Observational StudyDifferences in Biomarkers Pattern Between Severe Isolated Right and Left Ventricular Dysfunction After Cardiac Surgery.
To find out if there are any differences in biomarkers between severe isolated right ventricular (RV) dysfunction and severe isolated left ventricular (LV) dysfunction after cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass. ⋯ The authors observed biomarkers differences between severe isolated RV dysfunction and severe isolated RV dysfunction.

Case Start Time Affects Intraoperative Transfusion Rates in Adult Cardiac Surgery: A Single-Center Retrospective Analysis.
The goal of the study was to investigate the role time of day plays in perioperative outcomes. The authors examined intraoperative transfusion rates throughout the day in adult cardiac surgery patients. They hypothesized that the rate of transfusion changes with later case start times in scheduled cardiac surgery. ⋯ The observed rate of intraoperative blood product transfusion changed with later case start times in a multivariable model of scheduled cardiac surgery.
