OBJECTIVE: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery commonly threatens the heart and remote organs with ischemia-reperfusion injury. Transient episodes of ischemia to nonvital tissue, known as remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC), is thought to help lo...
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...

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: 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 ...

OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether using hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 130/0.4 as a pump prime and for intraoperative fluid therapy is associated with postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) after adult cardiac surgery.
BACKGROUND: Redo mitral valve surgery in patients with patent coronary bypass grafts carries a risk of graft injury and postoperative bleeding. We compare early results of reoperative minimally invasive on-pump beating heart mitral valve surgery (OPB...
