Abstract Objectives: The difference between mean arterial pressure (MAP) before cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and mean perfusion pressure (MPP) during CPB is thought to be a strong predictor of acute kidney injury..

Abstract OBJECTIVES: Measurement of blood pressure taken from different anatomical sites, are often perceived as interchangeable, despite them representing different parts of the systemic circulation. We aimed to perform a..

Abstract Dear Editor, Acute kidney injury (AKI) frequently occurs as a complication in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, with reported incidence rates ranging from 20 to 40% []. The development of..

Abstract OBJECTIVES: Examine the: 1) relative role of hemodynamic determinants of acute kidney injury (AKI) obtained in the immediate postcardiac surgery setting compared with established risk factors, 2) their predictive..

Abstract Background One of the main goals of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is targeting an adequate mean arterial pressure (MAP) during heart surgery, in order to maintain appropriate perfusion pressures in..

Abstract To evaluate the feasibility of continuous determination of the optimal mean arterial blood pressure (opt-MAP) according to cerebral autoregulation and to describe the opt-MAP, the autoregulation limits, and the..

Abstract Background Modifiable and non-modifiable factors contribute to development and progression of acute kidney injury (AKI) during cardiac surgery. We hypothesized that, the difference between preoperative mean arterial pressure (MAP)..

Abstract Background Low cardiac power (product of flow and pressure) has been shown to be associated with mortality in patients with cardiogenic shock after acute myocardial infarction, but has not..
