The Strong Ion Gap Predicts Mortality in Children Following Cardiopulmonary Bypass Surgery
Our study objectives were as follows: a) to determine the 24-hr profile of the strong ion gap following cardiopulmonary bypass surgery; and b) to compare the prognostic value in terms of intensive care unit mortality of this variable with blood lactate.
Effect of Cardiopulmonary Bypass on Selected Neutrophil Functions in Children With Cyanotic Congenital Heart Disease
The aim of our study was to investigate alterations in expression of adhesion molecules and L-selectin on neutrophils, and soluble adhesion molecules levels in CCHD children.
Low Postoperative Hematocrit Increases Cerebrovascular Damage After Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest
The objective of this study was to evaluate the systemic and cerebral effects of different postoperative hematocrit management following cardiopulmonary bypass and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest.
