Regional Cerebral Oxygen Saturation Level Predicts 30-Day Mortality Rate After Left Ventricular Assist Device Surgery.
Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) surgery is complex, high risk, and expensive. The authors' hypothesis is baseline regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) might be a predictor of postoperative clinical outcomes. ⋯ Regional cerebral oxygen saturation levels at baseline are significantly associated with 30-day mortality after LVAD surgeries.

Elevated Pulse Pressure, Intraoperative Hemodynamic Perturbations, and Acute Kidney Injury After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery.
To explore whether baseline pulse pressure (PP) confers an increased risk for acute kidney injury (AKI) independent of intraoperative hypotension or hypertension in patients who undergo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. ⋯ Baseline PP was significantly associated with postoperative AKI after CABG surgery, independent of weighted duration of intraoperative hypotension or hypertension.

Observational StudyPrognostic Impacts of Increases in Amino Transaminases Following Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting on Mortality.
To evaluate the prognostic impacts of postoperative increases in serum amino transaminases on 1-year mortality in patients who underwent coronary artery bypass graft. ⋯ Postoperative increases in aspartate amino transaminase only and increases in both aspartate amino transaminase and alanine amino transaminase greater than twice the upper limit of normal were associated with increased 1-year mortality in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft.
