Adjusting gas flow during heart surgery rewarming
Re-Adjustment of Sweep Gas Flow to the During the Rewarming Period of the Cardiopulmonary Bypass to Prevent Alkalosis
This study is testing the best way to adjust gas flow during heart surgery to help patients avoid complications as they warm up after surgery.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to determine the optimal sweep gas flow during the rewarming phase of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) to prevent alkalosis caused by decreased CO2 solubility as temperature increases. By adjusting the sweep gas flow, the study seeks to identify the best practices for managing gas flow during this critical period. The study will involve patients undergoing elective CPB surgery and will monitor the effects of these adjustments on patient outcomes.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults over 18 years old scheduled for elective cardiopulmonary bypass surgery.
Not a fit: Patients undergoing minimally invasive surgery, robotic cardiac surgery, deep hypothermia, total circulatory arrest, or those with high FiO2 requirements may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance patient safety and outcomes during heart surgeries involving cardiopulmonary bypass.
How similar studies have performed: While the specific approach of adjusting sweep gas flow during rewarming is novel, similar studies have explored gas management during CPB with varying degrees of success.
