Read MoreAbstract Arterial cannulation for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is an important determinant of outcome in aortic surgery. Unlike traditional cardiac operations, aortic pathology may preclude the cannulation of the distal ascending..

Read MoreAbstract During refractory cardiogenic shock and cardiac arrest, veno‑arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA‑ECMO) is used to restore a circulatory output. However, it also impacts significantly arterial oxygenation. Recentguidelines of the..
Read MoreAbstract Over the past 10 years, there has been an increase in the use of high-fidelity simulation (HFS) as a tool to support and enhance learning in health profession programs. In..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Intraoperative cell salvage is an established method to reduce the requirement for and the volume of allogenic blood transfusion but adds to the financial cost of performing surgery...
Read MoreAbstract Background: During Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB) gaseous micro-emboli (GMEs) decrease the quality of the blood flow and the capillary oxygen delivery, increasing the incidence of postoperative neurocognitive disorders (POCD) following cardiac..
Read MoreAbstract Hematological malignancies (HM) have been, until recently, viewed as contraindications to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) due to bleeding and infectious complications. However, conflicting literature regarding whether ECMO should be..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Left ventricular distension is a major concern with postcardiotomy veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) supporting a critical heart failure after cardiac surgery. This porcine study evaluates the effects..
Read MoreAbstract Oxygen is picked up in the lungs, carried by the blood, and delivered to tissues where it serves as the terminal electron acceptor during oxidative phosphorylation. During health, oxygen..
Read MoreExtraction of infected TAVI valve in patient with previous CABG and previous TAVI and VIV by colleagues Dr.Sam Zeraatiannejaddavani attending professor of IUMS and dean of faculty of transplantation and..
Read MoreAbstract Surgical decannulation for venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is recommended as a standard weaning strategy considering large-sized cannulas (14-22 French) are inserted in VA-ECMO. However, we should be aware..
Read MoreThis case reports on a 61-year-old male, who was assessed by cardiac surgery in consideration for mitral valve surgery following presentation for congestive heart failure. [pdf-embedder url="https://perfusfind.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/CoW_30_2022_E_web_compressed.pdf"]

Read MoreECMO as a bridge to lung transplantation: enabling life in the face of death This webinar will be hosted on July 13 2023 from 18:00 - 19:00 CEST.If you are..
Read MoreAbstract El síndrome de dificultad respiratoria del adulto (SDRA) por el virus SARS-CoV-2 tiene una alta morbi-mortalidad secundaria al severo compromiso pulmonar sumado a una respuesta inmune disregulada, causal de..
Read MoreAbstract In this study, we have evaluated and examined various nursing effects of improved administration of protamine sulfate neutralizing heparin after cardiopulmonary bypass. For this purpose, retrospective analysis was made..
Read MoreAbstract Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is indicated in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome and severely impaired gas exchange despite evidence-based lung protective ventilation, prone positioning and other parts of..
Read MoreAbstract Hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA) is an essential procedure during aortic surgery to protect organs; however, hypothermia is believed to cause coagulopathy, which is a major fatal complication. This study..
Read MoreAbstract Importance In cardiac surgery, albumin solution may maintain hemodynamics better than crystalloids and reduce the decrease in platelet count and excessive fluid balance, but randomized trials are needed to compare..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction The superiority of pulsatile or non-pulsatile perfusion in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) regarding morbidity and mortality is still debated. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the effect of different pulse..
Read MoreAbstract Indicative of various pathologies, blood properties are under intense scrutiny. The hemorheological characteristics are traditionally gauged by bulk, low-frequency indicators that average out critical information about the complex, multi-scale,..
Read MoreAbstract Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is associated with significant mortality. Provision of high-quality end-of-life (EOL) care for patients supported on ECMO entails specific physiological, pharmacological, and technical considerations. Limited guidance..
Read MoreAbstract Hemodynamic instability is frequently present in critically ill patients, primarily caused by a decreased preload, contractility, and/or afterload. We hypothesized that peripheral arterial blood pressure waveforms allow to differentiate..
Read MoreAbstract Background: The optimal monitoring strategy for anticoagulation management in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) remains a clinical controversy. The Extracorporeal Life Support Organization Anticoagulation Guidelines suggest that multiple anticoagulation assays..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction: Despite advances in surgical, anesthetic, perfusion, and postoperative care, adverse neurological consequences may occur following cardiac surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Consequences of the physiologic effects of CPB may..
