He'll trace its roots—ischemia's setup, reperfusion's chaos of inflammation and cell death—and its RV toll. I'll tell of a case where cardioplegia wasn't enough, but smart moves won out. We'll cover controlled reperfusion, leukocyte filters, and medications such as adenosine, as well as new concepts like preconditioning. Perfusionists, surgeons, researchers—this is your playbook to dodge the paradox—master safe reperfusion with Patel and my 40-year lens.

Send us a textThe simple ice pack - a staple in both human and veterinary medicine for reducing pain and swelling. But what if this common therapy has unexpected consequences for healing? Soft tissue surgeon Dr. Vanna Dickerson and veterinary student Gabriella Hansen join us to discuss their fascinating research on how ice packs affect blood flow in canine skin.For years, surgeons have cautioned against using ice after delicate skin procedures like flaps and grafts, believing it might compromise blood flow. However, this advice lacked scientific backing until now. Through precise measurements using laser speckle contrast imaging, Dr. Dickerson and Hansen discovered that ice application reduces skin perfusion by 10-15% compared to baseline - and surprisingly, in some dogs, blood flow remained decreased even 15 minutes after the ice was removed.This groundbreaking work confirms what many surgeons suspected but couldn't prove, giving veterinarians evidence-based guidance for post-operative care decisions. Dr. Dickerson and Hansen emphasize that ice remains valuable for pain control in most situations, but surgeons should exercise caution in cases where even small perfusion decreases could jeopardize healing. For pet owners, understanding these nuances helps explain why your veterinarian might specifically recommend for or against icing in different scenarios.Beyond the clinical findings, Dr. Dickerson and Hansen offer valuable insights for veterinary students interested in research, encouraging them to find mentors and emphasizing that meaningful studies don't require complex laboratory setups. Their work exemplifies how asking simple questions about everyday practices can lead to significant improvements in patient care. Listen now to discover how this common therapy affects your pet's healing and what questions still remain for future investigation.AJVR article: https://doi.org/10.2460/ajvr.25.01.0023INTERESTED IN SUBMITTING YOUR MANUSCRIPT TO JAVMA ® OR AJVR ® ?

Stand Your Ground - Raging Fireside Chat Presenter: J. Basha, CCP, Open to Audience After two days of transplant deep dives, J. Basha, CCP, hosts a two-hour open chat to wrestle with the big issues—and you're the spark. This is no passive wrap-up. Bring your takes on NRP ethics, OCS costs, or organ shortages. I'll share 40 years of perfusion fights, like pushing for innovation when tradition stalled. We'll spar over opt-out systems, machine perfusion's price tag, and allocation fairness. It's a chance to challenge, learn, and grow—perfusionists, coordinators, and anyone. Join the fireside fray to ignite real change.

Mastering NRP for Organ Donation Success NRP is rewriting organ donation rules, and Matt Warhoover, CCP, takes you inside this bold frontier over a two-hour session. Using ECMO or bypass, NRP restarts circulation after circulatory death to recover organs in situ. Warhoover will cover cannulation, perfusion, and the ethics of this gray zone. I'll weigh in on its promise—like turning DCD into multi-organ wins—and its hurdles. You'll compare it to standard methods and see its impact on the donor pool. Perfusionists will find new turf here; transplant pros will grasp its potential. Dive in to shape the future of donation.

Dr. Iyad Alnahhas interviews Dr. Peter LaViolette about his and his team's recent manuscript entitled: "Multi-Site Retrospective Analysis of Diffusion and Perfusion MRI Correlates to Glioma Characteristics Derived from Radio-Pathomic Maps", published online in Neuro-Oncology in February 2025.

Organ Availability for Transplant in the U.S. Presenter: S. Patel, MD Time: 10:00–11:00 Transplantation saves lives, but the organ shortage is a brutal bottleneck. Dr. S. Patel digs into this crisis, where over 100,000 wait and too many don't make it. He'll lay out the stats, policies, and ethics—why donor rates lag and who gets priority. I'll add my OR view: the highs of a transplant win, the lows when organs don't come. Dr. Patel will spotlight solutions like opt-out donation and perfusion's role in preservation. For perfusionists, this ties to our work; for healthcare pros, it's the big picture. Join us to see how we can close the gap—one organ, one patient at a time. Organ Procurement Techniques Presenter: S. Patel, MD Time: 11:00–12:00 Organ procurement is a high-wire act—surgery, timing, and teamwork in a race against ischemia. Dr. S. Patel unveils the process from donor consent to preservation. He'll detail organ-specific needs—kidneys versus hearts, livers needing extra care—and preservation tricks like cooling and solutions. I'll share a near-miss when a delayed flight tested our heart transport skills. You'll get the latest on machine perfusion, too. Perfusionists will prize this; surgeons and coordinators will sync better with it. This session arms you to keep organs viable for their next life. OCS (Organ Care System) Presenter: J. Basha, CCP Time: 12:00–13:00 The Organ Care System (OCS) is a transplant revolution, and J. Basha, CCP, shows why it's a game-changer I've seen work wonders. Unlike cold storage, OCS perfuses organs with warm, oxygenated blood, extending viability. Basha will explain its use for hearts, lungs, and livers, and how it rescues borderline organs. I'll recount an OCS save—a distant heart that beat strong thanks to this tech. Learn setup, monitoring, and troubleshooting to cut ischemic damage. Perfusionists will level up; transplant teams will broaden their reach. See why OCS is the future and how to wield it.

