Abstract Purpose Blood transfusion is a common and life-saving procedure in congenital heart surgery (CHS), and it is critical for patients to identify risk factors prior to surgery. Our objective..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Patients who receive extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support require substantial transfusions. Red blood cell (RBC) and platelet (PLT) transfusions have been reported to be associated with adverse outcomes..

Abstract 2021 and the COVID 19 pandemic have brought unprecedented blood shortages worldwide. These deficits have propelled national efforts to reduce blood usage, including limiting elective services and accelerating Patient..

Abstract Perioperative allogeneic blood product transfusion is common in lung transplantation and has various implications on the short- and long-term outcomes of lung recipients. This review summarizes the effect of..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction It remains unclear whether patients who will not accept allogeneic blood transfusion can be managed successfully with veno-arterial (V-A) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The objective of our study..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective The study aims were to evaluate current blood transfusion practice in cardiac surgical patients and to explore associations between preoperative anemia, body mass index (BMI), red blood cell..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Current practice guidelines for red blood cell (RBC) transfusion in ICUs are based on haemoglobin threshold, without consideration of oxygen delivery or consumption. We aimed to evaluate an..
