical and economic burden when compared to vitamin K antagonists. However, bleeding is..
Read MoreAbstract Objective Minimally invasive extracorporeal circulation has been shown to be non-inferior or even superior to conventional cardiopulmonary bypass circuits in isolated coronary artery bypass grafting, but there is little..
Read MoreAbstract Objective Risk factors for severe postoperative bleeding after cardiac surgery remain multiple and incompletely elucidated. We evaluated the impact of intraoperative blood product transfusions, intravenous fluid administration, and persistently..
Read MoreAbstract Bleeding following cardiac surgery is common and serious, yet a gap persists in understanding how experienced intensive care nurses identify and respond to such complications. Aim To describe the..
Read MoreAbstract Objective Bleeding after cardiac surgery leads to poor outcomes. The objective of the study was to build the PeriOperative Bleeding Score in Cardiac surgery (POBS-Card) to predict bleeding after..
Read MoreAbstract Objective Failure to receive prompt leads to severe complications if massive occurs during surgery. For the timely preparation of blood products, predicting the possibility of massive transfusion (MT) is essential to..
Read MoreAbstract Background Platelets stored at 1–6 °C are hypothesized to be more hemostatically active than standard room temperature platelets (RTP) stored at 20–24 °C. Recent studies suggest converting RTP to cold-stored platelets..
Read MoreAbstract Bleeding and thrombotic complications are major drivers in extracorporeal life support (ECLS) patients’ negative outcomes and are reported in up to 40% of the ECLS-runs [1, 2]. Consumptive coagulopathy..
Read MoreAbstract Background Bleeding and thrombotic complications compromise outcomes in patients undergoing percutaneous mechanical circulatory support (pMCS) with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) and/or microaxial flow pumps like the Impella™...
Read MoreAbstract Hemostatic devices are critical for managing emergent severe bleeding. With the increased use of anticoagulant therapy, there is a need for next-generation hemostats. We rationalized that a hemostat with..
Read MoreAbstract Background Bleeding after surgery on the thoracic aorta is a frequent complication, and can be associated with a significant increase in morbidity and mortality. Recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa)..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose Cold-stored platelets (CSP) are an increasingly active topic of international research. They are maintained at 1–6 °C, in contrast to standard room-temperature platelets (RTP) kept at 20–24 °C. Recent evidence..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES The primary objective was to predict bleeding after cardiac surgery with machine learning using the data from the ANZSCTS (Australia New Zealand Society of Cardiac and Thoracic Surgeons)..
