Abstract Introduction The impact of non heparin-induced thrombocytopenia on the clinical outcomes for pediatric cardiac surgery patients who required veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane support (VA-ECMO) for failure to wean from cardiopulmonary..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract BACKGROUND  Cardiac surgery involving cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with the risk of acquired coagulopathy, including dysregulated fibrinolysis, which can result in life-threatening bleeding complications. Aprotinin, an antifibrinolytic agent,..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The currently available point-of-care hemostasis tests are burdened by criticisms concerning the use of different activators and inhibitors and the lack of dynamic flow. These operating conditions may constitute..

Abstract Background Postoperative bleeding is associated with significant resource use and is an important contributor to other major adverse events in pediatric patients undergoing complex cardiac surgical procedures. Thromboelastography (TEG;..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Platelets stored at 1–6 °C are hypothesized to be more hemostatically active than standard room temperature platelets (RTP) stored at 20–24 °C. Recent studies suggest converting RTP to cold-stored platelets..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for cardiorespiratory failure remains complicated by blood clot formation (thrombosis), triggered by biomaterial surfaces and flow conditions. Thrombosis may result in ECMO circuit..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Platelet transfusion is common in cardiac surgery, but some studies have suggested an association with harm. Accordingly, we investigated the association of perioperative platelet transfusion with morbidity and..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction Transfusion may increase the risk of organ failure through immunomodulatory effects. The primary objective of this study was to assess for patient or transfusion-related factors that are independently..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives Despite significant improvement in patient blood management, cardiac surgery remains a high hemorrhagic risk procedure. Platelet transfusion is used commonly to treat thrombocytopenia-associated perioperative bleeding. Allogeneic platelet transfusion..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is considered the choice treatment for patients suffering from coronary artery disease (CAD). In the inflammatory milieu of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), systemic inflammatory..

Abstract Introduction The point-of-care test (POCT) is useful for blood coagulation management during cardiovascular surgery. Although thromboelastography (TEG6s) has been reported to have targeted benefits for blood transfusion in cardiac..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Platelets (PLTS) and fresh frozen plasma (FFP) are often transfused in cardiac surgery patients for perioperative bleeding. Their relative effectiveness is unknown. Methods We conducted an entropy-weighted retrospective..