Stand Your Ground in the Raging Inferno Presenter: J. Basha, CCP, Open to Audience Participation  After two packed days, we tie it together in a fiery roundtable led by J. Basha, CCP. This isn't a sit-back session—it's a gloves-off discussion of PerfWeb 100's topics, and you're in the ring. Basha will steer us through RAPP, Hgb thresholds, ultrafiltration, and fluid balance, but your questions and challenges fuel the fire. I'll toss in tales from 40 years, like when I stood firm against a crystalloid-happy surgeon. We'll debate: Is there a perfect Hgb cutoff? When is ultrafiltration too much? It's a chance to learn from peers, experts, and your grit. Students and pros alike will sharpen their edge here. Jump into the inferno—let's forge stronger practices together.

Benefits of Ultrafiltration Presenter: J. Basha, CCP Ultrafiltration hit perfusion like a lifeline, giving us control over fluid overload when diuretics alone wouldn't cut it. J. Basha, CCP, leads this session to show why it's a cornerstone of my practice after 40 years. Basha will break down how ultrafiltration strips out excess water and solutes via semi-permeable membranes, while keeping proteins and cells intact. It's not just fluid removal—it's precision, reducing edema and even inflammatory markers. I'll recall a heart failure case where ultrafiltration got us off bypass when the odds were grim. You'll learn the types (conventional, modified, zero-balance), how to weave it into your circuit, and how to dodge pitfalls like hypotension. Perfusionists will find this essential; OR teams will see its teamwork value. Join us to harness ultrafiltration's power for better outcomes. Assessment of Patient Fluid Balance and Status Presenters: S. Patel, MD, J. Basha, CCP Fluid balance is perfusion's quiet MVP—nail it, and the case flows; botch it, and you're in chaos. Dr. S. Patel and J. Basha team up to decode this critical skill over a two-hour deep dive. They'll cover the tools—CVP, PA pressures, TEE, bioimpedance—and how to read them amid bypass's wild fluid shifts. I'll share my go-to signs, like venous oxygen saturation shifts, that scream trouble early. Expect actionable strategies: pre-op prep, intra-op tweaks, and post-op stability, with tips like using albumin for oncotic pressure. This is for perfusionists, anesthesiologists, and surgeons—it's a team effort.

RAPP (Retrograde Autologous Prime) Presenter: Samir Patel, MD, Graduate Perfusionist Time: 14:00–15:00 Back when I started in perfusion, priming the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit meant dumping in crystalloid and hoping the patient wouldn't drown in fluid overload. Then RAPP—Retrograde Autologous Prime—came along and flipped the script. In this session, Dr. Samir Patel, a skilled graduate perfusionist, dives into this game-changing technique that uses the patient's own blood to prime the circuit, slashing hemodilution and preserving hematocrit. Dr. Patel will walk you through the nuts and bolts: draining venous blood, displacing crystalloid, and reinfusing—all while keeping the patient stable. I'll share a standout case where RAPP saved the day for a Jehovah's Witness patient who refused transfusions—proof of its worth. You'll master cannula placement, pressure control, and timing, plus learn how RAPP cuts transfusion rates and post-op complications. Whether you're a newbie or a veteran, this lecture will sharpen your skills and show why RAPP's a must-have in my toolkit Hgb Thresholds Presenter: Samir Patel, MD, Graduate Perfusionist Time: 15:00–16:00 Hemoglobin thresholds have sparked debates for decades. Early in my career, an Hgb below 10 meant grabbing a blood bag—no questions asked. Today, we're wiser, and the evidence is richer. Dr. Samir Patel tackles this in a session that's all about balancing oxygen delivery with transfusion risks. He'll unpack the science of Hgb levels and tissue perfusion, diving into trials and guidelines that shape when we pull the transfusion trigger. I'll throw in a story of a mid-case Hgb drop to 7, where split-second decisions tested our team. We'll cover special cases—kids, the elderly, complex patients—and the risks of over- or under-transfusing. This is vital for perfusionists, surgeons, and ICU crews who live these choices daily. Walk away with a sharper eye for Hgb management, backed by Dr. Patel's expertise and my decades of real-time lessons.
