Hypermetabolism after coronary artery bypass

open access: yesThe Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1991
We measured the changes in energy expenditure in the early postoperative phase after coronary artery bypass operations and the ventilatory response to the increased demand for respiratory gas exchange. Breathing pattern and gas exchange were measured noninvasively by respiratory inductive plethysmography and indirect calorimetry with a canopy. Eighteen

Aprotinin may increase mortality in low and intermediate risk but not in high risk cardiac surgical patients compared to tranexamic acid and ε-aminocaproic acid - a meta-analysis of randomised and observational trials of over 30.000 patients [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Background: To compare the effect of aprotinin with the effect of lysine analogues (tranexamic acid and ε-aminocaproic acid) on early mortality in three subgroups of patients: low, intermediate and high risk of cardiac surgery.
