Introduction
Coronary artery bypass gra (CABG) surgery utilizing cardiopul­monary bypass (CPB) is the most ecacious management strategy for diuse ischaemic heart disease. Over the last three decades, sur­gical revascularization has been challenged by non- surgical, percu­taneous interventions including angioplasty and drug- eluding stent placement in the cardiac catheterization suite and surgical proced­ures not utilizing CPB, referred to as o- pump (OPCAB) surgery and procedures using miniaturized circuits to support the circula­tion. Collectively, all of these innovations were limited in their eect­iveness to promote improved outcomes. Percutaneous interventions (angioplasty and stenting) have been shown to be inferior to surgical graing on bypass, while o- pump techniques have been demon­strated to purport poorer long- term outcomes, particularly in pa­tients with multivessel coronary disease.
CPB provides the surgical team with the most controlled envir­onment to perform the precise anastomoses needed for a successful CABG operation. It not only promotes the most stable surgical eld, but it utilizes a range of techniques that benet both the surgeon and the patient. is chapter aims to provide the surgical team with an outline of CPB circuit components and an overview of common technical issues that diminish the adequacy of perfusion, and to direct the team to resources available in order to achieve evidence­based clinically safe CPB. is chapter focuses on the utilization of CPB for CABG surgery; myocardial protection (Chapter25), the use of mini- circuits (Chapter24), and blood management (Chapter26) are dealt with in separate chapters.
While mortality and complications related to CPB have declined over time, numerous observational studies have reported that dur­ation of time on CPB is an independent predictor of stroke, acute renal injury, and death.–  A plausible explanation for this rela­tionship is that longer bypass time increases the opportunity for exposure to emboli, low blood pressure, and suboptimal organ per­fusion. Recent studies examining the relationship between minutes of exposure to low oxygen delivery and minutes of hypotension during CPB support this hypothesis., e management of CPB for CABG must be performed in the context of best practice util­izing evidence- based recommendations where they exist and best available evidence where recommendations are lacking, coupled
with experience and good clinical judgement.–  Moreover, com­munication between the surgeon and perfusion team is paramount for obtaining safe and optimal support. Finally, CPB must be re­ported accurately and the quality of practice continuously improved. Clinical equipoise clearly exists in some aspects of the management of CPB. e discovery of improved processes of perfusion support that result in measurable improvements, such as reduction in rates of new heart failure, acute kidney injury, postoperative intensive care, and death, have produced better clinical outcomes in an in­creasingly complex and patient- centred health system. Globally, in­dividuals older than 65years of age are among the fastest growing demographic, resulting in predictions that the proportion of people aged 65– 74years will increase by 65% from 2010 to 2025, presenting cardiac surgery with a very signicant increase in the population potentially at risk of heart disease.
Technology forcardiopulmonarybypass
Pumps
e technology available for conventional CPB for CABG is con­tinually evolving. e heart– lung machine provides the backbone for CPB. e choice of arterial pump remains primarily cost driven, with the most recent meta- analysis not demonstrating any sig­nicantly dierent haematological or clinical outcomes between roller and centrifugal pump systems. Roller pumps (or peristaltic pumps) work via positive displacement by occluding tubing be­tween a stationary raceway and rotating roller(s) or occluder(s). Blood is pushed ahead of the moving rollerhead and the squeeze of the occlusion against the raceway. Pump ow to the patient is a calculated value, determined by the length and diameter of the tubing inserted through the rollerhead raceway, and the revolutions per minute. Standard safety features in modern roller pump design include emboli and uid level servo regulation of ow, a modular construction that permits rapid pump exchange, and battery back­ups and manual hand cranks in the event of power failure. Concerns with roller pumps relate to the variability of the occlusiveness of the arterial pump, contributing to haemolysis (with over- occluded roller pumps) and retrograde ow (with under- occluded roller pumps), cavitation of air dissolved in solution, and the generation of
SECTION 5 Management of cardiopulmonary bypass192
https://t.me/medicina_free
particulate emboli in the inner surface of the tubing from excessive interaction with the rollerhead (spallation). While reports of tubing rupture in the arterial raceway are rare, the likelihood may be in­creased through other factors, such as the diameter of the tubing, temperature, and prolonged CPB support.
