Randomized Controlled Trial Observational StudyUse of cardiopulmonary bypass is associated with chronic postsurgical pain among patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery: follow-up of a randomized, clinical trial.
Chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) worsens patients' mortality, morbidity, and quality of life. Cardiopulmonary bypass is mandatory for cardiac surgery, but it induces intense inflammation. The presence of inflammation is a crucial part of pain sensitization. An extreme inflammatory response due to cardiopulmonary bypass might cause a high prevalence of CPSP after cardiac surgery. We hypothesized that the prevalence and severity of CPSP are higher in patients after on-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery than in those after off-pump CABG surgery. ⋯ The prevalence and severity of CPSP are higher in patients with on-pump CABG surgery than in those with off-pump CABG surgery.
