Cardioplegia Round Table Discussion: Crystalloid (EP Video)

This study was undertaken to compare the effect of alpha-stat vs. pH-stat strategies for acid-base management on regional cerebral oxygen saturation (RsO2) in patients undergoing moderate hypothermic haemodilution cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).

the results of this study indicate a more liberal indication for IABP in high-risk patients before coronary bypass surgery.
