Comparison of Heat Monitoring-Based Myocardial Protection Strategy with Classic Myocardial Protection Method in Isolated Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery Patients
Our results show that there is no difference between temperature-based myocardial protection strategy with conventional intermittent cardioplegia delivery.
Efficacy of Unilateral Cerebral Perfusion for Brain Protection in Aortic Arch Surgery
Unilateral cerebral perfusion performed in the described conditions is highly effective for cerebral protection in aortic arch surgery.
Liraglutide for Perioperative Management of Hyperglycaemia in Cardiac Surgery Patients: a Multicentre Randomized Superiority Trial
Preoperative liraglutide, compared with placebo, reduces insulin requirements while improving perioperative glycaemic control during cardiac surgery.
Sustained High-dose Thiamine Supplementation in High-risk Cardiac Patients Undergoing Cardiopulmonary Bypass: A Pilot Feasibility Study (The APPLY trial)
A double-blind trial of sustained high-dose intravenous thiamine supplementation in higher-risk cardiac surgery patients was feasible and appeared to be safe. However, such treatment did not demonstrate evidence of biological or physiological effects.
Safety of Custodiol Cardioplegia: a Cohort Study in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery with Elongated Aortic Cross-Clamp Time
Custodiol is a safe method of myocardial protection for patients who underwent mitral valve surgery with coronary artery bypass grafting in our hospital.
Are Serum Potassium and Magnesium Levels Associated with Atrial Fibrillation After Cardiac Surgery?
Maintaining a serum potassium concentration ≥4.5 mmol/L after cardiac surgery may reduce the incidence of postoperative AF. Magnesium supplementation was associated with an increased risk of postoperative AF.
Vasoplegia During Cardiopulmonary Bypass: Current Literature and Rescue Therapy Options
Understanding the evidence for, dosing, and side effects of these agents is crucial for cardiac anesthesiologists when treating vasoplegia during CPB bypass.
Cryoglobulinemia: Caution for Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery
Keywords: Cardiopulmonary bypass, cryoglobulinemia, heart valve prosthesis implantation, hepatitis C, thoracic surgery, vasculitis.
Heparin Sensitivity and Postoperative Blood Loss in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery with Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Postoperative blood loss is related to heparin sensitivity in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, and the moderately sensitive patients have the least postoperative bleeding.
Application of Piezo-Based Measuring System for Evaluation of Nucleic Acid-Based Drugs Influencing the Coagulation
The obtained results showed that the established PIEZ is capable to dynamically measure the hemostasis status in whole blood and can be applied to analyze nucleic acid-based drugs influencing the coagulation.
A Retrospective Comparison of Preoperative Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate as a Predictor of Postoperative Cardiac Surgery Associated Acute Kidney Injury
The present study is aimed at assessing the relation of different ranges of preoperative eGFR with an incidence of CSA-AKI defined by the AKI network (AKIN) criteria.
Role of Urinary PO2 Analysis During Conventional Versus Conventional and modified Ultrafiltration Techniques in Adult Cardiac Surgery
Combined ultrafiltration technique had renoprotective effect in cardiac surgery analyzed by urinary PO2 levels.
