Hypothermia, Cardiac Surgery, and Cardiopulmonary Bypass

  • Chapter
Cardiopulmonary Bypass

Abstract

The ability to control a patient’s body temperature within a very wide range is one of the most important therapeutic modalities available to the cardiac surgeon, anesthesiologist, and perfusionist. Hypothermia facilitates coronary arterial bypass surgery, heart valve repair or replacement, and the correction of congenital cardiac defects. Furthermore, precise anatomic correction of complex congenital heart defects, in a bloodless and motionless surgical field, is possible even in tiny premature infants during profoundly hypothermic total circulatory arrest. The technology of deep hypothermia and total circulatory arrest also is useful in operations on the thoracic aorta, the aortic arch, the brachiocephalic vessels, and the brain, during which cerebral or spinal cord blood flow is compromised or interrupted. Therapeutic clinical hypothermia, usually used for support of the patient during operation on or within the heart, requires uniform cooling of the entire body.
