Abstract Objectives: The difference between mean arterial pressure (MAP) before cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and mean perfusion pressure (MPP) during CPB is thought to be a strong predictor of acute kidney injury..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and serious complication of cardiac surgery, often linked to the use and duration of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The Hemolysis Index (HI)..
Read MoreAbstract Background Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a life-saving treatment, but carries a high risk of complications such as acute kidney injury (AKI). A contributor to AKI is hemolysis, which..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is a frequent and important complication often attributed to decreased kidney blood flow. Ultrasound measurement of renal has been associated with adverse cardiac..
Read MoreAbstract Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is a common complication following cardiac surgery. Despite growing awareness of sexual dimorphism in cardiovascular and chronic kidney disease, little is known about..
Read MoreAbstract Background Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is a notably common complication in pediatrics, with an incidence rate ranging from 15 to 64%. This rate is significantly higher than..
Read MoreBlood transfusion and acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery: a retrospective observational study
Abstract Purpose Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (AKI) is linked to poor outcomes. An observational study from Copenhagen, Denmark identified perioperative red blood cell (RBC) transfusion as a modifiable risk..
Read MoreAbstract Background Hyperlactatemia and acute kidney injury (AKI) represent significant perioperative complications in cardiac surgery. This study investigated their relationship by analyzing multiple lactate parameters during on-pump cardiac procedures. Methods..
Read MoreAbstract The emergence of large language models (LLMs) opens new horizons to leverage, often unused, information in clinical text. Our study aims to capitalise on this new potential. Specifically, we..
Read MoreAbstract 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)..
Read MoreAbstract 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..
Read MoreAbstract 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..
Read MoreAbstract Importance Acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery is a common and serious complication. Protein loading appears nephroprotective; thus, continuous hyperoncotic albumin infusion may impact AKI following high-risk cardiac surgery...
Read MoreAbstract OBJECTIVES Acute kidney injury commonly complicates congenital heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, increasing morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to evaluate risk factors for postoperative acute kidney injury and..
Read MoreAbstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent and severe problem following heart surgery, particularly in procedures involving cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). This research investigates the Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) on..
Read MoreAbstract 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..
Read MoreAbstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in children with congenital heart disease following open-heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Early AKI detection in critically ill children requires clinician..
Read MoreAbstract Introduction Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common postoperative complication in cardiac surgery, with varying reported incidences and prognostic factors. Renal hypoperfusion is believed to be a key..
Read MoreAbstract Background The nadir oxygen delivery index (DO2i) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is reportedly associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. However, there are few reports..
Read MoreAbstract BACKGROUND: Prior studies identified thresholds for mean arterial pressure (MAP <65 mm Hg) and central venous pressure (CVP >12 mm Hg) beyond which risk for cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney..
Read MoreAbstract Background Current indicators for monitoring intraoperative organ function remain predominantly indirect, delayed and non-specific, particularly in paediatric populations undergoing congenital heart surgery, where multifactorial influences further complicate functional assessments. Emerging..
Read MoreAbstract Objective Acute kidney injury (AKI) affects approximately 30% of patients undergoing cardiac surgery with conventional non-pulsatile cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Pulsatile flow has long been proposed for mitigating this complication...
Read MoreAbstract Purpose Cardiac surgery associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is a frequent and severe complication. Goal Directed Perfusion (GDP) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has been developed to reduce post-operative complications,..
Read MoreAbstract Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a common complication after cardiac surgery affecting up to 40% leading to increased morbidity and mortality. To date, there is no specific treatment for..
Read MoreAbstract The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation has been increasing over time, in part due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Whilst lifesaving, complications that must be managed are also associated with..
Read MoreAbstract Background: Postoperative Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a significant concern for cardiac surgery patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Effective pharmacological interventions to mitigate these risks are urgently needed...
Read MoreAbstract Objectives To study the association between bleeding and acute kidney injury (AKI). Design Post-hoc study of a randomized trial of 4% albumin versus Ringer's acetate for cardiopulmonary bypass priming..
Read MoreAbstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a complex clinical syndrome with a spectrum of clinical manifestations and outcomes (1); characterized by the deterioration of renal function over a period of..
Read MoreAbstract Background Although goal-directed perfusion (GDP) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has been discussed extensively in adult studies, no pediatric indexed oxygen delivery (Do2i) thresholds are universally accepted, and no pediatric..
