Is There an Upper Limit to Cardiopulmonary Bypass Times?
Journal Title: Annals of Circulation - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: There are no safe operations in cardiac surgery. Every operation can possibly go wrong. We therefore retrospectively evaluated all cardiac operations lasting more than 300 minutes of bypass time at our institution to evaluate outcome and factors relevant for perioperative mortality and morbidity. Methods: We retrospectively included patients receiving cardiac operations or operations at the great vessels with cardiopulmonary bypass times above 300 minutes operated from 1/1/1996 until 12/1/2012 in our study. Patients receiving lung or heart or combined heart and lung transplantations were excluded from our study. 240 patients were included in our study. CPB times, clamp times and operation times were 356.53 ± 55.06 min, 166.18± 65.95 min, 500.47± 96.56 min respectively. Euro score of patients was 14.92 ± 15.35 (range 0.64-79.48).
