Article Synopsis
  • The study explores how various antispastic agents and temperatures affect the free flow of the radial artery during coronary artery bypass grafting, emphasizing the risk of vasospasm associated with this artery.
  • Four groups were tested: topical 20°C normal saline, 36°C normal saline, 20°C diltiazem, and 36°C diltiazem, with flow measurements taken at different stages of preparation.
  • Results indicate that maintaining normal temperature (normothermia) is crucial, as it significantly helps reduce vasospasm and restore normal blood flow in the radial artery.
