Key result
Abnormally prolonged peripheral vasoconstriction after cardiopulmonary bypass occurred in 11.5% of patients and was associated with a 53% incidence of hospital death.
Why the study?
Does prolonged peripheral vasoconstriction detected by toe temperature monitoring predict hospital death and underlying pathological processes in patients following cardiopulmonary bypass?
Population
131 patients following cardiopulmonary bypass (open-heart surgery)
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
Hospital stay (postoperative period)

Does prolonged peripheral vasoconstriction detected by toe temperature monitoring predict hospital death and underlying pathological processes in patients following cardiopulmonary bypass?
Prolonged peripheral vasoconstriction detected by simple toe temperature monitoring after cardiopulmonary bypass is a strong early warning sign of serious underlying pathological processes and high hospital mortality.
Matthews et al. (1974) conducted a cohort in Postoperative state following cardiopulmonary bypass (n=131). Abnormally prolonged peripheral vasoconstriction was evaluated on Hospital death. Abnormally prolonged peripheral vasoconstriction after cardiopulmonary bypass occurred in 11.5% of patients and was associated with a 53% incidence of hospital death.
