Restrictive Versus Liberal Transfusion in Patients with Diabetes Undergoing Cardiac Surgery: An Open-Label, Randomized, Blinded Outcome Evaluation Trial
The presence of diabetes did not modify the effect of a restrictive transfusion strategy on the primary composite outcome, but improved its efficacy on red cell transfusion. Restrictive transfusion triggers are safe and effective in patients with diabetes undergoing cardiac surgery.
Myocardial Protection with Multiport Antegrade Cold Blood Cardioplegia and Continuous Controlled Warm Shot Through Vein Grafts During Proximal Ends Anastomosis in Conventional Coronary Artery Bypass Graft
This study evaluates the benefits of simultaneous aortic root and vein graft cold blood cardioplegia and continuous controlled warm blood perfusion through vein grafts during proximal aortocoronary anastomosis in conventional coronary artery bypass graft surgery in patients with multi-vessel coronary artery disease.
The Incidence, Risk Factors, and Prognosis of Postoperative Hyperbilirubinemia after Cardiac Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Hyperbilirubinemia was common and was associated with increased in-hospital mortality. Preoperative high right atrial pressure, high TB concentration, prolonged CPB and ACC time, and a large amount of blood transfused were the commonly observed risk factors for postoperative hyperbilirubinemia in cardiac surgery patients. Addressing these risk factors may be helpful to lower the occurrence of postoperative hyperbilirubinemia.
