Utilidad de la procalcitonina como biomarcador en cirugía cardiaca by Mario Castaño, Pasquale Maiorano, Laura Castillo, Blanca Meana, Belén Ramos, Elio Martín-Gutiérrez, Javier A. Gualis

“…Postoperative infection is a severe complication after cardiac surgery that increases morbimortality, which can be effectively reduced with early detection and appropriate treatment. Surgical trauma and cardiopulmonary bypass induced inflammation, as well as hypothermia or vasoconstrictors, stimulate the release of procalcitonin in uncomplicated postoperative patients, so its usefulness may be reduced. …”
