Conventional or minimized cardiopulmonary bypass support during coronary artery bypass grafting? - An analysis by means of perfusion and body mass index.

Artificial Organs 2018 November 10
The use of minimized cardiopulmonary bypass support to reduce the side effects of extracorporeal circulation is still contradictorily discussed. This study compares perfusion operated by conventional (CCPB) and minimized (MCPB) cardiopulmonary bypass support during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

METHODS: This study includes the data of 5164 patients treated at our department between 2004 and 2014. Tissue perfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass support and cardiac arrest was assessed by means of body mass index, hemodilution, blood pressure with corresponding pump flow and venous oxygen saturation, serum lactate, and serum pH.

RESULTS: Hemodilution was more pronounced after CCPB: hemoglobin had dropped to 4.47±0.142 g/dL after CCPB and to 2.77±0.148 g/dL after MCPB (p=0.0022). Despite the higher pump flow in conventional circuits (4.86-4.95 L/min vs. 4.1-4.18 L/min), mean blood pressure was higher during minimized bypass support (53±10 vs. 56±13 mmHg [aortic clamping], 57±9 vs. 61±12 mmHg [34°C], 55±9 vs.59±11 mmHg [aortic clamp removal], p<0.0001) at all time points. Venous oxygen saturation remained on comparable levels of >70% during both conventional and minimized cardiopulmonary bypass support. The increase in serum lactate was more pronounced after CCPB (8.98±1.28 vs. 3.66±1.25 mg/dl, p=0.0079), corresponding to a decrease in serum pH to acidotic levels (7.33±0.06 vs. 7.35±0.06, p<0.0001). These effects were evident in all BMI ranges.

CONCLUSION: Minimized cardiopulmonary bypass support provides efficient perfusion in all BMI ranges and is thus equivalent to conventional circuits. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
