  1. Metabolic acidosis was defined as a PH ≤ 7.3 with low HCO3 (< 22 mEq/L) on ABG during the first 10 h after surgery. Postoperative AKI was defined as any new postoperative renal failure that requires dialysis
  2. AKI acute kidney injury, CPB cardiopulmonary bypass, ECMO extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, ICU intensive care unit.
  3. aOperative mortality is defined as any in-hospital death
