METHODS This review included studies of adult patients undergoing major cardiac surgery,
including but not limited to coronary artery bypass grafting, valve repair/replacement, and …

Lactate measurements have proven utility as a triage tool, therapeutic guide, and prognostic
indicator, with broad use in Acute Care and transplantation. Its value in guiding therapy and …

Objectives In the present study, the authors investigated the predictive value of
postoperative peak arterial lactate levels for early and late mortality after cardiac surgery …

Introduction The aim of the current study was to evaluate the impact of increased blood
lactate levels during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on immediate results in patients who …

Background: The ideal strategy to prime the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuit in adult
cardiac surgery is still a matter of debate. Objectives: In this retrospective study, we …

Objectives To determine whether surgical technique has an effect on prognosis in coronary
artery bypass grafting (CABG). Design Retrospective observational. Setting Single center …

Background: Although serum lactate levels are widely accepted markers of haemodynamic
instability, an alternative method to evaluate haemodynamic stability/instability continuously …

Objectives Cardiac surgery is characterized by attenuation of microcirculatory perfusion.
Dexmedetomidine has been proved to attenuate the microcirculatory derangements evoked …

: Introduction: During cardiopulmonary bypass, oxidative stress happens in the patient's cells
due to blood contact with various levels of synthetic materials. It can activate inflammatory …

Objective To assess the accuracy and applicability of a novel system, not requiring
calibration, for continuous lactate monitoring with intravascular microdialysis in high-risk …
