This meta-analysis examined how much end-tidal sevoflurane is needed to maintain appropriate anesthetic depth during cardiopulmonary bypass. Across five prospective studies involving 129 adults,
This prospective cohort study examined 102 adults undergoing first-time isolated on-pump CABG and compared three membrane oxygenators: Capiox FX25, Inspire 8, and Inspire 8F.
This study examines whether hemolysis, measured by cell-free hemoglobin (CFHb), predicts acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery in patients with preexisting renal dysfunction.
This study evaluates a machine learning (ML) model using electronic health record (EHR) data to predict acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery. In
This retrospective study of 3,313 patients undergoing mitral valve surgery found that women presented older, with more advanced heart failure, and were less likely
This meta-analysis of 12 studies (908 patients) compares 6% hydroxyethyl starch (HES 130/0.4) and 5% albumin in cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Results show
This scoping review evaluates the association between central venous pressure (CVP) and acute kidney injury (AKI) following cardiac surgery, particularly CABG. Across 16 studies,
This study evaluates the accuracy of calculated versus measured blood gas values during cardiopulmonary bypass using the Quantum System. In 81 patients, calculated PaO2
This in vitro study investigated how suction flow rate and venous reservoir level influence gaseous microemboli (GME) during cardiopulmonary bypass. Using a mock CPB
This experimental study evaluated the effects of initiating cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) with a dry venous line using vacuum-assisted venous drainage (VAVD). Researchers compared gaseous
This randomized, double-blind study compared rapid (30-second) versus slow (180-second) initiation of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) during coronary artery bypass surgery. Researchers evaluated cerebral tissue
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious complication after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. This systematic review and meta-analysis analyzed 17 observational studies
