Abstract Background Pulsatile perfusion is a developing technique that attempts to mimic the natural pulsatile flow of blood during cardiopulmonary bypass (CBP). Purpose This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The development of multi-organ failure resulting from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is acknowledged as a significant contributor to increased morbidity and mortality rates during the postoperative period. This report discusses..

Abstract Electrocardiogram (ECG)—synchronized pulsatile veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) is a recent development in extracorporeal therapy for patients with severe cardiogenic shock. Although preclinical studies have shown benefits of..

Perfusfind S.L.

Introduction Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has been the cornerstone of modern cardiac surgery, allowing for safe cardiac arrest while maintaining systemic perfusion. However, the debate between pulsatile and non-pulsatile flow during..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is a modality of extracorporeal life support which allows temporary support in cases of cardiopulmonary failure and cardiogenic shock. This study presents a valveless pump..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background The role of pulsatile versus non-pulsatile flow during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is still in debate. This systematic review aimed to comprehensively assess the impact of pulsatile versus non-pulsatile..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background The study objective was to determine the impact of cardiopulmonary bypass perfusion modalities on cerebral hemodynamics and clinical outcomes in congenital cardiac surgery patients stratified by acyanotic versus..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction Over the past 20 years, the Pediatric Cardiovascular Department at Penn State Health Children's Hospital and College of Medicine has been researching ways to improve the safety and..

Abstract Objective:   We aimed to evaluate the effects of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) machines used in coronary artery bypass grafting surgeries on cerebral perfusion by performing cerebral oximetry monitoring [near-infrared..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The physiologic impact of pulsatile flow (PF) on end-organ perfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is controversial. Using an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) to maintain PF during CPB for patients..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The utilization of temporary mechanical circulatory support (tMCS) has increased significantly over the last 40 years for stabilization of salvageable patients; however, there has not been much improvement in..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective The objective of this retrospective review was to evaluate whether or not pulsatile flow improves cerebral hemodynamics and clinical outcomes in pediatric congenital cardiac surgery patients. Methods This..

Abstract Selective vascular access to the brain is desirable in metabolic tracer, pharmacological and other studies aimed to characterize neural properties in isolation from somatic influences from chest, abdomen or..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Over a million cardiac operations are performed annually. Most surgeries use cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) to operate on a non-beating heart in a bloodless environment while maintaining systemic perfusion and..

Abstract Refractory cardiogenic shock is increasingly being treated with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO), without definitive proof of improved clinical outcomes. Recently, pulsatile V-A ECMO has been developed to address some of the..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background: The role of pulsatile (PP) versus non-pulsatile (NP) flow during a cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is still debated. This study’s aim was to analyze hemodynamic effects, endothelial reactivity and erythrocytes..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background The present study aims to compare regional oxygen supply determined by Near-Infrared Spectroscopy in the course of pulsatile perfusion with non-pulsatile perfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass in patients undergoing..
