Abstract Background Early detection of acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery has improved recently with the discovery and validation of novel urinary biomarkers. However, objective tools to predict the..

Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and serious complication of cardiac surgical procedures that require prolonged (>90 min) cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) (, ). Although the presence of AKI after..

Abstract Blood conservation measures to reduce perioperative blood loss during cardiac surgery have been a subject of focus in recent years. This is due in part to the high cost..

Abstract Background and objective Acute kidney injury (AKI) following cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is polyethiological clinical syndrome. During CPB haemodilution develops, which is useful in reducing the risk..

Abstract Background  Minimal invasive extracorporeal circulation (MiECC) reduces the impact of cardiopulmonary bypass during cardiac surgery on inflammation and hemostasis. Pulsatile perfusion may enhance organ perfusion and help to prevent..

Abstract Background: Fluid resuscitation is critical to perioperative maintenance of adequate preload and cardiac output after cardiac surgery. Liberal use of saline, however, is reportedly associated with an increased risk of..

Abstract OBJECTIVES The aortic arch repair in the neonatal period is a complex procedure with significant morbidity. We define a useful double-perfusion technique and its effect on the function of..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiovascular surgery is a serious complication. Little is known about the ability of novel biomarkers in combination with clinical risk scores for prediction..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is considered a recognized lifesaving support for patients with cardiorespiratory failure. Acute kidney injury (AKI) and fluid overload are significant morbidity factors resulting in serious..

Abstract Many drugs have been investigated as potentially protective of renal function after cardiac surgery. However, their comparative effectiveness has not been established. We performed an arm‐based hierarchical Bayesian network..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common after cardiac surgery and profoundly affects postoperative mortality and morbidity. There are no validated methods to assess risk of AKI intraoperatively. Methods..

Abstract Acute kidney after cardiac surgery is more common in anaemic patients, whereas haemolysis during cardiopulmonary bypass may lead to iron‐induced renal injury. Hepcidin promotes iron sequestration by macrophages: hepcidin..

ABSTRACT This study investigated the diagnostic value of urinary interleukin-18 (uIL-18) in acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in clinical practice. A total of 103 patients who underwent..

Abstract Objective As with any biomarker, interpretation of changes of  concentration must consider its variability in a specific clinical setting. The aim of this study was to calculate the reference change..

Abstract Objective Hemolysis, characterized by formation of free hemoglobin (Hb), occurs in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). However, there is no study of the dynamic changes in red blood cell..

Abstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent and serious complication of cardiac surgery, associated with a high incidence of morbidity and mortality. Although the RIFLE criteria serve as..

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is inevitable external life support in case of cardiac and respiratory failure since the 1970s. Acute kidney injury (AKI) and the requirement of renal replacement..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective Optimal oxygen management during cardiac surgery has not been established, and studies on the effects of perioperative hyperoxia on postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) are scarce. The association..

Abstract Objective Conventional ultrafiltration (CUF) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) serves to hemoconcentrate blood volume to avoid allogeneic blood transfusions. Previous studies have determined CUF volumes as a continuous variable are..

Abstract Introduction Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CS-AKI) occurs in up to 40%~60% of paediatric patients and increases postoperative morbidity and mortality. A goal-directed perfusion (GDP) strategy aimed at maintaining..
