Abstract OBJECTIVES Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common consequence of surgical repair of the thoraco-abdominal aorta (TAA). Perfusion techniques aim to facilitate renal protection through oxygenation or hypothermia. This..

Abstract Critically ill patients that require kidney replacement therapy (KRT) are among the most ill and complex patients routinely encountered in the intensive care unit (ICU). Continuous KRT (CKRT) is..

Abstract The architecture of the kidney vasculature is essential for its function. Although structural profiling of the intact rodent kidney vasculature has been performed, it is challenging to map vascular..

Abstract We tested whether the brain and kidney respond differently to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and to changes in perfusion conditions during CPB. Therefore, in ovine CPB, we assessed regional cerebral..

Abstract Introduction: According to different authors, cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) incidence can be as high as 20–50%. This complication increases postoperative morbidity and mortality and impairs long-term kidney..

Abstract During artificial organ support, kidney injury is multifactorial and related to the high severity of patients treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The successful delivery of continuous renal replacement..

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)..

Abstract We read with great interest the paper by Duncan et al. on the effect of hydroxyethyl starch (HES) on kidney and haemostatic function in cardiac surgical patients []. In their..

Abstract This observational study aimed to investigate the relationship between renal injury, endothelial function and oxidative stress in claudicants undergoing maximal treadmill exercise. Twenty patients with claudication were identified in..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background: The use of two diagnostic criteria in the current literature has led to some degree of ambiguity in the precise diagnosis of acute kidney injury in pediatric patients..

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,..

Perfusfind S.L.

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..

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 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..