Centrifugal (constrained vortex) pumps are aerload dependent, moving blood by the addition of kinetic energy through the forced centrifugal rotation of an impeller or cone within a constrained housing. Blood ow is directly related to resistance, therefore unex­pected increases in resistance will result in a ow reduction or ces­sation. Introduction of air into these pumps will de- prime the pump reducing the likelihood of massive air embolization; however, small quantities of air, if aspirated into the pump head, may coalesce and be passed into the outlet stream of uid movement, and into the patient. Haemolysis remains a concern with centrifugal pump; how­ever, they do not produce mechanical trauma to the extracorporeal tubing. A potential complication associated with non- occlusive­type pumps involves retrograde ow through the aortic cannula when the pressure in the central aorta exceeds that generated by the pump. Retrograde ow through the circuit can be attenuated with additional safety equipment including one- way valves, low­ow alarms, and zero- balance pump ow revolutions per minute. Generally, centrifugal pumps produce less blood damage; however, this improvement may be inconsequential given the blood trauma and inammation related to contact activation of the blood related to cardiotomy suction, the introduction of gaseous and particulate emboli, the surface area of the extracorporeal circuit, and related factors. e use of centrifugal pumps is currently supported by the Society of oracic Surgeons/ Society of Cardiac Anesthesiologists (STS/ SCA) recommendation ‘It is not unreasonable to select a centrifugal pump rather than a roller pump but more so for safety reasons rather than blood conservation’.
e heart– lung machine supports auxiliary pumps for cardioplegia delivery, intracardiac venting, cardiotomy suction, ultraltration, and dialysis. ese auxiliary pumps may consist of rollerheads of varying size and conguration. Aschematic of the equipment and circuit for CPB is shown in Fig. 23.1. All pump systems are equipped with an uninterrupted power source installed to provide battery back- up during operating room power failure. Manual hand cranks should all be standard to all pumps and immediately available for mechanical drive motor or console failure.
Circuitry
Disposable devices are coupled to the framework of the heart– lung machine (oxygenator, tubing, cannulae, cardioplegia delivery system) to provide an environment that not only supports the patient’s native heart and lung function, but presents the surgical team with a quiet and bloodless surgical eld.
Evidence supports the choice of some technologies used for CPB; however, genuine clinical equipoise oen exists within the range of technology provided by industry requiring ongoing support for perfusion- related research. e use of membrane oxygenation systems, arterial line ltration, and biocompatible coatings are the standard of practice. e introduction of the hollow bre mem-
for a prolonged duration of support. e continued improvements in hollow bre membrane size and design have enabled clinicians to move away from the ‘one- size- ts- all’ concept and towards more customized patient size- specic and prescriptive strategies. Manufacturers now provide support to meet diering demands, for example, to meet the high blood ow demands of large body mass index patients, be it by dierent sizes of oxygenator or by increasing the range of ow speciations for dierent devices. e incorpor­ation of arterial line ltration into the oxygenator (‘integrated’) has simplied the set- up for CPB and aided in reducing surface area and static prime volume. e use of arterial line ltration has been ac­cepted as a classI, level Arecommendation. Numerous studies in vitro and in vivo have evaluated the gaseous microemboli handling of both integrated and stand- alone arterial line ltration and oxy­genator systems and choice must be based upon both clinical per­formance characteristics and safety features, such as a lower embolic load than the device being replaced., e use of biocompatible tubing is recommended for blood conservation benets (classIIB, level A) and for the attenuation of the inammatory response (classIIA, level B); however, equipoise exists pertaining to which type of biopassive surface should be used and the extent of how much articial surface is covered on the CPB circuit.
