Does pulsatile perfusion improve microcirculation and renal function compared to continuous flow in high-risk patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery?
Pulsatile perfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass may offer renoprotective and microcirculatory benefits in high-risk patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
Kocakulak et al. (2005) conducted an RCT in Elective cardiac surgery in high-risk patients (n=40). Pulsatile flow perfusion vs. Continuous flow perfusion was evaluated on Microcirculation and renal function. Pulsatile roller pump perfusion improved microcirculation and renal function in high-risk patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass compared to continuous flow.
