This retrospective study examined paediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery with crystalloid priming to evaluate outcomes related to postoperative hyperlactataemia. Among 186 patients, 53% experienced
This study focuses on a multidisciplinary quality-improvement intervention to standardize cardiotomy suction practices at the end of cardiopulmonary bypass during coronary artery bypass grafting.
This study investigates the impact of mitral valve surgery conducted at different times of the day (morning, afternoon, and evening) on short-term and long-term
This meta-analysis compared the midterm clinical outcomes of reimplantation versus remodeling techniques for valve-sparing aortic root replacement in patients with connective tissue disorders, finding
This study aimed to improve the early prediction of prolonged postoperative mechanical ventilation (>24 hours) after cardiac surgery. It involved analyzing data from the
This study aimed to develop a dynamic predictive model for cardiac surgery associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) by combining preoperative and intraoperative risk factors,
This study evaluated the efficacy of electroacupuncture (EA) in myocardial protection and postoperative rehabilitation in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, using data
The study investigated the impact of socioeconomic factors and referral status from a county hospital (CH) on outcomes of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
This study investigated the neuroprotective effects of ranolazine (Rn) in a rat model of cerebral ischemia induced by carotid artery clamping. Results showed that
This study explored the connection between elevated Cold-induced RNA-binding protein (CIRP) levels and the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) following cardiac surgery, focusing
Despite established guidelines, there’s a lack of concrete strategies for implementing cardiac rehabilitation (CR) in patients with acute aortic dissection (AAD), particularly regarding how
Ensuring sufficient anticoagulation in cardiac surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass is crucial for preventing adverse outcomes. This review evaluates various definitions of heparin resistance in
