This study analyzed 130 adult cardiac surgery patients to identify perioperative predictors of prolonged ICU stays and in-hospital mortality. Results revealed aortic cross-clamp time
This retrospective cohort study assessed the effect of prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB ≥ 120 minutes) on gastrointestinal complications (GICs) after cardiac surgery. Analyzing 1,444
This BMJ Open study outlines a prospective cohort trial evaluating near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to monitor cerebral and renal oxygen saturation during pediatric cardiopulmonary bypass
This article explores vasoplegic syndrome (VS), a serious complication following cardiac surgery involving cardiopulmonary bypass. It discusses inconsistent definitions, risk factors, and treatment strategies.
This study investigates the effects of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) on 30-day mortality following cardiac surgery and develops machine learning models to predict
This study assessed whether intraoperative renal near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) could predict acute renal failure (ARF) in 357 cardiac surgery patients. It found that longer
This non-inferiority study evaluates the Quantum Perfusion System (QPS) for continuous blood gas monitoring during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) against the standard blood gas analyzer
This study compared six Health Canada-approved cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuits in 872 cardiac surgery patients to assess their effects on bleeding and coagulation. While
This study compares two cardioplegic solutions—HTK and Del Nido—for their impact on cerebral inflammation in a porcine cardiopulmonary bypass model. Results showed that while
This retrospective study evaluates the safety and efficacy of innominate artery (IA) graft cannulation for selective antegrade cerebral perfusion (SACP) in aortic surgery. Analyzing
This case study reports on the successful intraoperative removal of apixaban using a CytoSorb hemoadsorption device during emergency heart transplantation. The 61-year-old patient, previously
This randomized clinical study assessed how varying sweep gas flow rates affect respiratory alkalosis and cerebral oxygenation during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in 84 open-heart
