Incidence of gastrointestinal complications in cardiopulmonary bypass patients

Abstract: Gastrointestinal complications after cardiac surgery are associated with a high mortality rate. Because of the absence of early specific clinical signs, diagnosis is often delayed. The present study seeks to determine predictive risk factors for subsequent gastrointestinal complications after cardiosurgical procedures. Within a 1-year period, a total of 1116 patients who had undergone open heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass were prospectively studied for gastrointestinal complications. To determine pred… Show more

“…CPB can lead to a severe and complicated change of pathophysiology of the liver. Operation stress, reperfusion injur y, endotoxemia, and inflammatory reaction may contribute to the liver injury [6,10,11] , however, the complex functional and metabolic effects of hepatocyte in CPB require further investigation.…”

“…DISCUSSION CPB supported the development of intracardiac surgeries and complex procedures where a clean and static field is necessary, thus allowing for great advances in cardiac surgery. However, its harmlessness is questioned because of problems related with its use, which are mainly associated with prolonged perfusion time [9][10][11].…”
