Abstract Introduction Significant blood loss (≥ 500 mL) during spinal surgery is common and linked to greater transfusion requirements and worse outcomes. Preoperative tools for risk stratification and individualized blood-management strategies..

Abstract A six-month-old, 3.3-kg, intact male American shorthair cat with a ventricular septal defect (VSD) underwent open-heart surgery using total cardiopulmonary bypass. Repair of the VSD was performed via a..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The transfusion of ABO compatible but not ABO identical red blood cells and plasma and the transfusion of platelets and cryoprecipitate without concern for ABO in any manner, are..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background: Hemolysis, defined as the rupture of red blood cells (RBCs) with the release of hemoglobin into plasma, is a common concern during blood collection and extracorporeal circulation. Although..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Intraoperative blood salvage can reduce the need for allogeneic blood transfusions, minimizing immunological risks and infection by reusing the patient's own blood. However, in cancer surgery, a key..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Blood compatibility, defined as a material’s ability to maintain blood flow without inducing coagulation or hemolysis, was investigated through surface roughness optimization in blood pump flow channels. This study..

Abstract OBJECTIVES Retained blood syndrome (RBS) is defined as the postoperative retention of blood within the thoracic cavity. In addition to the mechanical impacts on cardiac and pulmonary function, RBS..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Currently, autologous platelet concentrates (APCs) are frequently used for soft- and hard-tissue regeneration, not only within the oral cavity, but also extra-orally including chronic wounds, burns, joints, dermatological conditions,..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Today, with wars raging in Ukraine and the Middle East, the demand for blood is high. Despite this, few companies produce the necessary equipment to draw, store, and..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Pediatric patients requesting bloodless care represent a challenging clinical situation, as parents cannot legally refuse lifesaving or optimal interventions for their children. Here, we report clinical outcomes for..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Inflammation and thrombosis are two major complications of blood-contacting catheters that are used as extracorporeal circuits for hemodialysis and life-support systems. In clinical applications, complications can lead to increased..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background: Crystalloid cardioplegic solutions are believed to reduce hemoglobin significantly and increase the transfusion rate. However, recent reports indicate that the del Nido cardioplegia may preserve blood morphology parameters...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives:  The objective of this work was to carry out a systematic review of clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) pertaining to intraoperative red blood cell (RBC) transfusions, in terms of..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Patient blood management (PBM) has been proposed as a standard of care in modern . PBM-related interventions usually are implemented as bundles, but randomized controlled trials on the implementation of..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) exposes blood to artificial surfaces, which induces a systemic inflammatory activation.This may contribute to hypotension during CPB. A perceived difference between two membrane oxygenators was noted...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective To assess the ratio of non-red blood cell to red blood cell components required to avoid coagulopathy when transfusing large amounts of salvaged blood using laboratory test–guided therapy...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract We present a case series of seven patients with suspected cold agglutinin antibodies, discovered after initiation of bypass. Laboratory analysis of blood samples intraoperatively determined the cause of the..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Neonates have low levels of antithrombin. Inadequate anticoagulation during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) due to low antithrombin activity may result in a poor preservation of the coagulation system during bypass...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Heparin dosage for anticoagulation during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is commonly calculated based on the patient's body weight. The protamine–heparin ratio used for heparin reversal varies widely among institutions..

Perfusfind S.L.

Summary Background Blood transfusion has well‐documented adverse effects. As part of a blood conservation initiative at our center, we began routine use of cell saver for all congenital heart surgery..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Low plasma fibrinogen level is common after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Current substitution practice with fibrinogen concentrate generally follows a single measurement and cut-off values from the literature, whereas early..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Open heart surgeries are common for treating ischemic and heart valve disease. During cardiac surgery, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) can temporarily take over the function of heart and lungs. However,..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Bleeding following cardiac surgery that warrants transfusion of blood products is associated with significant complications, including increased mortality at 1 year following surgery. Factor concentrates, such as prothrombin complex..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract A 34-year-old African American man was brought to the trauma resuscitation area with 2 gunshot wounds to his right anterior chest below his clavicle and his left back. On..
