Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and serious complication of cardiac surgery. It is
associated with increased morbidity and mortality. On a population level, the financial impact …

THE SYSTEMIC INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE (man-ifested by pyrexia, leukocytosis,
tachycardia, hypotension, tissue fluid accumulation, and organ failure) is generated during …

Background: Fish oil (FO) has antiinflammatory effects, which might reduce systemic
inflammation induced by a cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Objective: We tested whether …

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) induces inflammatory responses, and effective endogenous
homeostasis is important for preventing systemic inflammation. We assessed whether …

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) causes a systemic inflammatory response syndrome
(SIRS), which can progress to an acute lung inflammation known as postperfusion …

During and after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, high concentrations of
oxygen are routinely administered, with the intention of preventing cellular hypoxia. We …

Coronary revascularisation using cardiopulmonary bypass remains the gold standard
treatment for coronary artery disease. Over the past decade, techniques of revascularisation …

By reason of surgical demand, the majority of cardiovascular procedures still depend on the
use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Due to the nonphysiological state of CPB, it can …

Dexmedetomidine, an alpha-2 adrenoreceptor agonist that is widely used as a sedative
medication, is becoming more and more attractive in clinical application on cardiac surgery …

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 …
