Abstract Background Cardiac surgery–associated acute kidney injury (CSA‐AKI) is a common complication with a poor prognosis. In order to identify modifiable perioperative risk factors for AKI, which existing risk scores are..

Abstract Background Hypoalbuminemia may increase the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI). The authors investigated whether the immediate preoperative administration of 20% albumin solution affects the incidence of AKI after..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Recently, there has been an interest in the temporal relationship between contrast exposure (CM) and cardiac surgery suggesting that a “double hit” on the kidney function in close..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background  (AKI) after  (CPB) is associated with a requirement for dialysis, a longer stay in the intensive care unit, a longer hospital length of stay, and mortality. An  arterial outlet temperature..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The field of cardiac intensive care continues to advance in tandem with congenital heart surgery. The focus of intensive care unit care has now shifted to that of morbidity..

Abstract Background:  Remote ischemic preconditioning is a simple therapy that may reduce cardiac and kidney injury. We undertook a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of this therapy on..

Abstract Objectives To determine the effect of  (AKI) associated with cardiac surgery on long-term mortality. Design Systematic review and meta-analysis of 9 observational studies extracted from the MEDLINE and EMBASE electronic..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Cardiac surgery associated acute kidney injury (CS-AKI) is common in infants and associates with negative outcomes. Nadir indexed oxygen delivery (DO 2i) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is known to contribute towards the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) and peri-operative morbidity and mortality. There are several patient, anaesthetic..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious complication after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). There are conflicting reports whether a miniaturized cardiopulmonary bypass (MCPB) system is associated with..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Levosimendan has been shown to confer direct renoprotection in renal endotoxemic and ischemia-reperfusion injury and could increase renal blood flow in patients with low-cardiac-output heart failure. Results from..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious postoperative complication following cardiac surgery. Despite the incidence of AKI requiring temporary renal replacement therapy being low, it is nonetheless associated with..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives To estimate the global incidence and outcomes of  (AKI) after cardiac surgery in adult patients. Design A systematic review and meta-analysis. Setting Cardiac surgery wards. Participants Adult patients after..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective Postoperative  is a frequent and serious consequence of cardiac surgery. We undertook to investigate the association of obesity and the risk of acute kidney injury development after cardiac surgery...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and serious complication of surgeries that include cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Currently, increases in serum creatinine levels are used to diagnose AKI,..

Abstract Objectives:  Extracorporeal lung support is currently used in the treatment of patients with severe respiratory failure until organ recovery and as a bridge to further therapeutic modalities. The aim..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication after cardiopulmonary bypass, but early detection of postoperative AKI remains challenging. Protein biomarkers predict AKI excellently in homogeneous cohorts but are..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background The effect of nitric oxide (NO) on renal function is controversial in critical illness. We performed a systematic meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis to determine the effect of..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction Genetic polymorphisms are important in explaining the wide interpatient variability that exists in the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) post cardiac surgery. We hypothesised that polymorphisms in..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Acute kidney injury is a common and serious complication after congenital heart surgery, particularly among infants. This comorbidity has been independently associated with adverse outcomes including an increase in..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background:  The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of high-dose nitroglycerine administered during cardiopulmonary bypass on the intraoperative cerebral saturation and postoperative serum creatinine concentration in..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective To determine whether a continuous  of standard amino acids could preserve kidney function after on-pump cardiac surgery. Methods Adult patients scheduled to receive cardiac surgery lasting longer than 1 hour..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background There is an increasing number of young adults living with  (CHD). The goal of this study was to ascertain the frequency of  (AKI) as well as the risk factors and..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Purpose To examine the effect of discontinuing hydroxyethyl starch (HES) solutions on length of hospital stay, transfusion, risk of death, acute kidney injury (AKI), and dialysis. Methods We conducted..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Children who undergo cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass are a unique population at high risk for postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) and fluid overload. Fluid management is important in..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a frequent and serious complication of cardiac surgery. This study was designed to establish a scoring system, calculated in the immediate postoperative period,..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Post‐operative acute kidney injury after cardiopulmonary bypass (AKI‐CPB) for cardiac surgery is a frequent complication. It may require renal replacement therapy (RRT), which is associated with an increased..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective: The aims of this study were to identify the risk factors associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) after isolated surgical revascularization with cardiopulmonary bypass and to develop a..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious complication of cardiac surgery, even when renal replacement therapy (RRT) is not required. The existing risk models for cardiac..
