Abstract Purpose Postoperative Delirium (POD) has an incidence of up to 65% in older patients undergoing cardiac surgery. We aimed to develop two dynamic nomograms to predict the risk of..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Current adult cardiac surgery guidelines recommend against the routine use of prophylactic intravenous corticosteroids during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) due to concerns about myocardial injury, despite their potential to..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Purpose Cardiac surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is frequently complicated by excessive bleeding because of coagulopathy. Contact of blood with the CPB circuit is a major contributor. While several..
