Abstract Introduction Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) often induces systemic inflammatory reaction syndrome (SIRS), affecting postoperative outcome. We aimed to explore adaptive/maladaptive inflammation using unsupervised machine learning. Methods We..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Cardiopulmonary bypass serves as a cornerstone in cardiac surgery, enabling life-sustaining circulatory and respiratory support during complex procedures that necessitate the temporary cessation of cardiac activity. This intricate process..
