Abstract Background The effects of adrenaline on cerebral blood vessels during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are not well understood. We developed an extracorporeal CPR model that maintains constant low systemic blood..

Abstract Objective Metabolism management plays an essential role during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). There are different metabolic management devices integrated to heart–lung machines; the most commonly used and accepted metabolic target..

Abstract OBJECTIVES Older patients have a higher cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) related mortality. Low oxygen delivery (DO2) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a risk factor for..

Abstract Background Oxygen delivery during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is closely related to postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI). The value of critical indexed oxygen delivery (DO2i) is a key indicator to..

Abstract BACKGROUND: Blood transfusion is used to treat acute anemia with the goal of increasing blood oxygen-carrying capacity as determined by hematocrit (Hct) and oxygen delivery (DO2). However, increasing Hct..

Abstract Background Cardiac surgery associated acute kidney injury (CS-AKI) is common in infants and associates with negative outcomes. Nadir indexed oxygen delivery (DO 2i) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with..

Abstract Background The relationship between low oxygen delivery (DO2) on cardiopulmonary bypass and morbidity and mortality following cardiac surgery remains unexamined. Methods We reviewed patients undergoing Society of Thoracic Surgeons..

Abstract Introduction: Postoperative delirium is the most common neurological complication of cardiac surgery. Hypoxia has been shown to increase the risk of postoperative delirium. The possibility to continuously monitor oxygen..

Background Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) improves perfusion and oxygenation in patients with cardiogenic shock. However, it can also result in supranormal oxygen exposure. Recent evidence suggests hyperoxia may..
