The objective of this study was to evaluate the incidence, risk, or protective factors of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients after cardiac surgery based on the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria.

Whole Blood Cardioplegia (Minicardioplegia) Reduces Myocardial Edema After Ischemic Injury and Cardiopulmonary Bypass

While blood:crystalloid cardioplegia is the clinical standard for patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), it has been postulated that whole blood minicardioplegia may benefit the severely injured heart by reducing cardioplegic volume, thereby reducing myocardial edema.

Real-Time Data Acquisition and Alerts May Reduce Reaction Time and Improve Perfusionist Performance During Cardiopulmonary Bypass
