Abstract Background:Infants with CHD who undergo cardiopulmonary bypass surgery are at risk of impaired growth and neurodevelopment. However, few studies have thoroughly investigated the risk factors for growth and neurodevelopmental..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Children with congenital heart disease are at risk for poor neurodevelopment. The gut microbiome may influence neurodevelopmental outcomes through the gut-brain axis. This study investigated the association of..

Abstract Objectives To describe the incidence and survival of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) deployment in the operating room (OR) for failure to wean from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) after surgery for..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract As survival among patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) continues to improve, the population of adults with CHD (ACHD) is rapidly growing. These patients often present with complex anatomy,..

Abstract Background There is geographic disparity in the provision of Pediatric and Congenital Heart Disease (PCHD) services; Africa accounts for only 1% of global cardiothoracic surgical capacity. Methods We conducted..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Congenital heart disease (CHD) that requires heart surgery is common. Severe postoperative pulmonary hypertension (PH) occurs in 2% of cardiac procedures and is associated with high morbidity and..

Abstract Background Current indicators for monitoring intraoperative organ function remain predominantly indirect, delayed and non-specific, particularly in paediatric populations undergoing congenital heart surgery, where multifactorial influences further complicate functional assessments. Emerging..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in the paediatric population has increased over time, with the ability to rescue pulmonary and cardiovascular deterioration. ECMO can be utilised by..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Some unrestrictive congenital shunts put patients at high risk for developing irreversible pulmonary vascular disease if not closed in the first year of life. Living at high altitude..

Abstract Objective This study sought to evaluate the value of a CO2 field-flooding device in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgical procedures for congenital heart disease (CHD) performed via a right-side small incision..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract During pediatric cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) for congenital heart disease, systemic hemodynamics dramatically change, which also causes changes in the cerebral hemodynamics. One of the representative methods..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are one of the most common congenital malformations and often require heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Children undergoing cardiac surgery with CPB are especially..
