Securing data management systems in perfusion: A narrative review on cybersecurity and clinical risk.

Abstract

BackgroundThe increasing digitization of perfusion practice has led to the integration of advanced data management systems (DMS) that record and analyze intraoperative variables in real time. While these systems improve accuracy, traceability, and clinical decision-making, they also expose perfusion workflows to significant cybersecurity risks. Given that perfusion data directly reflect artificial circulation, any loss of integrity or service can have immediate clinical consequences.Materials an
