Abstract Aim Early downward temperature drift is a common event of pre-hospital extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (e-CPR), since prehospital extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) circuits often lack heat-exchangers. However, whether this core..

Abstract Introduction Goal-directed perfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has traditionally focused on indexed oxygen delivery (DO2i), yet metabolic behavior during aortic cross-clamping likely reflects a more complex interaction among oxygen..

Abstract Objective So far, evidence is scarce regarding the impact of rewarming temperature on bleeding after cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). We seek to evaluate how rewarming temperature affects..

Abstract Background Patient temperature during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is commonly managed by dedicated heating units (HUs) that are integrated into ECMO circuitry. Currently, no HU has received approval for..

Abstract OBJECTIVES Core temperature monitoring is critical during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). In this prospective observational study, we investigated the performance of the transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) probe for core (oesophageal) temperature..

Abstract Many patients develop acute kidney injury (AKI) after vascular surgery. In this retrospective observational study, we investigated the risk factors for AKI defined using the Kidney Disease Improving Global..

Abstract Introduction: The contribution of fluid temperature to the effect of crystalloid fluid bolus therapy (FBT) in post-cardiac surgery patients is unknown. We evaluated the hemodynamic effects of FBT with..
