Journal ArticleDOI
Acute Renal Failure After Cardiac Surgery: Evaluation of the RIFLE Classification
TL;DR: It is proposed that the RIFLE classification is a valuable method to evaluate acute renal failure after cardiac surgery and its association with mortality may be associated with increased 90-day mortality rate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incidence, risk factors and 90-day mortality of patients with acute kidney injury in Finnish intensive care units: the FINNAKI study
Sara Nisula,Kirsi-Maija Kaukonen,Suvi T. Vaara,Anna-Maija Korhonen,Meri Poukkanen,Sari Karlsson,Mikko Haapio,Outi Inkinen,Ilkka Parviainen,Raili Suojaranta-Ylinen,Jouko J Laurila,Jyrki Tenhunen,Matti Reinikainen,Tero Ala-Kokko,Esko Ruokonen,Anne Kuitunen,Ville Pettilä,Ville Pettilä +17 more
TL;DR: The incidence of AKI in the critically ill in Finland was comparable to previous large multi-centre ICU studies and hospital mortality in AKI patients appeared comparable to or lower than in other studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dexmedetomidine as an anesthetic adjunct in coronary artery bypass grafting
Jouko Jaionen,Markku Hynynen,Anne Kuitunen,Hannu Heikkilä,J. Perttilä,Markku Salmenperä,Mika Valtonen,Riku Aantaa,Antero Kallio +8 more
TL;DR: Intraoperative intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine to patients undergoing coronary artery revascularization decreased intraoperative sympathetic tone and attenuated hyperdynamic responses to anesthesia and surgery but increased the propensity toward hypotension.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gelatin and hydroxyethyl starch, but not albumin, impair hemostasis after cardiac surgery.
TL;DR: It is concluded that after cardiopulmonary bypass surgery, both gelatin and hydroxyethyl starch impair clot strength and fibrin buildup, which may predispose patients to increased blood loss.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hemodynamic variables and progression of acute kidney injury in critically ill patients with severe sepsis: data from the prospective observational FINNAKI study.
Meri Poukkanen,Erika Wilkman,Suvi T. Vaara,Ville Pettilä,Kirsi-Maija Kaukonen,Anna-Maija Korhonen,Ari Uusaro,Seppo Hovilehto,Outi Inkinen,Raili Laru-Sompa,Raku Hautamäki,Anne Kuitunen,Sari Karlsson +12 more
TL;DR: The findings of this large prospective multicenter observational study suggest that hypotensive episodes (MAP under 73 mmHg) are associated with progression of AKI in critically ill patients with severe sepsis.
