The emergence of large language models (LLMs) opens new horizons to leverage, often unused, information in clinical text. Our study aims to capitalise on this new potential. Specifically, we examine the utility of text embeddings generated by LLMs in...
PURPOSE: Managing children undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) presents a significant challenge for anesthesiologists. Machine Learning (ML)-assisted tools have the potential to enhance the recognition of patients at risk of ...
BACKGROUND: Perioperative myocardial injury (PMI) with different cut-off values has showed to be associated with different prognostic effect after cardiac surgery. Machine learning (ML) method has been widely used in perioperative risk predictions du...

OBJECTIVE: Acute kidney injury (AKI) after pediatric cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a frequently reported complication. In this study we aimed to determine the oxygen delivery indexed to body surface area (Doi) threshold associa...
This article introduces management algorithms to support operators in choosing the best strategy for metabolic management during cardiopulmonary bypass using artificial intelligence systems. We developed algorithms for the identification of the optim...
The need for the estimation of the number of microbubbles (MBs) in cardiopulmonary bypass surgery has been recognized among surgeons to avoid postoperative neurological complications. MBs that exceed the diameter of human capillaries may cause endoth...
