Abstract 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,..

Abstract 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..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract 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..

Abstract 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..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract 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..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract 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..

Abstract 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..

Abstract 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..

Abstract 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..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract 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..

Abstract 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™...

Abstract 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..

Abstract 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..
