Abstract 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..

Abstract Background Low oxygen delivery (DO2) on cardiopulmonary bypass has been associated with acute kidney injury. We sought to determine the association of intraoperative DO2, postoperative length of stay, and..

Abstract Background: The incidence of hyperlactatemia due to hypoperfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) increases morbidity. Carbon dioxide production during CPB is one of the lactate production markers, in addition to..

Abstract Background Reduced oxygen delivery (DO2) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) was proposed as a risk factor for the development of postoperative neurological complications (PONCs), including cerebrovascular accidents (CVA), delirium, and..

Abstract Introduction Evidence supports the role of oxygen delivery (DO2) in ameliorating acute kidney injury (AKI). While instrumentation for continuous DO2 measurement exists, a simplified method has been reported for targeting..

Abstract Introduction: Nowadays, many cardiac surgery teams are adopting the goal-directed perfusion (GDP) strategy in their practice to maintain optimal perfusion during cardiac surgeries and improve patient outcomes. Furthermore, it plays..

Abstract Background Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) in cardiac surgery patients is multifactorial and associated with low oxygen delivery (DO2) during cardiopulmonary bypass. Methods Cardiac surgical patients undergoing full cardiopulmonary..

Abstract Background: CO2-derived parameters are increasingly used to identify either low-flow status or anaerobic metabolism in shock resuscitation. However, the performance of CO2-derived parameters in cardiac surgical patients is poorly understood...

This program explores the factors that influence oxygen delivery to the tissues. This program examines the "art" of perfusion and how the perfusionist uses available data and techniques to provide..

Abstract BACKGROUND: Blood transfusion is used to treat acute anemia with the goal of increasing blood oxygen-carrying capacity as determined by hematocrit (Hct) and oxygen delivery (DO2). However, increasing Hct..
