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 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)..
