The Use of Data Science to Analyse Physiology of Oxygen Delivery in the Extracorporeal Circulation
Modern calculation tools make it possible to create a common data platform from a very large database. Using that methodology we created models of haemodynamic compounds describing tissue oxygen delivery.
Pharmacological Interventions to Reduce Edema Following Cardiopulmonary Bypass: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
To compare the effectiveness of different types of pharmacological agents to reduce organ specific edema following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
Rationale and Design of the Steroids to Reduce Systemic Inflammation after Infant Heart Surgery (STRESS) Trial
The pragmatic “trial within a registry” design may provide a mechanism for conducting low cost, high efficiency trials in a heretofore-understudied patient population.
Cardiopulmonary Bypass and AKI: AKI Is Bad, So Let’s Get Beyond the Diagnosis
It is now well-established that AKI is a serious and common complication following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in both children and adults.
Use of Cardiopulmonary Bypass for Treatment of Malignant Hyperthermia
This suggests the potential for CPB or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as a possible treatment for the symptoms of MH.
The Organ-Protective Effect of Higher Partial Pressure of Arterial Carbon Dioxide in the Normal Range for Infant Patients Undergoing Ventricular Septal Defect Repair
The aim of this study was to determine whether a higher level of partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO2) within the normal range in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery had an organ-protective effect.
Mycobacterium Chimaera Infections: An Update
Our review aims to provide an updated account of microbiological characteristics, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of Mycobacterium chimaera infections, with a special focus on those developing after cardiothoracic surgery.
Impact of Cardiopulmonary Bypass Time on Postoperative Duration of Mechanical Ventilation in Patients Undergoing Cardiovascular Surgeries: A Systemic Review and Regression of Metadata
Cardiopulmonary bypass time appears to affect clinical outcomes adversely and is associated with prolonged MV. Avoiding CPB or limiting it to a minimum may decrease the days of MV required.
Moderate and Deep Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest has a Comparable Effect on Acute Kidney Injury After Total Arch Replacement with Frozen Elephant Trunk Procedure in Type A Aortic Dissection
MHCA was not superior to DHCA in decreasing postoperative AKI. Thus, MHCA should not definitively replace DHCA.
Evaluation of Increase in Intraoperative Lactate Level as a Predictor of Outcome in Adults After Cardiac Surgery
An increase in intraoperative lactate, independent of the level on induction, is a useful dynamic parameter to identify patients at risk of postoperative morbidity and mortality and might provide an early trigger for introducing measures to avoid poor outcomes.
Evaluation of Acute Kidney Injury with Oxidative Stress Biomarkers and Renal Resistive Index after Cardiac Surgery
Our data suggest that serum cystatin C level and RRI could be used as an early biomarker for postoperative AKI after cardiac surgery.
