Randomized Controlled TrialThe effect of perfusion pressure on the splanchnic circulation after CPB: a pilot study.
The impact of different blood pressure targets is unknown for post cardiac surgery patient in the intensive care unit. We, therefore, investigated the effects of a mean arterial pressure (MAP) target of 65 or 85 mmHg on splanchnic oxygenation, metabolic function, cytokine regulation and gastric tonometry after cardiopulmonary bypass. ⋯ Achieving a MAP target of 85 mmHg by means of norepinephrine infusion after CPB appears safe for the splanchnic circulation.
