Lower Limit of Adequate Oxygen Delivery for the Maintenance of Aerobic Metabolism During Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Neonates
It was found that 340 ml min−1 m−2 is likely to represent the lowest suitable Ḋo2 required in neonates to maintain aerobic metabolism during normothermic CPB.
The Impact of Acute Kidney Injury by Serum Creatinine or Urine Output Criteria on Major Adverse Kidney Events in Cardiac Surgery Patients
Acute kidney injury is common in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, and even milder forms of acute kidney injury, including isolated stage 1 oliguria, are associated with adverse long-term consequences.
