Optimizing pulsatility during cardiopulmonary bypass to reduce acute kidney injury: Prospective Observational Study
Preserving endothelial function with pulsatility during CPB will be associated with less AKI after cardiac surgery.
Why this Research Matters
Blood, urine, and bone marrow will be collected to analyze biomarkers of acute kidney injury risk. Sublingual microscopy will be used to collect images in the mouth. This is to study the following aims: Aim 1: Determine the effect of pulsatility during CP
