Abstract Background We investigated the myocardial protective effect of a moderate-potassium cold blood cardioplegic solution (K+, 10 mmol/L) in pediatric cardiac surgery. Methods Sixty-eight pediatric patients with congenital heart disease..

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 Objectives Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) predisposes young children to coagulopathy. The authors evaluated possible effects of CPB priming fluids on perioperative bleeding in pediatric cardiac surgery. Design Meta-analysis and systematic..

Abstract BACKGROUND:  We sought to examine potential associations between pediatric postcardiac surgical hematocrit values and postoperative complications or mortality. METHODS:  A retrospective, cross-sectional study from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons..

Abstract Objective To compare the incidence and severity of acute kidney injury following open heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass in children after administration of exogenous nitric oxide. Design Retrospective cohort..

Abstract BACKGROUND:  Bleeding is one of the commonest complications affecting children undergoing cardiac surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass. Antifibrinolytic drugs are part of a multifaceted approach aimed at reducing bleeding, though..

Abstract Background: To assess the impact of diagnostic procedures in identifying residual lesions during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) on survival after pediatric cardiac surgery. Methods: Between January 2012 and December..

Abstract Introduction: Modified ultrafiltration (MUF) is employed at the termination of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in pediatric and neonatal patients undergoing congenital heart surgery to reduce the accumulation of total body..

Abstract Minimally invasive extracorporeal technologies (MiECT) are in great expansion in the literature and have an impact in adult cardiac surgery, however, a future challenge will be to expand MiECT..

Abstract Background Thromboelastography (TEG) predicts bleeding in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery. We hypothesize that TEG parameters at rewarming correlate with post-protamine values and that rewarming TEG is associated with..

Abstract Background A change of serum lactate concentrations appeared to be useful for predicting outcomes in various acute ill settings. However, there is little information on intraoperative change of lactate..

Abstract The long-term neurodevelopmental outcome has been a great concern for cardiac surgeons although it is still unclear. There are some risks regarding the neurological and neuropsychological deficits before, during..

Abstract Background: This meta-analysis was performed to review the effects of the addition of modified ultrafiltration (MUF) and conventional ultrafiltration (CUF) to CUF alone on postoperative hemoglobin, surgical and ultrafiltration..

Abstract Perfusion strategies for  have direct consequences on pediatric cardiac surgery outcomes. However, inconsistent study results and a lack of uniform evidence-based guidelines for pediatric cardiopulmonary bypass management have led to..

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..
