Tailored cardiopulmonary bypass flow confers no renal advantage over fixed flow; confirms fixed flow as adequate for postoperative renal outcomes in cardiac surgery.
Does fixed cardiopulmonary bypass flow compared to tailored bypass flow improve postoperative renal function in patients presenting for cardiac surgery?
Fixed and tailored cardiopulmonary bypass flowrates result in similar postoperative renal function decline in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
