The “Easy Flow Cardiopulmonary Bypass Simulation Model” offers a cost-effective, innovative approach to perfusion training using standard CPB equipment found in operating rooms. Unique
A new technique for accessing the mitral valve via the left anterior minithoracotomy has been developed for patients requiring both mitral valve surgery and
This study evaluates the FUWAI-SAVE system, a modified low-priming cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) system, in reducing perioperative blood transfusions in adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery
The shortage of suitable lung donors remains a significant challenge in lung transplantation. While brain-death donors (DBD) currently provide most lung allografts, only 20%
On May 8, 2024, the FDA warned healthcare providers about ongoing safety concerns with Getinge/Maquet cardiovascular devices, specifically the Cardiosave Hybrid and Rescue IABP
This study compares inflammatory cytokine levels and blood transfusion rates in pediatric patients undergoing congenital heart surgeries using miniaturized or conventional extracorporeal circuits. Results
This study evaluates a modified intraventricular balloon method for functional assessment of hearts from donation after circulatory death. By using a saline-filled balloon in
This study investigates the effect of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time on postoperative Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores. The analysis of data from 1,032
**An Ode to Perfusionists** In the heart of the hospital, where the beat never stops, Perfusionists reign, on them no one tops. With valves
This study evaluates nosocomial infections in pediatric patients post-cardiac surgery, analyzing data from the National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases in China. Out of 4776
This study investigates the effects of dexmedetomidine (Dex) pretreatment in patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement under cardiopulmonary bypass. In the Dex group, the time
This study explores the efficacy of intraoperative Goal-Directed Perfusion (GDP) in reducing postoperative complications, ICU, and hospital stay durations in cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary
