Abstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent and severe complication following cardiac surgery, particularly in patients with impaired kidney function. The existing Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO)..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background:  Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with impaired renal oxygenation and acute kidney injury. We investigated whether a higher than our standard blood flow during CPB..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) and dysnatremia following pediatric cardiac surgery are common conditions associated with worse outcomes. While the multifactorial etiology of AKI is well-known, the role of..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract OBJECTIVES In cardiac surgery patients, acute kidney injury (AKI) frequently occurs in the setting of haemodynamic instability and treatment with temporary mechanical circulatory support (tMCS). Recent evidence suggests amino..

Abstract Introduction Patient blood management (PBM), an evidence-based, patient-centred approach for optimising blood health, faces significant implementation challenges despite regulatory support, and this study explores its adoption within a Portuguese hospital..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) usually occurs after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and threatens life without timely intervention. Early assessment and prevention are critical for saving AKI patients. However, numerical..
