- Study examines the association between ionized calcium (iCa) levels during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) weaning and postoperative low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS).
- Multicenter retrospective study involving 2,382 adult patients from three Japanese hospitals.
- Patients were divided into four groups based on iCa quartiles during CPB weaning.
- Low and high iCa levels were associated with increased risk of LCOS compared to standard iCa levels.
- Adjusted odds ratios for LCOS were 1.45 for low iCa and 1.42 for moderate-high iCa groups.
- The study highlights the importance of maintaining optimal iCa levels during CPB weaning to reduce LCOS risk.
