Metabolic Acidosis Developing During Cardiopulmonary Bypass is Related to a Decrease in Strong Ion Difference
Metabolic acidosis is a frequent complication of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Commonly, its cause is ascribed to hypoperfusion; however, iatrogenic causes, related to […]
Liver Blood Flow During Cardiac Surgery
OBJECTIVE: Impairment of liver blood flow and, therefore, potentially liver function, has important short-term consequences because of the liver’s key metabolic importance […]
The Oxygen Dissociation Curve: Quantifying the Shift
An oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve (ODC) quantifies the most important function of red blood cells and that is the affinity for oxygen and […]

The Effects of Leukocyte Reduction on Matrix Metalloproteinase Release in Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of enzymes responsible for degrading the extracellular matrix, a process that likely contributes to the development […]
What is Cardiopulmonary Bypass?
Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a technique that temporarily takes over the function of the heart and lungs during surgery, maintaining the circulation of blood and the oxygen content […]
Deep Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest and Global Reperfusion Injury: Avoidance by Making a Pump Prime Reperfusate
Objective: We sought to determine whether damage after deep hypothermic circulatory arrest can be diminished by changing pump prime components when reinstituting […]
