[Postoperative acute renal failure in adult patients with cardiac surgery: evaluation of the RIFLE classification].
To evaluate the ability of the RIFLE classification to predict hospital mortality in adult patients who underwent cardiac surgery. ⋯ ARF is one of the major complications in postcardiotomy patients. Analytical data suggested the good discriminative power of the RIFLE classification for predicting inpatient mortality of adult postoperative patient with ARF, and the RIFLE classification is simple and practically performed. According to the RIFLE classification, patients with RIFLE class I or class F incur a significantly increased risk of in-hospital mortality compared with those who never develop ARF.

[Effects of lipid emulsion on hemodynamics and pharmacokinetics of mongrel dogs with bupivacaine-induced cardiac depression].
To investigate the effects of Intralipid injection on hemodynamics and pharmacodynamics of mongrel dogs with bupivacaine-induced cardiac depression. ⋯ Intravenous infusion of Intralipid have beneficial effects on the hemodynamics of mongrel dogs with bupivacaine-induced cardiac depression. One of the mechanism of the beneficial effects was probably that Intralipid injection increases the apparent volume of bupivacaine distribution and that decreases blood concentration. [Key words]
