About the Case Presentation
The approach to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) involves temporarily taking over the function of the heart and lungs during open-heart surgery, allowing the heart to be still while vital procedures are performed. The CPB machine circulates blood and oxygenates it, maintaining systemic circulation and oxygen delivery to tissues. Proper management of CPB requires careful monitoring of hemodynamics, blood gas levels, and coagulation status to minimize complications. Key challenges include managing the inflammatory response, preventing organ dysfunction, and ensuring proper weaning from the bypass machine once surgery is completed. Advances in CPB technology and techniques continue to improve patient outcomes, with a focus on reducing risks such as stroke, bleeding, and renal injury.
