Perfusion education and training in Europe anno 2023
Conclusion: There have been several national and supranational initiatives towards the recognition of perfusion as a profession in Europe, however so far without success for the majority of countries. For this reason, it remains essential for EBCP, as the only European professional perfusionist body, to define education standards and competencies for perfusionists and to monitor training by accreditation of dedicated perfusion schools across Europe.PMID:38411111 | DOI:10.1177/02676591241233971 (Source: Perfusion)

The effects of prone position ventilation on patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome after cardiac surgery
CONCLUSIONS: Taken together, prone position ventilation in patients with ARDS after cardiac surgery improved blood gas indexes, hypoxemia, and respiratory mechanics indexes, as well as reduced the incidence of atelectasis.PMID:38411443 | DOI:10.1177/02676591241228972 (Source: Perfusion)

Assessment of a goal-directed perfusion strategy through an oxygen delivery audit
CONCLUSION: The implementation of the GDP strategy demonstrated an enhancement in oxygen delivery during cardiopulmonary bypass, primarily attributable to elevated pump flow rates. A statistically significant decrease in serum creatinine levels was observed. The published reference table emerged as a simple yet effective tool in optimising our GDP strategy.PMID:38409657 | DOI:10.1177/02676591241236630 (Source: Perfusion)

Negative pressure therapy for ECMO cannula stabilization
Perfusion. 2024 Feb 24:2676591241236640. doi: 10.1177/02676591241236640. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCannula stabilization for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is important for patient mobilization and rehabilitation. Limitations to mobilization on ECMO include staff discomfort and cannula instability. We utilized the technique of negative pressure therapy for ECMO cannula stabilization to improve mobilization. Negative pressure therapy for ECMO cannula stabilization can be utilized safely for a variety of cannulation sites in any patient age from newborns to adults.

Thromboelastography versus thromboelastometry for unfractionated heparin monitoring in adult patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
Conclusion: INTEM CT tended to be less sensitive to lower doses of UFH with a value of 1.2 times higher than the normal range when aPTT and/or TEG were considered therapeutic. Due to the relative insensitivity of ROTEM, our institution decided to continue to use TEG instead of ROTEM. Larger, multicenter trials may be helpful to validate these findings.PMID:38379295 | DOI:10.1177/02676591241232513 (Source: Perfusion)
