Read MoreEl tratamiento con CytoSorb se aplicó de forma prospectiva y se analizó de forma retrospectiva en el grupo de control, en los pacientes con sepsis de orígen pulmonar y SDRA..
Read MoreAbstract This review wants to give an overview to most of the controversial fields in the clinical therapeutic assistance in neonatal and pediatric general and cardiothoracic surgery in anaesthesia and..
Read MoreAbstract The age of (EC) in and the when transfusing long-term-stored EC are highly controversial issues. Whereas the definition of a short-term-stored EC or a long-term-stored EC is unclear in clinical trials, data..
Read MoreAbstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication after cardiopulmonary bypass, but early detection of postoperative AKI remains challenging. Protein biomarkers predict AKI excellently in homogeneous cohorts but are..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Previous work has demonstrated paradoxical increases in cerebral oxygen saturation (ScO2) as blood pressure decreases and paradoxical decreases in ScO2 as blood pressure increases. It has been suggested that..
Read MoreAbstract To facilitate venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) insertion for cardiogenic shock, we recently adopted a strategy of using a 15F arterial cannula in all patients, rather than 1 designed..
Read MoreAbstract This is a review of the University of Michigan experience with extracorporeal life support (ECLS) also known as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Two thousand patients were managed with ECMO..
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES Although antegrade selective cerebral perfusion (ASCP) provides good brain protection during aortic arch surgery, the issue of distal organ protection during circulatory arrest remains to be clarified. The..
Read MoreAbstract Diagnosis of heparin induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is not always easy, especially when a confirmatory functional test is not available. In most cases the diagnosis relies on the combination of..
Read MoreAbstract Objective: Intra-operative cell salvage (CS) was reported to be ineffective, safe and not cost-effective in low-bleeding-risk cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), but studies in high-bleeding-risk cardiac surgery are limited...
Read MoreAbstract The prediction of bleeding risk in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) patients plays a vital role in their postoperative management. Therefore, an artificial neural network (ANN) to analyze intra-operative laboratory data..
Read MoreAbstract Background The Organ Care System is the only clinical platform for ex-vivo perfusion of human donor hearts. The system preserves the donor heart in a warm beating state during..
Read MoreAbstract Heart failure has become a global epidemic. For advanced heart failure, a broad assortment of device options have been introduced for both acute and prolonged intervals of assistance. Durable implantable (VADs)..
Read MoreAbstract Antiphospholipid syndrome is an antiphospholipid antibody-mediated prothrombotic state leading to arterial and venous thrombosis. This condition alters routine in-vitro coagulation tests, making results unreliable. Antiphospholipid syndrome patients requiring cardiac..
Read MoreAbstract Background Intra‐aortic balloon pump counterpulsation (IABP) is currently the most commonly used mechanical assist device for patients with cardiogenic shock due to acute myocardial infarction. Although there has been..
Read MoreAbstract Objective Weaning from venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) usually is performed without clear guidelines; yet, patients still die after removal of extracorporeal circulation because of inadequate heart or..
Read MoreAbstract Background Microcirculatory disturbances following cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) are thought to be at the origin of organ dysfunction, although few studies have correlated microvascular alterations with outcome...
Read MoreAbstract Background Obesity is suggested to reduce postoperative bleeding in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) but perioperative hemostasis variations have not been studied. Therefore, we investigated the..
Read MoreAbstract Objective To evaluate the success and complication rates of a single center’s multidisciplinary approach to transvenous lead extraction. Setting One university hospital. Participants One hundred ninety-five patients scheduled for..
Read MoreAbstract Background Prior studies have implicated transfusion as a risk factor for mortality in coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). To further our understanding of the true association between transfusion..
Read MoreAbstract Background. Invasive Mycobacterium chimaera infections were diagnosed in 2012 in 2 heart surgery patients on extracorporeal circulation. We launched an outbreak investigation to identify the source and extent of the potential outbreak..
Read MoreAbstract Background Severe post‐operative bleeding in cardiac surgery is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. We hypothesized that variation in genetic susceptibility contributes to post‐operative bleeding in addition to clinical..
Read MoreAbstract The maintenance of an adequate oxygen supply to tissues after congenital heart surgery is essential for good outcomes. The objective of this study was to assess the usefulness of..
Read MoreAbstract Background: We designed a non-invasive, observational, real-time study, using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to assess the in vivo effects of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on patients’ skeletal muscle as well as..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose of review To provide an update of research findings regarding the protection strategies utilized for patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), including perioperative ventilatory strategies, different anesthetic regimens, and..
Read MoreCardiogenic Shock The unresolved clinical challenge. Cardiogenic shock (CS) can present in many different stages. It ranges from those at high risk of developing shock to those critically ill with..
Read MoreSmaller catheters are better for the patient, potentially reducing vascular complications. Sensation 7 Fr. is the smallest IAB catheter available today. [pdf-embedder url="https://perfusfind.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/ca_sensation_brochure_9878_rev_a_eng-en-global_compressed.pdf"]