e benets of other components of the bypass circuit are less well reported and their use may be determined at a local level. Murphy etal. reported the perceived advantages and disadvantages of collapsible ‘closed’ shell versus hard ‘open’ shell venous reser­voir systems; however, there is no clear evidence supporting the use of either system. e importance of understanding the equip­ment and the materials being used in the CPB circuit cannot be overstated. Subtle changes to tubing and oxygenator design have previously been implicated in operating room accidents and near misses. In 2017, concerns were raised with the type of material used to build the heat exchanger component of the oxygenator, as heat exchange with polymer membranes separating the blood and water components were implicated in the transfer of hydrogen peroxide to patients.
e decision for which technology is adopted must critically bal­ance functionality, safety, experience, outcome, and cost. e ability to balance each of these factors distinguishes high- performing clin­ical teams. e choice of both arterial and venous cannulas is an example of these competing inuences. Surgical factors such as exibility, feel, size, and ease of handling need to couple with ow characteristics including direction, dispersion, pressure gradients, and eect on rheology. Designs for arterial cannulas aim at op­timal ow (maximum) to minimize the pressure gradient across the cannula to less than 100mmHg, at arterial line pressures of less than 250mmHg. Collectively, arterial cannula design, coupled with matching of the size of cannula and the patient, aim to reduce the likelihood of turbulence and cavitation due to high pressures and ows and reduce the risk of aortic wall damage due to high ow directly into the aortic wall. Venous cannulas signicantly inu­ence venous drainage. Dual- stage cannulas with gravity drainage provide the mainstay for CABG surgery. When reduced drainage is encountered due to the inability to use large enough cannulas, then augmented venous return must be considered. Vacuum- assisted
compact device which meets the demand for clinical oxygen (O) transfer and carbon dioxide (CO) removal, reduced prime volume, decreased pressure drop, and minimized haematological damage
venous drainage is popular; however, the risk associated with air en­trapment and emboli generation associated with excessive negative pressure must be considered.

Fig.23.1 Diagram of the components of the CPB circuit. Detailed schematic diagram of the arrangement of a CPB circuit using a membrane
oxygenator with integrated hard- shell venous reservoir and systemic heat exchanger, with an external cardiotomy reservoir (more commonly this is fully integrated in hard- shell reservoirs). Venous cannulation is depicted in the right atrium and extending towards the inferior vena cava and arterial cannulation in the ascending aorta. The systemic blood pump may be either a roller or centrifugal type. The cardioplegia delivery system (right) is a one- pass combination blood/ crystalloid type. The cooler- heater water source may be operated to supply water independently to both the oxygenator heat exchanger and cardioplegia delivery system. Some circuits do not incorporate a membrane recirculation line; in these cases, the cardioplegia blood source is a separate outlet connector built into the oxygenator near the arterial outlet. Safety features include the air bubble detector sensor which may be placed on the line between the venous reservoir and systemic pump (shown in red), or between the pump and membrane oxygenator inlet, or between the oxygenator outlet and arterial filter (neither shown), or on the line after the arterial filter (optional position on drawing). Areservoir level detector is shown attached to the housing of the hard- shell venous reservoir. An ultrasonic flowmeter distal to shunts provides an accurate measure of patient flow. Aone- way valve, to prevent retrograde flow with a centrifugal arterial pump, is shown on the systemic flow line. Other safety devices include an oxygen analyser placed between the anaesthetic vaporizer (if used) and the oxygenator gas inlet. Arrows indicate direction of flow, bright red depicts arterial blood flow, blue venous blood flow; X, placement of tubing clamps; P and T (within circles), pressure and temperature sensors, respectively.

