Pulsatile Versus Nonpulsatile Flow During Cardiopulmonary Bypass Extent of Hemolysis and Clinical Significance

We found that hypoglycemia (glucose <71 mg/dL) and hyperglycemia (glucose >140 mg/dL) were associated with increased risk of complications, whereas greater complexity of the glucose time series was associated with mortality.

This study was undertaken to evaluate the feasibility of thoracic epidural anesthesia as an alternative technique to general anesthesia in patients undergoing cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass.
