Pulsatile bypass may attenuate but not abolish hormone release; leaves open disease-specific tailoring of perfusion pending randomized trials.
Does pulsatile cardiopulmonary bypass alter vasoactive hormone release compared to non-pulsatile bypass in adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery?
Different cardiac diseases exhibit distinct vasoactive hormone release patterns during cardiopulmonary bypass, and pulsatile bypass can attenuate this stress response.
Kaul et al. (1990) studied this question.
