Gaseous microemboli (GME) are a potential complication of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Though it is difficult to prove that GME is the only major cause of neurological deficits, it may increase the chance of post-operative cognitive dysfunction if n...

Utilization of intraoperative autotransfusion (IAT) during cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has been shown to reduce allogeneic red blood cell transfusion. Previous research has emphasized the benefits of using IAT in the intraoperat...

Low indexed oxygen delivery (DOi) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has been associated with an increase in the likelihood of acute kidney injury (AKI), with critical thresholds for oxygen delivery reported to be 260-270 mL/min/m. This study aims t...
BACKGROUND: Muscle tissue saturation (StO) measured with near-infrared spectroscopy has generally been considered a measurement of the tissue microcirculatory condition. However, we hypothesized that StO could be more regarded as a fast and reliable ...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: To assess the predictive value of atrial natriuretic peptide, β-type natriuretic peptide, copeptin, mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM) and cardiac troponin I (cTn-I) as indicators of low cardiac output syndrome i...
BACKGROUND: The benefits of cardiac surgery are sometimes difficult to predict and the decision to operate on a given individual is complex. Machine Learning and Decision Curve Analysis (DCA) are recent methods developed to create and evaluate predic...
