Doppler renal resistance index for the prediction of response to passive leg-raising following cardiac surgery
(Wiley, 2018-03-25)Purpose: Doppler-based renal resistance index (RI) can be measured at the bedside of critically illpatients. This study was designed to assess if the RI predicted an increase in cardiac output (CO)following passive leg-raising (PLR) in patients admitted ... -
High postoperative portal venous flow pulsatility indicates right ventricular dysfunction and predicts complications in cardiac surgery patients
(Elsevier, 2018-11-28)Background Right ventricular failure after cardiac surgery is associated with morbidity and mortality. Right ventricular dysfunction results in hepatic venous congestion, which impacts the portal circulation. We aimed to determine whether an increased ... -
The role of point-of-care ultrasound monitoring in cardiac surgical patients with acute kidney injury
(Elsevier, 2018-11-03)The approach to the patient with acute kidney injury (AKI) after cardiac surgery involves multiple aspects. These include the rapid recognition of reversible causes, the accurate identification of patients who will progress to severe stages of AKI and ...
