■ Paper- BACKGROUND: Haptoglobin may reduce hemolysis-induced kidney injury in patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Haptoglobin may be given empirically when hemolytic urine is observed, or pre-emptively when detected by elevated free hemoglobin concentrations. In the present study, we investigated whether pre-emptive haptoglobin therapy guided by serum-free hemoglobin concentrations could prevent postoperative renal dysfunction in patients who underwent major cardiovascular surgery using CPB. METHODS: This study was a single-center, open-label, randomized controlled trial. Adult patients who underwent major cardiovascular surgery using CPB were included. Serum-free hemoglobin concentrations were measured in all patients who consented for this study. Patients with free hemoglobin concentrations that reached 0.05 g/dL were randomized to either (i) pre-emptive haptoglobin therapy group or (ii) standard of care group. Patients in the pre-emptive haptoglobin therapy group were administered 4000 U of haptoglobin when serum-free hemoglobin concentration reached 0.05 g/dL within 2 hours after the start of CPB. In the standard of care group, 4000 U of haptoglobin was administered when hemolytic urine was confirmed after the start of CPB. The primary outcome was the difference between the preoperative creatinine concentration and the maximum creatinine concentration within 48 hours after surgery (ΔCr). RESULTS: The study was terminated with the results of interim analysis due to patients' safety concerns. Finally, 34 patients in the pre-emptive haptoglobin therapy group and 33 in the standard of care group were included in the analysis. Median (interquartile range) ΔCr values were 0.20 (0.05-0.44) in the pre-emptive haptoglobin therapy group and 0.14 (0.04-0.19) in the standard of care group ( P = .05). Multiple linear regression analysis with ΔCr as objective variable and preoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), age, and randomize group as explanatory variables revealed that pre-emptive administration of haptoglobin significantly increased ΔCr ( P = .03). CONCLUSIONS: The interim study results demonstrated that in patients undergoing major cardiovascular surgery using CPB, pre-emptive haptoglobin administration worsened Cr values and independently associated with increased ΔCr.Jun. 2026, Anesthesia and analgesia, 142(6) (6), 1180 - 1188, English, International magazineScientific journal
- Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome (KTS) is associated with complex venous malformations and a risk of massive intraoperative bleeding. We report a young woman with KTS who developed 2,710 mL of intraoperative bleeding during total knee arthroplasty despite prior sclerotherapy and tourniquet use, requiring postoperative ICU management for coagulopathy. Preoperative MRI demonstrated both extensive vascular involvement and intra-articular venous malformations. This case highlights the importance of preoperative risk assessment based on lesion extent and intra-articular involvement and suggests that hybrid operating room strategies may be considered in selected high-risk cases.Mar. 2026, Cureus, 18(3) (3), e105727, English, International magazineScientific journal

- Purpose This study was conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of remimazolam with those of sevoflurane in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) surgery. Methods This study was a single-center, retrospective observational study. Adult patients who underwent OPCAB surgery between April 2023 and July 2024 and received sevoflurane or remimazolam for maintenance of general anesthesia were included. The primary outcome was intraoperative average blood pressure (ABP). Secondary outcomes were amounts of norepinephrine and other vasopressors used during surgery, intraoperative heart rate (HR), fluid balance, central venous O2 saturation (SCVO2), score of Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICD-SC) during the intensive care unit (ICU) stay, occurrence of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) and duration of ICU stay. All postoperative complications during the hospitalization period were evaluated. Results Thirty-six patients were included. Eighteen patients were administered remimazolam and 18 patients were administered sevoflurane for maintenance of general anesthesia. Intraoperative ABP was significantly higher in the remimazolam group than in the sevoflurane group (73±4 mmHg vs 69±6 mmHg, P=0.015). The amount of intraoperative norepinephrine was significantly smaller in the remimazolam group than in the sevoflurane group (910±638 μg vs 2041±927 μg, P<0.001). There were no differences in other outcomes and incidences of postoperative complications. Conclusion In OPCAB surgery, patients who received remimazolam for maintenance of general anesthesia achieved significantly higher average blood pressure than those who received sevoflurane, even though the amount of intraoperative norepinephrine was significantly smaller in the patients who received remimazolam than in the patients who received sevoflurane.Apr. 2025, Cureus, 17(4) (4), e82338, English, International magazineScientific journal
- BACKGROUND: Various factors can cause vascular endothelial damage during cardiovascular surgery (CVS) with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), which has been suggested to be associated with postoperative complications. However, few studies have specifically investigated the relationship between the degree of vascular endothelial damage and postoperative acute kidney injury (pAKI). The objectives of this study were to measure perioperative serum syndecan-1 concentrations in patients who underwent CVS with CPB, evaluate their trends, and determine their association with pAKI. METHODS: This was a descriptive and case‒control study conducted at the National University Hospital. Adult patients who underwent CVS with CPB at a national university hospital between March 15, 2016, and August 31, 2020, were included. Patients who were undergoing preoperative dialysis, had preoperative serum creatinine concentrations greater than 2.0 mg dl-1, who were undergoing surgery involving the descending aorta were excluded. The perioperative serum syndecan-1 concentration was measured, and its association with pAKI was investigated. RESULTS: Fifty-two patients were included. pAKI occurred in 18 (34.6%) of those patients. The serum syndecan-1 concentration increased after CPB initiation and exhibited bimodal peak values. The serum syndecan-1 concentration at all time points was significantly elevated compared to that after the induction of anesthesia. The serum syndecan-1 concentration at 30 min after weaning from CPB and on postoperative day 1 was associated with the occurrence of pAKI (OR = 1.10 [1.01 to 1.21], P = 0.03]; OR = 1.16 [1.01 to 1.34], P = 0.04]; and the cutoff values of the serum syndecan-1 concentration that resulted in pAKI were 101.0 ng ml-1 (sensitivity = 0.71, specificity = 0.62, area under the curve (AUC) = 0.67 (0.51 to 0.83)) and 57.1 ng ml-1 (sensitivity = 0.82, specificity = 0.56, AUC = 0.71 (0.57 to 0.86)). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the serum syndecan-1 concentration on postoperative day 1 was associated with the occurrence of pAKI (OR = 1.02 [1.00 to 1.03]; P = 0.03). CONCLUSION: The serum syndecan-1 concentration at all time points was significantly greater than that after the induction of anesthesia. The serum syndecan-1 concentration on postoperative day 1 was significantly associated with the occurrence of pAKI.
