Prediction of Acute Kidney Injury After Coronary Artery Bypass Graft From Preoperative Serum Uric Acid.
To examine the association of an elevated level of uric acid (UA) in the bloodstream with an increased likelihood of acute kidney injury (AKI) following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. ⋯ There is a relationship between preoperative blood UA level and the occurrence of AKI following CABG surgery.

Correlation Between Intraoperative Near-infrared Spectroscopy Values and Neurologic Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Total Aortic Arch Replacement Using the Frozen Elephant Trunk Technique.
To correlate intraoperative near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) values with neurologic outcomes in patients undergoing total aortic arch replacement using the frozen elephant trunk (FET) technique. ⋯ NIRS is a reliable tool to monitor intraoperative frontal lobe cerebral oxygen saturation. However, its use to predict postoperative stroke remains limited. Further refinements are needed to develop the technique into a prediction tool.
