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 …

Objective Cardiac surgery can be complicated by the development of a systemic
inflammatory response syndrome related to cardiopulmonary bypass. This potentially …

Background Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with systemic inflammation,
featuring increased levels of circulating pro-inflammatory cytokines. Intra-operative …

Objective Perioperative corticosteroids have been used for pediatric cardiac surgery for
decades, but the underlying evidence is conflicting. We aimed to investigate the efficacy and …
