Normothermic CPB may be preferred in elective CABG for better oxygenation and hemostasis; extends RCT evidence favoring normothermia over hypothermia.
Does normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass perfusion temperature improve circulatory pathophysiology and clinical outcomes compared to hypothermic perfusion in patients undergoing elective coronary bypass surgery?
Normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass during elective coronary bypass surgery is relatively safe and offers advantages in hemostasis and pulmonary function compared to hypothermic bypass, despite potential minor disadvantages in cerebral perfusion.
