Abstract Background Blood pressure variability (BPV), defined as the degree of variation between discrete blood pressure readings, is associated with poor outcomes in acute care settings. Acute kidney injury (AKI)..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) which can affect morbidity and mortality. Goal-directed perfusion (GDP) intended to avoid the nadir oxygen delivery..

Abstract Increased plasma concentrations of circulating cell-free hemoglobin (CFH) are supposed to contribute to the multifactorial etiology of acute kidney injury (AKI). In their recent article: “The role of cell-free..

Abstract Study objective On-pump cardiac surgery is associated with a high risk of acute kidney injury (AKI), which can substantially affect risk of mortality and morbidity depending on its severity...

Abstract Introduction Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. We investigated the..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome and acute kidney injury (AKI) treated by kidney replacement therapy may also require treatment with extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R) devices to permit..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Retrograde autologous priming (RAP) is a process used to reduce hemodilution associated with the initiation of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Previous studies have reported potential benefits to RAP; however, many..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Metabolism management plays an essential role in extracorporeal technologies. There are different metabolic management devices integrated to extracorporeal devices; the most commonly used and accepted metabolic target in adult..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background To investigate the impact of the dynamic oxygenation status on the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass. Methods This retrospective study was performed..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Gelatin has been used as a plasma volume expander because of its ability to preserve intravascular volume more effectively than crystalloids. However, gelatin may have detrimental effects on..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Erythrocyte transfusions are independently associated with acute kidney injury. Kidney injury may be consequent to the progressive hematologic changes that develop during storage. This study therefore tested the..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) frequently complicates cardiac surgery and is more common among Black patients. We evaluated determinants of race-based differences in AKI rates. Methods Serum creatinine-based criteria..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background: Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is commonly associated with acute kidney injury, and microvascular endothelial inflammation is a potential underlying mechanism. We hypothesized that pro-inflammatory components of..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Cardiopulmonary bypass is known to raise the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI). Previous studies have identified numerous risk factors of cardiopulmonary bypass including the possible impact of..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background To investigate the impact of the dynamic oxygenation status on the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass. Methods This retrospective study was performed..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background  (AKI) is common after cardiac surgery and is difficult to predict. N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is highly predictive for perioperative cardiovascular complications and may also predict renal..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with high morbidity and mortality; therefore, prevention is important. The aim of this study was to systematically assess AKI incidence after cardiac surgery..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The number of patients using critical care is increasing as our populations live longer thanks to advances in medical therapies. This is reflected by an increase in both usage..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Many patients develop acute kidney injury (AKI) after vascular surgery. In this retrospective observational study, we investigated the risk factors for AKI defined using the Kidney Disease Improving Global..
