Association between Intraoperative Hyperlactatemia and Myocardial Injury after Noncardiac Surgery

open access: yesDiagnostics, 2021
Background: Oxygen demand–supply mismatch is supposed to be one of the major causes of myocardial injuries after noncardiac surgery (MINS). Impaired tissue oxygenation during the surgery can lead to intraoperative hyperlactatemia.

Plasma MicroRNA-21 Predicts Postoperative Pulmonary Complications in Patients Undergoing Pneumoresection

open access: yesMediators of Inflammation, 2016
Postoperative pulmonary complication (PPC) remains the most common postoperative complication in patients undergoing noncardiac thoracic surgery. We conducted the clinical study to determine the diagnostic role of miRNA-21 in noncardiac thoracic surgery.

The incidence and risk factors of perioperative cardiac complications in noncardiac major surgery in high-altitude areas: A prospective trial in Tibet autonomous region, China

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
BackgroundThe risk of perioperative cardiac complications (PCCs) in patients living in high-altitude areas may increase with more adverse clinical outcomes due to the special geographical environment, which has not yet been studied. We aimed to determine
