Support of mean arterial pressure during tepid cardiopulmonary bypass: effects of phenylephrine and pump flow on systemic oxygen supply and demand.
To examine the effects of phenylephrine infusion and increases in pump flow on systemic oxygen supply and demand when they are used to support mean arterial pressure (MAP) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). ⋯ During CPB with conventional flow rates, DO2 is decreased. Supporting MAP with increases in pump flow better maintains DO2 than the administration of an alpha-agonist.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialInfluence of combined zero-balanced and modified ultrafiltration on the systemic inflammatory response during coronary artery bypass grafting.
To evaluate whether combined zero-balanced and modified ultrafiltration affects the systemic inflammatory response in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patients. ⋯ It was concluded that the use of ultrafiltration diminished inflammatory response in a very limited time period immediately after CPB and, probably as a consequence, slightly improved clinical parameters.
