Procalcitonin as a Biomarker for Postoperative Pneumonia: A Study on Dynamics Following Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Adults

2024-10-22

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Objective Postoperative pneumonia (POP) frequently complicates cardiac surgery that involves cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). This study was aimed to assess the diagnostic utility of procalcitonin (PCT) for identifying pneumonia subsequent to CPB-assisted cardiac surgery.