e lack of denitive data to dictate the selection of some compo­nents of the circuit results in enormous variation between centres while producing seemingly similar clinical outcomes. Registry data from the STS Cardiac Surgical Database, the PERForm perfusion registry, and the Australian New Zealand Collaborative Perfusion Registry (ANZCPR) challenge this view as they demonstrate
enormous variation in outcomes in part inuenced by the choice of components used in the CPB circuit.
Monitoring, safety, and electronic perfusionrecords
Safety systems (positive and negative pressure regulation, ow, low reservoir level, bubble), integrated reporting systems (pressures,

ow, temperature), and continuous inline blood gas monitoring de­vices provide the perfusionist with an environment to conduct safe CPB. All heart- lung machines include a microprocessor- controlled safety interface with their pump consoles. ese systems monitor and control pump function and serve as the primary mechanical safety control system for regulating extracorporeal ow, allowing servo regulation for preset pressure limits and may consist of early­warning alarms that alert the user to events such as changes in arterial line pressures or venous reservoir levels, or they respond to abrupt changes, such as increases in pressure, or microbubble activity, and will automatically turn o a pump when preset limits are exceeded.
Electronic perfusion records can serve as the conuence to merge safety monitoring data with clinical information generated in the operating room. Physiological patient data from the anaesthesia and perfusion monitoring devices and output data from the heart– lung machine and peripheral equipment (e.g. inline blood gas analysers, coagulation devices, heater/ cooler units, and regional oximetry monitors) can be integrated into a single point- of- care source that displays and stores essential clinical data during and aer the sur­gical procedure. e electronic perfusion record provides valuable, continuous real- time monitoring of both arterial and venous satur­ation values used to calculate essential perfusion parameters such as oxygen delivery, oxygen consumption, and venous CO values. is provides the clinician with additional information by which to customize the delivery of care to the patient. It also oers the oppor­tunity for supporting decision- making in real time, from simple re­minders (e.g. to measure activated clotting time (ACT), cardioplegia intervals), to more complicated integrated decision algorithms (e.g. pharmacological intervention). Further, new- generation electronic perfusion record solutions now oer continuous critical care param­eter compliance monitoring to not only improve clinician response time during support, but to quantify, in duration, the patient’s ex­posure to conditions outside of departmental clinical compliance protocols. At the conclusion of the surgical procedure, automated and manually inputted data collected during CPB are incorporated into the electronic perfusion perioperative record, which can be up­loaded to a secure server and used for quality assurance and im­provement activities.
accepted target ow rates of 2.2– 2.4 L/ min/ m at normothermia, with reductions in ow corresponding with patient hypothermia, have been the standard; however, evidence for such practices lack scientic support. Similarly, there is much variation in pressure management. e range for normal cerebral autoregulation has consistently provided a basis for maintaining pressure in the range of 40– 80mmHg. Ongoing work from researchers at Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore, MA, USA) continue to explore the relation­ship between pressure and optimal perfusion using cerebral oxim­etry to assess cerebral perfusion. e recent trial by Vedel et al. failed to show dierences between a high- target (70– 80 mmHg) and low- target (40– 50mmHg) perfusion pressure strategy with re­spect to cerebral infarction. e recently published randomized Goal Directed Perfusion trial has continued to focus attention on the balance of oxygen delivery and consumption and emphasizes the balance between ow, haemoglobin concentration, and oxygen saturation and the importance of maintaining oxygen delivery (DO) above a critical value to reduce the likelihood of kidney in­jur y. e current evidence on DO and carbon dioxide production (VCO) suggests that calculated DO levels should be maintained above 260– 280 mL/ min/ m. e evidence supporting maintaining a ratio of DO/ VCO greater than 5 is limited. Further research is needed to validate these values in relation to patient outcomes. To achieve these indices, the arterial pump ow and the haemo­globin concentration provide the signicant modiable factors for the surgical team.
e use of pulsatile bypass has been extensively studied. Some have reported benecial eects at both the cellular and micro­vascular levels and with clinical outcome benets; however, other reports have not supported these ndings. e major issue under­lying the evaluation of pulsatility and bypass has been the ability to generate a physiologically signicant pulsatile wave. Arecent meta­analysis of the use of prophylactic intra- aortic balloon pump in high risk CABG patients reported a reduction in perioperative and 30­day mortality. ese data further support continued investigation of the possible role of pulsatile perfusion in routine clinical manage­ment. Observational data from clinical registries may to help drive the demand for prospective randomized controlled trials to evaluate this topic.
