Exploring techniques like multimodal intravenous anesthesia guided by electroencephalogram can enhance perfusion maintenance within the auto-regulatory range. By adopting an individualized approach to perfusion targets on CPB, we can improve outcomes and enhance patient care.
Cerebral microhemorrhages (CMH) are frequently seen after neonatal bypass heart surgery, but it remains unknown if CMH are a benign finding or constitute injury. Herein, we investigate the risk factors for developing CMH and their clinical significance.
This study compared the outcomes of heart valve surgery patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass with two different priming solutions: 6% hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 130/0.4 and ringer’s lactate (RL). The results indicate that using HES in addition to RL for priming increased the risk of blood product transfusion during hospitalization compared to using RL alone in this patient population.
Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) ensures tissue oxygenation during cardiac surgery. New technology allows continuous registration of CPB variables during the operation. The aim of the present investigation was to study the association between CPB management and the risk of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI).
By adopting an individualized approach to perfusion targets on CPB, we can improve outcomes and enhance patient care.
The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between maintaining intraoperative DO2 ≥280 mL/(min·m2) and the 90-day postoperative mortality of ATAAD patients.
The hematocrit correction improved quantification of cerebral physiologic trends that precede and coincide with neurological injury following CPB.
This study aimed to compare postoperative outcomes and 30-day mortality in patients with reduced ejection fraction (<40%) who underwent isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with (ONCAB) and without (OPCAB) the use of cardiopulmonary bypass.
