Objectives: Hemolysis is a contributor to CS-AKI. Biochemistry analyzers provide a hemolysis index to quantify in vitro hemolysis, a condition that can, for example, affect the accuracy of potassium concentration measurements. We aimed to assess whether the postoperative plasma level of the hemolysis index (HI) could aid the early recognition of patients at risk for cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CS-AKI) and also to evaluate other hemolysis indicators: plasma carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) and methemoglobin (MetHb).

In patients treated for cerebral vasospasm, we aimed to assess and delineate the respective impacts of induced hypertension and its combination with IV milrinone on cerebral hemodynamics as assessed with transcranial Doppler.
Design: Observational proof-of-concept prospective study.
Background: Intravenous (IV) milrinone, in combination with induced hypertension, has been proposed as a treatment option for cerebral vasospasm after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). However, data on its safety and efficacy are scarce.
Methods: This was a controlled observational study conducted in an academic hospital with prospectively and retrospectively collected data.
Background: The standardized management of anticoagulation during the cardiopulmonary bypass seems inaccurate because of patients and surgeries variability. This study evaluates if an individualized management of heparin and protamine guided by the HMS Plus system during cardiopulmonary bypass could reduce postoperative blood loss.
Methods: We conducted a prospective, controlled, unblinded, single-center study.
