Key result
Pulsatile perfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass significantly increased plasma free hemoglobin levels compared to nonpulsatile perfusion, with no benefit on vasoactive hormones.
Why the study?
Does pulsatile cardiopulmonary bypass using a roller pump improve vasoactive hormone levels or hematologic changes compared to nonpulsatile bypass in patients undergoing elective primary CABG?

Pulsatile perfusion was associated with increased hemolysis and no hormonal benefit in CABG; leaves open whether pulsatility merits randomized evaluation.

Does pulsatile cardiopulmonary bypass using a roller pump improve vasoactive hormone levels or hematologic changes compared to nonpulsatile bypass in patients undergoing elective primary CABG?
Pulsatile cardiopulmonary bypass using a roller pump does not offer benefits regarding vasoactive hormones and is associated with increased hemolysis compared to nonpulsatile perfusion.
Goto et al. (1993) conducted an observational in Elective primary coronary artery bypass graft surgery (n=32). Pulsatile perfusion using a roller pump vs. Nonpulsatile perfusion was evaluated on Levels of vasoactive hormones and hematologic changes. Pulsatile perfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass significantly increased plasma free hemoglobin levels compared to nonpulsatile perfusion, with no benefit on vasoactive hormones.
