Association between preoperative uric acid concentration and the occurrence of atrial fibrillation following cardiac surgery: an observational prospective study Open
The preoperative UA concentration was independently associated with the occurrence of POAF after CABG but not after valve surgery. PCA results indicate that different biological profiles contribute to POAF occurrence according to the type …

Relationship between liver dysfunction, lipoprotein concentration and mortality during sepsis Open
Background High-density lipoproteins (HDLs) are synthesized by the liver and display endothelioprotective properties, including anti-inflammatory, antiapoptotic, antithrombotic and antioxidant effects. In both septic and chronic liver fail…

Supplementary Material for: Renal Replacement Therapy for Patients Requiring Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Multicenter International Survey Open
Introduction: Patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) often require renal replacement therapy (RRT). The challenge of inserting a dialysis catheter (DC) could be solved by direct connection of RRT lines on an ECMO cir…

Renal Replacement Therapy for Patients Requiring Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Multicenter International Survey Open
ObjectivesPatients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) often require renal replacement therapy (RRT). Insertion of a dialysis catheter may be challenging in these patients. Direct connection of RRT lines on an ECMO circuit…

Serum Lactate and Acute Mesenteric Ischemia: An Observational, Controlled Multicenter Study Open
Purpose Early diagnosis of acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is key to survival but remains extremely difficult, as the symptoms are vague and non-specific. Although international guidelines recommend that serum lactate is not used for AMI d…

Broken needle during spinal anesthesia: an avoidable complication Open
The occurrence of a needle breaking is a very rare complication of spinal anesthesia (SA). We report a case of a broken spinal needle occurring in a morbid obese pregnant woman during SA indicated for an emergent cesarean section. Multiple…

A Comparison of a Machine Learning Model with EuroSCORE II in Predicting Mortality after Elective Cardiac Surgery: A Decision Curve Analysis Open
According to ROC and DCA, machine learning model is more accurate in predicting mortality after elective cardiac surgery than EuroSCORE II. These results confirm the use of machine learning methods in the field of medical prediction.

Impact of a high loading dose of amikacin in patients with severe sepsis or septic shock Open
With a loading dose of 30 mg/kg of amikacin, concentration was potentially suboptimal (C max < 60 mg/L) in only 18.2% of patients. The pharmacodynamic target (60 mg/L < C max < 80 mg/L) recommended by French guidelines was reached in 41.8%…

Elevated plasma pancreatic enzyme concentrations after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass may indicate closed loop obstruction Open
Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is one of the most commonly performed bariatric procedures and most patients are women of reproductive age. Consequently, general surgeons and obstetricians need to be aware that these patients are at …

Esmolol Corrects Severe Hypoxemia in Patients with Femoro-Femoral Venoarterial Extracorporeal Life Support for Lung Transplantation Open
Competitive flows syndrome result in severe regional hypoxemia when the deoxygenated flow from the native left ventricle (LV) competes with oxygenated flow from extracorporeal life support (ECLS) pump with potentially severe consequences f…