Techniques forcardiopulmonarybypass
CPB techniques vary enormously and such details can directly im­pact long- term patient outcomes. High- performing clinical teams incorporate best practices by balancing experience, scientic evi­dence, and clinical guidelines to develop local protocols. When coupled with data collection and imbedded quality improvement, these protocols ensure the ongoing improvement of patient care and outcome.
Ideal perfusion support has not been clearly dened. Guidelines and recommendations for some aspects have been published–  and other practices can be supported by research and consensus, collect­ively providing support for the development and implementation of institutional protocols.
Flow, pressure, and oxygendelivery
Best practice currently targets blood ows and haemodynamic pressures to meet the metabolic needs of the patient. Commonly
Avoidance ofemboli
Methods to avoid microbubble generation and transmission from the CPB circuit must be implemented. e association of microbubbles and poor outcomes has been demonstrated. Manufactures have engineered oxygenator and lter design to re­duce or minimize generation of microbubbles. More recent lit­erature has reported variation between dierent devices and the ability to handle embolic loads in laboratory and clinical situations. e characteristics of emboli handling must be considered when each component of the CBP circuit is selected, and when surgical eld venting and suction is utilized. e use of cardiotomy suc­tion for retrieval of shed blood pooling outside of the pericardium may introduce liquid fat emboli from the subcutaneous tissue and sternum to the CPB circuit. e liquid composition of the fat fa­cilitates passage through the ltration mechanisms of the circuit and can emulsify in the distal circulation of the patient. e pres­ence of brain lipid emboli was identied in a canine model when the use of cardiotomy suction was employed. Peer- reviewed literature
23 Management ofcardiopulmonarybypass 195
https://t.me/medicina_free
has questioned the indiscriminate use of cardiotomy suction during CABG surgery. Alternative strategies for blood conservation and recovery can be performed to avoid the deleterious eects of pump suction.
Perfusion techniques during CPB are important in reducing the embolic load, including reducing perfusion interventions (such as introducing air emboli with drug and uid administration), elim­inating the entrainment of air into the venous line both by appro­priate xation and removal of air prior to establishment of bypass, and the use of electronic venous line occluders to reduce venous air entrainment. e addition of cerebral embolic protection devices (lters) received some early support; however, the most recent ran­domized controlled trial of these devices has shown them not to sig­nicantly impact cerebral infarction.
Temperaturemanagement
Clinical practice guidelines for temperature management during CPB were published in 2015, providing clinical teams with guid­ance for temperature monitoring and practice. CABG surgery is now commonly performed with mild hypothermic or tepid bypass (30– 34°C). Particular attention must be given to surrogate measures for cerebral perfusate temperature (arterial outlet temperatures), the avoidance of hyperthermia, and the rate of rewarming. As an ac­ceptable surrogate to cerebral temperature, the arterial outlet blood temperature should not be permitted to exceed 37.0°C (classI, level of evidence C). However, the design of the arterial temperature monitoring probe may result in an underestimation of the true tem­perature by as much as 0.67°C. ese aws in the accuracy of the measurement stress the importance of avoiding even mild degrees of hyperthermia.
Blood gasmanagement
Alpha- stat pH management for CABG as recommended by Shann etal. for patients undergoing CPB with modest hypothermia is the mainstay of CABG pH management and has not been challenged in recent times.
