Lowest CPB flow was associated with higher postoperative creatinine in older patients with elevated baseline values; hypothesis-generating and does not support practice change.
Does blood flow during cardiopulmonary bypass influence postoperative serum creatinine in patients undergoing cardiac surgery?
Higher blood flow during cardiopulmonary bypass is required in older patients and those with elevated baseline creatinine to prevent postoperative renal dysfunction.
Koning et al. (1987) studied this question.
