The effect of intensive insulin therapy on infection rate, vasospasm, neurologic outcome, and mortality in neurointensive care unit after intracranial aneurysm clipping in patients with acute subarachnoid hemorrhage: a randomized prospective pilot trial.
Federico Bilotta,Allison Spinelli,Federico Giovannini,Andrea Doronzio,Roberto Delfini,Giovanni Rosa +5 more
TL;DR: The benefit of strict glycemic control on postoperative vasospasm, neurologic outcome, and mortality rates does not seem to be affected by intensive insulin therapy.

Risk factors of incomplete distribution of cardioplegic solution during coronary artery grafting
Carettal Quintilio,Paolo Voci,Federico Bilotta,Giampaolo Luzi,Flavia Chiarotti,Maria Cristina Acconcia,Corrado Mercanti,Benedetto Marino +7 more
TL;DR: The results show that retrograde cardioplegia in patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting offers no advantage over antegrade carding when collateral circulation is well developed, and conventional aortic root infusion may not provide adequate myocardial protection in the subset of patients with significantly narrowed or occluded coronary arteries and poor collaterals.

Mechanisms of incomplete cardioplegia distribution during coronary artery surgery. An intraoperative transesophageal contrast echocardiography study
Paolo Voci,Federico Bilotta,Quintillo Caretta,Flavia Chiarotti,Corrado Mercanti,Benedetto Marino +5 more
TL;DR: This study shows that incomplete myocardial distribution of cardioplegia, secondary to transient aortic valve incompetence or shunting through the foramen ovale, is not uncommon in patients undergoing coronary surgery.

Severe Intraoperative Hyperglycemia Is Independently Associated With Postoperative Composite Infection After Craniotomy: An Observational Study.
Shaun E. Gruenbaum,Laura Toscani,Kenneth M. Fomberstein,Keith J. Ruskin,Feng Dai,Ega Qeva,Giovanni Rosa,Lingzhong Meng,Federico Bilotta +8 more
TL;DR: SIH is independently associated with postoperative new-onset composite infections in patients undergoing craniotomy and whether prevention of SIH during craniotom results in a reduced postoperative risk of infection is unknown and needs to be appraised by further study.

Echocardiographic analysis of dysfunctional and normal myocardial segments before and immediately after coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
Paolo Voci,Federico Bilotta,Solomon Aronson,G Scibilia,Quintilio Caretta,Corrado Mercanti,Benedetto Marino,Ronald A. Thisted,Michael F. Roizen,Attilio Reale +9 more
TL;DR: There is a recovery of function in some myocardial segments and a reduction in function in others immediately after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, and the semiquantitative assessment of percent of systolic wall thickening is a more reliable (consistent) echocardiographic index of myocardIAL function.
