Background: Fluid management is a crucial critical care component, influencing outcomes such as organ function, renal integrity, and survival in critically ill patients. Recent evidence suggests that balanced crystalloids may offer advantages over isotonic saline, particularly in reducing the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) and other complications. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of balanced crystalloids versus isotonic saline on clinical outcomes in the intensive care unit (ICU), focusing on AKI, renal replacement therapy (RRT), and mortality.

Background: Low oxygen delivery (DO2) on cardiopulmonary bypass has been associated with acute kidney injury. We sought to determine the association of intraoperative DO2, postoperative length of stay, and major postoperative events.
Methods: DO2 values were calculated in 845 patients after initiation, and every 30 minutes on bypass.

Background: Suitable tracheostomy timing after cardiac operation remains controversial; hence, this study compared the effectiveness of early and late tracheostomy after cardiac operation.
Methods: By using the nationwide administrative claims database in Japan, patients who underwent cardiac operation between April 2010 and March 2020 were identified and included in this study. In-hospital mortality, incidence of deep sternal wound infection, and ventilator-free days were analyzed and compared by dividing patients into 2 groups: an early group (patients who underwent tracheostomy 1-14 days postoperatively) and a late group (patients who underwent tracheostomy 15-30 days postoperatively).
