Cardiopulmonary bypass perfusion management significantly affects postoperative outcomes. In recent years, the principles of goal-directed therapy have been applied to the field of cardiothoracic surgery to improve patient outcomes. Goal-directed therapy involves continuous peri- and postoperative monitoring of vital clinical parameters to tailor perfusion to each patient's specific needs. Closely measured parameters include fibrinogen, platelet count, lactate, venous oxygen saturation, central venous oxygen saturation, mean arterial pressure, perfusion flow rate, and perfusion pulsatility. These parameters have been shown to influence postoperative fresh frozen plasma transfusion rate, coagulation state, end-organ perfusion, and mortality. In this review, we discuss the recent paradigm shift in pediatric perfusion management toward goal-directed perfusion.

We present a case of severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) in a 21-month old female undergoing cardiac surgery for a ventricular septal defect and subaortic membrane excision. During the operation, a milky white supernatant was observed in the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit, prompting immediate lipid profile testing that revealed elevated triglycerides. The management involved maintaining anticoagulation with heparin dose-response testing and ensuring oxygenator function by measuring blood gas analysis, lactate, and arterial line pressure.

It remains controversial as to which optimal cannulation strategy ought to be employed in surgery for type A aortic dissection (TAAD). The aim of this study was to make a comparison of the clinical outcomes between single and double arterial cannulation. From January 2018 to December 2022, 403 individuals with TAAD were recruited for the study and were divided into two groups based on the cannulation approach.

Background: Monitoring core temperature is important for patients under anesthesia. Esophageal and pulmonary artery blood temperatures can be used for measuring core temperature during general anesthesia. However, these methods pose challenges, especially when the placement of an esophageal thermometer and pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) is either impractical or not the preferred approach.

Article Synopsis
  • Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) are crucial techniques in cardiac surgery that can lead to neuroinflammation through microglia activation in the central nervous system.
  • Research typically focuses on conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's but pays less attention to how these processes occur during cardiac surgery.
  • This review highlights the need to explore microglia’s role in neuroinflammation related to CPB and DHCA, aiming to improve patient outcomes and guide future treatment strategies for cardiac surgery patients.
