Abstract Background Renal injury is a serious complication after cardiac surgery and therefore, early detection and much more prediction of postoperative kidney injury is desirable. Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is..

Abstract Objective Unfractionated heparin is a mixture of  with different pharmacologic and  properties. The literature suggests that blood loss after cardiac surgery is related to both elevated postoperative heparin concentrations and the..

Abstract Objectives: Colloid osmotic pressure (COP) is a major determinant of fluid shift in paediatric patients undergoing corrective surgery for congenital heart disease (CHD) using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). However, very..

Abstract Background Pulmonary dysfunction is a known complication after cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass, ranging from subclinical functional changes to prolonged postoperative ventilation, acute lung injury, and acute respiratory distress..

Abstract Background:  Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is a common complication and is associated with the poorest outcomes. Therefore, early prediction of CSA-AKI remains a major issue. Severity scores..

Abstract Purpose Cardiopulmonary bypass induces an ischaemia–reperfusion injury and systemic inflammatory response, which contributes to low cardiac output syndrome following cardiac surgery. Exogenous nitric oxide during cardiopulmonary bypass has shown..

Abstract Introduction: Intestinal fatty acid-binding protein (I-FABP) is increasingly employed as a highly specific marker of intestinal necrosis. However, the value of this marker associated with cardiovascular surgery with hypothermic..

Abstract The extent and technique of resection for ascending aortopathies remains debated. The 2 main camps are divided into those who believe in the hemiarch resection utilizing hypothermic circulatory arrest..

Abstract Objective: To investigate whether human serum albumin coating before cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) could improve platelet function and hemostasis and mitigate the inflammatory response among patients receiving aortic arch replacement..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract BACKGROUND:  The inflated costs and documented deleterious effects of excess perioperative transfusion have led to the investigation of targeted coagulation factor replacement strategies. One particular coagulation factor of interest..
