Is Procalcitonin a Valuable Marker for the Identification of Postoperative Complications After Open-heart Surgery With Cardiopulmonary Bypass?
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Serum levels of Procalcitonin, C-reactive protein, lactate for Open Heart Surgery and 6 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 214 participants.
Detailed Summary
The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of serum values of procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP) and lactate to predict postoperative complications in the early postoperative period after open-heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Serum PCT, CRP, and lactate values were collected postoperatively every day starting on postoperative 12 hours, postoperative days 1 through 5. After the operation, all postoperative complications were recorded during the first seven days period. The relations between diagnostic tests and postoperative complications are sought by the use of the statistical analysis methods.
