Introduction Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is essential in cardiac surgery, but high-risk patients—such as pediatric, geriatric, and renal-compromised individuals—require specialized priming strategies to optimize outcomes. A one-size-fits-all approach can lead to..

Introduction Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a life-saving technology that temporarily replaces the heart and lungs during cardiac surgery. The choice of priming solution plays a crucial role in maintaining hemodynamic..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background and Objectives Neonatal cardiac surgery requires careful consideration of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) priming fluid composition due to small blood volume and immature physiology. This study investigated the impact..

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) circuit priming procedures are crucial for removing air bubbles and the albumin in priming solution is thought to create a protective layer against blood exposure..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Acute microcirculatory perfusion disturbances and organ edema are important factors leading to organ dysfunction during cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Priming of the CPB system with crystalloid..

Abstract Objectives Colloids are added to the priming solution of the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) pump to maintain colloid osmotic pressure and prevent fluid overload. This study aimed to compare the..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is frequently employed for cardiac surgery, and selecting a suitable priming fluid is a prerequisite for CPB. Currently, the commonly used priming fluids in clinics..

Abstract Background The use of crystalloid priming for extracorporeal circuit in adult cardiac surgery causes inevitable haemodilution. The haemodilution can be reduced by using methods such as retrograde autologous priming..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background The adverse effects of cardiopulmonary bypass during open cardiac surgery, including hemodilution, seem to be inevitable, especially for patients who generally have a relatively lower BMI with relatively..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction: Retrograde autologous priming (RAP) of the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuit could reduce the degree of haemodilution associated with priming with acellular solutions. However, there is no strong evidence to..

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a last resort therapy for patients with terminal respiratory failure. In the current worldwide surge of critically ill patients with novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19),..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The Priming volume of the oxygenators has been reduced by 75% during the last two decades and it is now possible to go safely on bypass with a priming..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The current practice of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) requires a preoperative priming of the circuit that is frequently performed with crystalloid solutions. Crystalloid priming avoids massive embolism but is unable..
