Abstract Background and Objectives Red blood cells are often overprepared for surgery, leading to waste and increased costs, despite the need for cross-matching tests. This study aimed to develop a..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives To assess whether systematic perioperative correction of anemia and/or iron deficiency (ID) improves hemoglobin (Hb) levels and reduces transfusion requirements in elective cardiac surgery. Design Post hoc analysis..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives The Association of Cardiothoracic Anesthetists Perioperative Risk of Blood Transfusion (ACTA-PORT) score was originally developed to predict the need for transfusion in cardiac surgery patients. Given the inter-relationship..

Abstract Background Up to half of patients with infective endocarditis (IE) require cardiac surgery. Although anaemia is common, its precise prevalence, transfusion practices and impact on outcomes in surgically treated IE..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) carries a high risk of bleeding and allogeneic blood transfusions, both associated with poor outcomes. We assessed perioperative transfusions and factors associated with..

Abstract In the high-stakes realm of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), every decision can have profound consequences—from initiation to termination. Management controversies persist throughout the entire course. Beyond patient selection, timing,..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background This study aimed to analyze the postoperative blood transfusion demand and safety of intraoperative cell salvage (ICS) without leukocyte depletion filters in cesarean sections complicated by placenta previa...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Blood is a biological, irreplaceable, and perishable resource, provided through voluntary, altruistic, and free donation in Brazil. Although blood components are widely used in hospital settings, several challenges..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Globally, postpartum hemorrhage is still among the most significant factors in preventable maternal morbidity and mortality. Although early recognition and intervention have improved with advances in obstetric care, transfusion..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The demand for homologous blood transfusions has reached an unprecedented level, driven by a declining donor population and the ever-increasing need for blood products. While significant advancements have been..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of autologous blood transfusion on the requirement of allogeneic blood products and the change in hemoglobin levels in..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background The optimal transfusion threshold for patients undergoing venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) remains uncertain. Methods We used data from OBLEX (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03714048), an international, prospective, observational study conducted..

Perfusfind S.L.

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 - Postoperative hemorrhage is a significant complication of cardiovascular surgery. Although autologous cell salvage is safe and effective for preserving patients' blood, its use in the postoperative context remains..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract To the Editor: Red blood cell (RBC) transfusion is commonly performed during on-pump cardiac surgery; however, excessive use may lead to adverse clinical outcomes and medical resources wastage.[] The call..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Intraoperative cell salvage (ICS) is a blood conservation technique utilized in major surgery, yet its application in oncologic procedures remains debated. Concerns persist about the theoretical risk of metastasis..

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 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..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction:  Blood transfusion is associated with adverse clinical and surgical outcomes. Strategies like the Patient Blood Management program, which includes blood cell salvage, contribute to reducing the use of..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Aortic surgeries are associated with intraoperative blood loss, often requiring allogeneic blood transfusion. Therefore, blood must be viewed as a scarce resource that carries risks and benefits. Many preoperative..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction Blood transfusion is associated with adverse events and should be prevented. Preoperative identification of patients at risk is necessary and makes subsequent preventive intervention possible. Many risk models..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Study design Prospective Clinical Study. Objective Allogeneic blood transfusion (ABT) is the current standard of blood replenishment for metastatic spine tumour surgery (MSTS) despite known complications. Salvaged blood transfusion..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background and Objectives Previously published studies have consistently identified significant variation in red blood cell (RBC) transfusions during cardiac surgery. Clinical guidelines can be effective at improving the average..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Timely recognition of perioperative red blood cell transfusion (PRT) risk is crucial for developing personalized blood management strategies in pediatric patients. In this study, we sought to construct..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective Wide interhospital variation exists in cardiac surgical postoperative transfusion rates. We aimed to compare transfusion rates at 2 hospitals and identify the institutional practice factors, unrelated to patient..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective To evaluate the effect of a blood conservation program on trends in use of donor blood products and early clinical outcomes in infants undergoing open heart surgery. Methods..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Transfusion of packed red blood cell (RBCs) saves millions of lives yearly worldwide, making packed RBCs the most commonly administered drug in hospitals after vaccines. However, not all blood..

Perfusfind S.L.

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 autotransfusion during ECMO..
