Abstract Goal directed perfusion (GDP) aims to maintain an O2 delivery above 270-300 ml/min/m2, during cardiopulmonary bypass. This strategy decreases the incidence of postoperative acute kidney injury. We first developed a simple..

Abstract Introduction Monitoring indexed oxygen delivery (DO2i) is recommended during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and a predictor of acute kidney injury (AKI). The use of lean body mass-adjusted blood flow rates..

Abstract Background: Decreases in mixed venous O2 saturation (SvO2) have been reported to occur in postcardiac surgery patients during weaning from mechanical ventilation. Our aim was to establish whether the physiological..

Abstract Introduction Low oxygen delivery during cardiopulmonary bypass is related to a range of adverse outcomes. Previous research specified certain critical oxygen delivery levels associated with acute kidney injury. However,..
