Abstract IMPORTANCE:  Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery is associated with changes in the intestinal microbiome. Metabolism of tryptophan into the indole pathway is entirely facilitated by the intestinal microbiome, and indole..

Abstract Introduction Despite technological advances, the use of homologous blood to prime the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuits of infants under 10 kg remains common. However, such rapid massive transfusion may increase..

Abstract Background During cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), maintaining adequate oxygen consumption (VO2i) can only be achieved indirectly either by modifying oxygen delivery (DO2i) through its component parts or by modulating metabolic demand..

Abstract Background: A standard blood prime for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in congenital cardiac surgery may possess non-physiologic values for electrolytes, glucose, and lactate. Pre-bypass Ultrafiltration (PBUF) can make these values..

Abstract Importance Phthalate chemicals are used to manufacture disposable plastic medical products, including blood storage bags and components of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuits. During cardiac surgery, patients can be inadvertently exposed..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Cardiopulmonary bypass is an integral and indispensable part of surgical repair of congenital heart defects. While the complications and morbidity secondary to the use of cardiopulmonary bypass has decreased..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction A basic prerequisite for a good surgical outcome in heart surgery is optimal myocardial protection. However, cardioplegia strategies used in adult cardiac surgery are not directly transferable to..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract BACKGROUND:  Bleeding is a serious complication after pediatric cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) that is associated with an increase in perioperative morbidity and mortality. Four-factor prothrombin complex concentrates (4F-PCCs) have been..
