A double-blinded multicenter trial found significantly more acute kidney injury with dextran versus crystalloid priming during cardiopulmonary bypass (81% vs 53%), despite reduced hemolysis.
The study aimed to investigate the role of cold-induced RNA-binding protein (CIRP) in the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) following cardiac surgery. Elevated
In a study of 112 high-risk cardiac surgery patients, it was found that the difference in pre-operative and on-bypass mean arterial pressure (MAP) and
This study developed an XGBoost machine learning model using intraoperative blood pressure time-series data to predict the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) after
Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) ensures tissue oxygenation during cardiac surgery. New technology allows continuous registration of CPB variables during the operation. The aim of the
Considering the available scientific evidence, it is concluded that adequate kidney perfusion and fluid balance are the most critical factors determining postoperative kidney function.
