METHODS OF MYOCARDIAL MANAGEMENT DURING CARDIAC SURGERY, part 2

Cardiac and General Anesthesiology

Moderately Hypothermic Intermittent Global Myocardial Ischemia Intermittent cardiac ischemia with moderate cardiac hypothermia requires performing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) with a perfusate temperature between 25C and 30C. During this method, the surgeon operates on or in the heart for 10 to 15 minutes while the ascending aorta is clamped (stopping coronary perfusion) or individual coronary perfusion is paused.
