Objective To determine the relationships between hypothermia and pH at surgery end and postoperative red blood cell (RBC) transfusion in massively transfused adult cardiac surgery patients. Design . Setting Single..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract  is associated with impairment of cardiovascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, and renal physiology with significant perioperative consequences and has been linked with higher morbidity and mortality after cardiac surgery. Cardiac surgery..

Abstract OBJECTIVES To assess the incidence and outcome of heparin-induced thrombocytopaenia (HIT) in patients after cardiac surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and to review the time course of platelet counts..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Disorders affecting red blood cells (RBCs) are uncommon yet have many important physiologic considerations for patients undergoing cardiac surgery. RBC disorders can be categorized by those that are congenital..

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 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 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..

Abstract Aims No data exists on inter-institutional differences in terms of adherence to international guidelines regarding the discontinuation of antithrombotics and rates of severe bleeding in coronary artery bypass grafting..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives:  To determine the clinical benefit of using colloids versus crystalloids for volume resuscitation in children admitted after cardiac surgery. Design:  Retrospective pre-/postintervention cohort study. Setting:  Stollery Children’s Hospital..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background: The aim of this study was to elucidate the characteristics of accuracy of subcutaneous continuous glucose monitoring (SCGM) in the perioperative period for neurosurgical and cardiac surgery patients. Methods: Forty-five..

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..

Perfusfind S.L.

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 Severe postoperative complications can affect cardiac surgery patients. Levosimendan is a novel calcium sensitizer commonly administered after cardiac surgery. However, the patient benefits are controversial. PubMed, Embase, and the..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective This study was performed to investigate the correlation among decreased regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2), blood levels of brain injury biomarkers, and postoperative cognitive disorder (POCD) after cardiac..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Purpose Historically, cardiac surgery patients have often been managed with supraphysiologic intraoperative oxygen levels to protect against the risks of cellular hypoxia inherent in the un-physiologic nature of surgery..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The “stone heart” syndrome is a rare but often fatal complication of cardiac surgery associated with hypertrophy of the myocardium. The mechanisms behind the syndrome are not fully understood...

Perfusfind S.L.

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:  Retrograde autologous priming (RAP) before cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) may minimize allogeneic red cell transfusion. We conducted a systematic review of the literature to examine the impact of RAP..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective Heparin biocompatible coating frequently is used to reduce inflammation and blood coagulation during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in cardiac surgery. Whether heparin coating is protective or damaging to the..

Abstract OBJECTIVES Surgery of thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is associated with blood loss and coagulopathy and a high need for red blood cell (RBC) volume. Retrograde autologous priming (RAP) decreases..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract This study characterizes the pharmacodynamics of antimicrobial prophylaxis and sternal wound infections following cardiac surgery. Duration of surgery and cefazolin plasma concentration during wound closure were independently associated with..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract OBJECTIVES Reports ranged from mixed to marginal tubing wear and spallation effects as a complication of roller pumps in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Because the rollers constantly compress part of..
