Abstract Background:  Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is a common complication and is associated with the poorest outcomes. Therefore, early prediction of CSA-AKI remains a major issue. Severity scores..

Abstract This retrospective, observational study compared the impact of a point-of-care rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM®) method versus conventional bleeding management in terms of postoperative (24-h) blood loss, intraoperative and postoperative (24-h)..

Abstract Objectives Prolonged  after cardiac surgery imposes a significant burden on the patient in terms of morbidity as well as a financial burden on the hospital. We undertook a retrospective analysis..

Abstract Background: Sonoclot is used to measure kaolin-based activated clotting time (kACT) for heparin management. Apart from measuring kACT, the device assesses the patient’s coagulation status by glass bead–activated tests..

Abstract OBJECTIVES:  There is little evidence to guide fluid administration to patients admitted to the ICU following cardiac surgery. This study aimed to determine if a protocolized strategy known to..

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: Cardiopulmonary bypass during cardiac surgery is associated with metabolic changes after operation and results inter alia in increased levels of lactate and bilirubin. Since prediction of the course..

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..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Obesity is a frequent comorbidity among patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Cardiac surgery with CPB impairs microcirculatory perfusion, which is associated with multiple organ failure. As..
