Autotransfusion and red cell washing of salvaged blood
Explore the evolving science and practice of autotransfusion and red cell washing of salvaged blood, with a focus on the long-standing use of normal saline as the accepted wash solution.
Oct. 28, 2026
Oxygen delivery in human beings, athletes, the critically ill, and on CPB
GDP Series #2: Learn how factors affecting DO₂ can impact patient outcomes, what happens when oxygen delivery falls below critical thresholds, and how markers such as SvO₂, VCO₂, and lactate can help clinicians assess the adequacy of perfusion.
Nov. 18, 2026
Goal directed perfusion (GDP)
GDP Series #3: Explore the evidence, research, and clinical strategies that transformed GDP into a widely adopted approach to perfusion management.
Dec. 2, 2026
AUC of DO2: A new look at oxygen delivery in the real–time data era
Explore Area Under the Curve (AUC) of DO₂, a methodology that considers both the depth and duration of oxygen delivery deficits, providing a more comprehensive view of a patient's perfusion status.
Dec. 9, 2026
Optimizing outcomes: Integrating perfusion into patient blood management
Patient Blood Management focuses on preserving a patient's own blood, minimizing unnecessary transfusions and supporting improved outcomes. The perfusionist is uniquely positioned to influence many of the factors that contribute to transfusion exposure during surgery.
Dec. 16, 2026
How to deal with difficulties in managing GDP
GDP Series #4: Explore patients who present unique challenges to maintaining adequate oxygen delivery, including small-bodied, anemic patients with limited physiologic reserve.
