Abstract:A potential morbidity of incomplete re-warming following hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is cardiac arrest. In contrast, attempts to fully re-warm the patient can lead to cerebral hyperthermia. Similarly, rigid adherence to 37.0 degrees C during normothermic CPB may also cause cerebral overheating. The literature demonstrates scant information concerning the actual temperatures measured, the sites of temperature measurement and the detailed thermal strategies employed during CPB. A prospective, random… Show more
“…The reason for early impaired cerebral oxygenation during warm CPB in the previous studies (9, 10, 22, 23) was because patients were exposed to the risk of continuous rewarming from the beginning of CPB to keep bypass temperature at >35°C or strictly at 37°C. More importantly, there is an increased risk of undetected brain hyperthermia during rewarming because nasopharyngeal and oesophagyeal temperatures underestimate brain temperature (24–27). Recently, avoidance of early rewarming during warm CPB (35 ± 1°C) in children has been reported to prevent desaturation (28), which has been described at the first 40 min of warm CPB (10).…”
Cold CPB failed to offer any further brain protection in terms of better preservation of cerebral oxygenation than warm CPB. Therefore, warm CPB (34 degrees C) with different blood gas strategies appears to be a satisfactory alternative to cold CPB (28 degrees C).

“…Johnson and colleagues [11] (2002) highlighted, in a prospective study of 80 patients, the disparity in temperature measurement between the NP temperature and the arterial outlet temperature. In 2004, Kaukuntla and colleagues [12] demonstrated that commonly used core temperature monitoring sites (bladder, esophageal, and NP) were not accurate measures of cerebral temperature where JB temperature is used as the gold standard.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
