The Incidence of Vasoplegia in Adult Patients with Right-Sided Congenital Heart Defects Undergoing Cardiac Surgery and the Correlation with Serum Vasopressin Concentrations
This study showed that the incidence of vasoplegia (20%) in patients with right-sided congenital heart disease undergoing cardiac surgery was double that of a population of patients undergoing aortic valve surgery (10%).
Survey of the Clinical Assessment and Utility of Near-Infrared Cerebral Oximetry in Cardiac Surgery
Near-infrared cerebral oximetry increasingly is used for monitoring during cardiac surgery.
Simplified Clinical Risk Score to Predict Acute Kidney Injury after Aortic Surgery
The model would provide a simplified clinical score stratifying the risk of postoperative AKI in patients undergoing aortic surgery.
Effect of the Neutrophil Elastase Inhibitor Sivelestat on Perioperative Inflammatory Response After Pediatric Heart Surgery with Cardiopulmonary Bypass: A Prospective Randomized Study
Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) elicits a systemic inflammatory response.
Methylene Blue is Associated With Poor Outcomes in Vasoplegic Shock
The current study identified the use of methylene blue as treatment for vasoplegia to be independently associated with poor outcomes.
Continued Mechanical Ventilation during Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Operation Attenuates the Systemic Immune Response
These data suggest that continued mechanical ventilation during CABG attenuates inflammatory and anti-inflammatory immune responses after CPB.
Outcomes and Biochemical Parameters following Cardiac Surgery: Effects of Transfusion of Residual Blood using Centrifugation and Multiple-Pass Hemoconcentration
To determine whether or not there was a significant difference between the methods of centrifugation (CF) and multiple-pass hemoconcentration (MPH) of the residual cardiopulmonary-bypass volume in relation to biochemical measurements and patient outcomes.
