Modified Glucose-Insulin-Potassium Regimen Provides Cardioprotection With Improved Tissue Perfusion in Patients Undergoing Cardiopulmonary Bypass Surgery [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Background Laboratory studies demonstrate glucose-insulin-potassium (GIK) as a potent cardioprotective intervention, but clinical trials have yielded mixed results, likely because of varying formulas and timing of GIK treatment and different clinical ...

Esketamine/Ketamine: Dual‐Action Mechanisms and Clinical Prospects beyond Anesthesia in Psychiatry, Immunology, and Oncology

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Esketamine and ketamine are widely used for perioperative analgesia and anesthesia. Despite their established roles in analgesia, sedation, and anesthesia, as well as emerging antidepressant, anti‐tumor, and anti‐inflammatory effects, their clinical use is limited due to side effects and addiction potential.

Salvage resection of advanced mediastinal tumors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The surgical treatment of locally advanced mediastinal tumors invading the great vessels and other nearby structures still represent a tricky question, principally due to the technical complexity of the resective phase, the contingent need to carry out

Neuroprotective Strategies during Cardiac Surgery with Cardiopulmonary Bypass

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2016
Aortocoronary bypass or valve surgery usually require cardiac arrest using cardioplegic solutions. Although, in principle, in a number of cases beating heart surgery (so-called off-pump technique) is possible, aortic or valve surgery or correction of ...

Understanding the influence of transfusion and blood loss on tranexamic acid concentration in scoliosis surgery with blood loss

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Tranexamic acid (TXA) stabilizes clot formation by inhibiting fibrin degradation and improves postoperative outcomes. However, rare adverse events (e.g., thrombosis, seizures) warrant dose–risk evaluation. This study examines how perioperative blood loss and transfusion practices affect TXA concentrations during paediatric scoliosis surgery ...

Effect of mild hypothermia vs normothermia cardiopulmonary bypass on postoperative bleeding in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting: protocol of a multi-center, randomized, controlled trial

open access: yesBMC Surgery
Background Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is often performed with hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) to reduce metabolic demands and protect the myocardium. However, hypothermia can increase bleeding risks and other complications.

Genetic variation of TLR4 influences immunoendocrine stress response: an observational study in cardiac surgical patients [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Introduction: Systemic inflammation (e.g. following surgery) involves Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling and leads to an endocrine stress response. This study aims to investigate a possible influence of TLR2 and TLR4 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)

Conversion to Cardiac Surgery During Elective and Urgent Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become an established treatment for severe aortic stenosis. However, the need for unplanned conversion to cardiac surgery (CS) during TAVI remains an infrequent but critical event. It is unclear whether this risk is higher in patients undergoing urgent procedures.

The organ-protective effects of nitric oxide in adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass: a systematic review and meta-analysis

open access: yesBMC Anesthesiology
Background Postoperative organ dysfunction remains a major challenge in adult cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), frequently involving the kidneys, heart, and lungs.
