Abstract Introduction Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication after on-pump cardiac surgery, and previous studies have suggested that blood glucose is associated with postoperative AKI. However, limited evidence..

Abstract Acute kidney injury is a common complication following cardiac surgery (CSA-AKI). Serum creatinine levels require a minimum of 24–48 h to indicate renal injury. Nevertheless, early diagnosis remains critical..

Abstract Purpose Oxygen delivery (DO2) and its monitoring are highlighted to aid postoperative goal directed therapy (GDT) to improve perioperative outcomes such as acute kidney injury (AKI) after high-risk cardiac..

Abstract Purpose: The outcomes of immunocompromised patients with cardiogenic shock treated with venoarterial extra‑corporeal membrane oxygenation (VA‑ECMO) are seldom documented, making ECMO candidacy decisions challeng‑ing. This study aims (1) to..

Abstract In critically ill patients with moderate to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) receiving invasive mechanical ventilation, prone positioning for 16 hours/day has been shown to confer significant mortality..

Abstract Dear Editor, Acute kidney injury (AKI) frequently occurs as a complication in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, with reported incidence rates ranging from 20 to 40% []. The development of..

Abstract Background: Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a noninvasive tool frequently used during cardiac surgery and postoperatively in the cardiac intensive care unit to monitor regional tissue oxygen saturation. A relationship..

Abstract Objectives Previous studies in other settings suggested that urine output (UO) might affect NephroCheck predictive value. We investigated the correlation between NephroCheck and UO in cardiac surgery patients. Design..

Abstract Background Various factors can cause vascular endothelial damage during cardiovascular surgery (CVS) with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), which has been suggested to be associated with postoperative complications. However, few studies..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background The relationship between venous congestion in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and acute kidney injury (AKI) in cardiac surgery has not utterly substantiated. This study aimed at investigate the relationship..

Abstract In unfractionated heparin (UFH) monitoring during extracorporeal circulation, the traditional measures of activated clotting time (ACT) or activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) may diverge, confounding anticoagulant adjustments. We aimed..

Abstract Background Up to 42% of patients develop acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery. The aim of this study was to describe the relationship between preoperative microcirculatory function and..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Mortality after congenital heart surgery is an important metric across benchmarking, quality, and reporting initiatives. All rely on estimates from prior years, and how well these reflect current..
