To construct a perfusion database in Japan by modifying the input parameters of the adult perfusion registry of the International Consortium for Evidence-based Perfusion (ICEBP) to suit the present status of Japan, we surveyed basic information on perfusion using a questionnaire consisting of 108 questions (basic survey items and items regarding the practice of perfusion) in 557 institutions to which regular members of the Japanese Society of Extra-Corporeal Technology in Medicine (JaSECT) were affiliated.
The questionnaire recovery rate was 48%. Access to the Internet was possible in 87% of the responder institutions. As applications for data processing, 81% possessed MS-Excel, and 51% possessed FileMaker. Concerning circuits, handwriting was used for perfusion recording for 53% of circuits, and selective cerebral perfusion was used for 35%. A crystalloid priming solution was used for 87%.
The number of perfusion cases in these institutions accounted for 74% of that of registered cases during this year in the Japan Adult Cardiovascular Surgery Database (JACVSD). If all institutions where JaSECT members work participate in the perfusion case registration project, the number of registered cases will steadily increase, and a sufficient statistical power will be achieved early.
This survey suggested that the database parameters used by the ICEBP can be used commonly in Japan. In addition, based on the results of the open heart surgery cases in Japan, almost equal numbers of perfusion cases of coronary heart diseases, those of valve disease, and those of aortic diseases can be registered, which allows globally valuable characteristic epidemiological evaluation.
