Risk and outcome analysis of renal replacement therapies in patients after cardiac surgery with pre-operatively normal renal functionD Hauer
Department of Anesthesiology, University of Munichm, Klinikum Grosshadern, Munich, Germany
Anaesthesia 64:615-9. 2009..In patients with pre-operatively normal renal function, a serum level of lactate > 1.1 mmol.l(-1) in the first 24 h after the operation was the strongest predictor for the development of renal failure...
Association between vasopressor dependence and early outcome in patients after cardiac surgeryF Weis
Department of Anaesthesiology, University of Munich, Klinikum Grosshadern, Munich, Germany
Anaesthesia 61:938-42. 2006..001). Vasopressor dependence could be predicted from a combination of factors, including pre-operative ejection fraction < 37%, cardiopulmonary bypass lasting > 94 min, and postoperative interleukin-6 > 837 pg x ml(-1)...
Effects of mid-line thoracotomy on the interaction between mechanical ventilation and cardiac filling during cardiac surgeryD A Reuter
Department of Anaesthesiology, University of Munich, Germany
Br J Anaesth 92:808-13. 2004..Further, thoracotomy reduces the effect of mechanical ventilation on left ventricular stroke volume. However, also under open chest conditions, SVV and PPV are preload-dependent...

Department of Anaesthesiology, Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Grosshadern University Hospital, Munich, Germany
Br J Anaesth 88:124-6. 2002..451; CI: 0.17-0.74). CONCLUSIONS: Monitoring of SVV enables real-time prediction and monitoring of the left ventricular response to preload enhancement in patients after cardiac surgery and is helpful for guiding volume therapy...

Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Department of Anaesthesiology, Munich, Germany
Eur J Anaesthesiol 20:17-20. 2003..CONCLUSIONS: Trendelenburg's manoeuvre caused only a slight increase of preload volume, despite marked increases in cardiac-filling pressures, without significantly improving cardiac performance...
Surgical treatment of permanent atrial fibrillation using microwave energy ablation: a prospective randomized clinical trialA Schuetz
Department of Cardiac Surgery, Heart Center Augustinum, Ludwig-Maximillians University, Wolkerweg 16, D-81375 Munich, Germany
Eur J Cardiothorac Surg 24:475-80; discussion 480. 2003..3%, P=0.036). CONCLUSION: The preliminary data from this first prospectively randomized trial indicate that microwave ablation combined with atrial size reduction is a safe and highly efficient treatment in permanent atrial fibrillation...
