Background: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation guidelines imply the use of epinephrine/adrenaline during cardiopulmonary arrest. However, in cardiac arrest situations resulting from coronary artery spasm (CAS), the use of epinephrine/adrenaline could be deleterious.
Methods And Results: A 49-year-old patient underwent an emergency coronarography with an attempt to stent the coronary arteries.
Objectives: The evaluation of the renal function in cardiac surgery is difficult. The gold standard remains the creatinine clearance in clinical practice. Cystatin C was recently proposed in order to evaluate the renal function.

The alternative hypothesis stands in volume dilution with solutions free of bicarbonate.
Objectives: Evaluate the acid-base status of patients undergoing cardiac surgery with CPB priming containing chloride and bicarbonate.
Background: The aim of this prospective study was to compare continuous cardiac output measurements of the non-invasive cardiac output system (NICO) with the pulmonary artery catheter during off-pump coronary bypass surgery.
Methods: Twenty-two patients enrolled for off-pump coronary surgery received both a pulmonary artery catheter and a non-invasive cardiac output system for measurement of cardiac output. Data were compared by the Bland-Altman method to calculate the degree of agreement and to analyse if a significant difference existed between the two methods of cardiac output measurements.