Avoidance ofanaemia
Anaemia on bypass has been reported to be detrimental to pa­tient outcome. Blood conservation clinical practice guidelines for cardiac surgery recommend that the entire cardiac surgical team should ensure all consideration is given to avoiding reducing the patient’s haematocrit during bypass. Circuit volume minimiza­tion to reduce priming volume is one technique for helping opti-
aim for intraoperative management is to maintain near- normal serum glucose values during bypass. ese recommendations suggest that monitoring glucose during bypass is essential in all patients. Current literature is challenging managing elevated glu­cose levels the same for both diabetic and non- diabetic patients, with intensive care unit literature suggesting that the target glu­cose levels for diabetic patients and non- diabetic patients may dier. e recent Intensive Versus Conservative Glucose Control in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Gra Surgery (GLUCO- CABG) trial indicated that there was no observed benet demonstrated in diabetic patients who received intensive glucose management compared to non- diabetic patients in whom a signicant benet was realized. e authors suggested that dia­betic patients who were hyperglycaemic may not do better if their glucose is aggressively managed. More research on this topic is needed.
Other areas ofmanagement
Some areas of management have no clear directions from the lit­erature, most notably the choice of prime. Crystalloid primes (e.g. Plasma- Lyte®, Ringer’s solution, Hartmann’s solution) provide the majority (by volume) of priming solutions. Registry data (PERForm and ANZCPR) and survey data demonstrate a wide variation in priming solutions and additives used for CPB. Local protocols de­ning practice can reduce variation within institutions and practice groups.
Common haemodynamic problems during cardiopulmonarybypass
Early recognition and mitigation of conditions that interfere with adequate tissue perfusion during CPB protect the patient from in­jury. Problems related to cannulation and positioning of the heart to gain exposure to target coronary artery vessels on the posterior surface of the heart may interrupt systemic blood ow, resulting in venous or cardiac congestion. ese problems oen present as a low reservoir volume, reduced systemic blood ow, and hypotension. Blood loss to plural spaces or excessive use of a discard suction or cell saver suction may also contribute to reduced blood ow rate.
Table 23.1 lists some of these common problems, their aetiology,
and practical mitigation strategies. Communication between the surgeon and perfusionist regarding the adequacy of perfusion, par­ticularly at the initiation of CPB and when the heart is positioned or retracted to perform posterior distal coronary anastomoses, is
essential. mize uid balance during CPB support to minimize haemodilution. Acute normovolaemic haemodilution, retrograde autologous priming, vigilant uid management, and autotransfusion recovery systems all work to preserve the red cell mass of the patient. e
Assessing and supporting evidence- based practices forcardiopulmonarybypass
incremental benet of each of these techniques results in much higher bypass haemoglobin level on bypass when utilized together. See Chapter26 for a detailed discussion of blood management in CABG surgery.
Glucosemanagement
Guidelines for the glucose management for CABG were published by the STS/ SCA for adult cardiac surgery in 2009. Currently, the recommendations focus on glucose level management di­chotomized at 180 mg/ dL and diabetic status of the patient. e
The technologies and practices of CPB for CABG described
previously demonstrate the need for perfusion teams to under-
stand the requirement to practise in a manner that leverages
the best available knowledge available and to supplement best
evidence- based perfusion with experiential- based practices
through the development of rigorous institutional protocols to
provide clinical teams and patients with the most rigorous per-
fusion standards. Medical practice currently has invested in the
use of evidence- based clinical practice guidelines. In CABG

surgery, the guideline published in 2011 had few CPB- related actions; more recently, the STS published blood management guidelines which provide direction for clinical teams (currently under revision), as does the work of the Perfusion Task force of the STS, the SCA, and the American Society of Extracorporeal Technology (AmSECT) which has published clinical practice guidelines on temperature management and anticoagulation, and is working towards additional documents.,, Professional groups including AmSECT, the Society of Clinical Perfusion Scientists and the College of Clinical Perfusion Scientists of Great Britain and Ireland, and the Australian and New Zealand College of Perfusion have developed standards and
