Why the study?
Does cardiopulmonary bypass with morphine-nitrous oxide anesthesia alter the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and potassium levels in adult patients?
Does cardiopulmonary bypass with morphine-nitrous oxide anesthesia alter the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and potassium levels in adult patients?
Cardiopulmonary bypass under morphine-nitrous oxide anesthesia significantly activates the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, which may regulate blood pressure but also drives excessive urinary potassium excretion and hypokalemia.

May increase hypokalemia risk during CPB; hypothesis-generating for RAAS modulation in cardiac surgery.
