Read MoreAbstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication following cardiac surgery involving cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). This is partly attributable to crystalloid-based priming solutions causing both hemolysis and loss..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives Maintaining a nadir oxygen delivery ≥ 280 mL/min/m2 during cardiopulmonary bypass is a pillar of the goal-directed perfusion strategy in cardiac surgery. However, there are patients who develop a..
Read MoreAbstract Background Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is one of the most frequent and severe complications after cardiac surgery. The association between acute kidney injury and the mismatch between..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives Early prediction is crucial for cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI). We aimed to develop and validate a simple, clinical- and laboratory-based risk score system for better CSA-AKI..
Read MoreAbstract Purpose: Dexmedetomidine, an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist, has shown potential benefits in various surgical settings, but its impact on microcirculation and renal function in cardiac surgery patients remains unclear. Patients and..
Read MoreAbstract Objectives Oxygen delivery (DO2) is a pivotal factor in maintaining adequate tissue protection during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Despite its clinical significance, there is currently no global consensus regarding standardized..
Read MoreAbstract Objective To determine the relationship between intraoperative decreased renal and cerebral oxygen saturation, as measured using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), and cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) in adults. Methods..
Read MoreAbstract 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..
