Abstract Background The presence of dextran sulfate (DS) in reagents and the type of blood collection tube (citrate/citrated-theophylline-adenosine-dipyridamole [CTAD]) can lead to discrepancies between unfractionated heparin (UFH) anti-Xa levels. Objectives ..

Abstract BACKGROUND:  Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with hemolysis. Yet, there is no easily available and frequently measured marker to monitor this hemolysis. However, carboxyhemoglobin (CO-Hb), formed..

Abstract Introduction: Intraoperative ultrafiltration (UF) is a procedure used during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) to reduce haemodilution and prevent excessive blood transfusion. However, the effect of UF volume on acute kidney injury..

Abstract Background Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is considered the choice treatment for patients suffering from coronary artery disease (CAD). In the inflammatory milieu of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), systemic inflammatory..

Abstract Background During cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), maintaining adequate oxygen consumption (VO2i) can only be achieved indirectly either by modifying oxygen delivery (DO2i) through its component parts or by modulating metabolic demand..

Abstract Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CBP) is essential for different cardiac procedures in order to perform surgery with a clear sight field. To safely perform surgery with CPB and..

Abstract Background This study investigated whether intraoperative blood salvage was associated with coagulation disorder diagnosed by conventional coagulation tests and thromboelastography (TEG) after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Study design and methods..

Abstract Background During cardiac surgery, transcranial Doppler (TCD) represents a non-invasive modality that allows measurement of red blood cell flow velocities in the cerebral arteries. TCD can also be used..

Abstract Background The relationship between hyperlactatemia and prognosis after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is controversial, and some studies ignore the presence of lactic acidosis in patients with severe hyperlactacemia. This study..

Abstract Introduction Vacuum assisted venous drainage (VAVD) is widely adopted in minimally invasive cardiac surgery. VAVD enables the advantage of using smaller cannulae in a reduced surgical field while allowing..

Abstract Background Bleeding after cardiac surgery is common and continues to require 10–20% of the national blood supply. Transfusion of allogeneic blood is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Excessive..

Abstract Background The utilization of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) for intraoperative support during lung transplantation has increased over the past decade. Although veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) has recently emerged..

Abstract Ensuring adequate anticoagulation for patients requiring cardiac surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is important due to the adverse consequences of inadequate anticoagulation with respect to bleeding and thrombosis. When..

Abstract OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of electroacupuncture (EA) intervention on myocardial protection and postoperative rehabilitation in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). METHODS: Eight databases, including PubMed,..

Abstract Purpose: Red-colored urine often occurs in patients in the perioperative period who undergo cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). This urine color change has been utilized for approximating hemolysis..

Abstract Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and serious complication after the repair of Type A acute aortic dissection (TA-AAD). However, previous models have failed to account for the..

Abstract Background: Early detection of acute kidney injury (AKI) is crucial for timely intervention and improved patient outcomes after cardiac surgery. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of urinary..
