Consist of hollow microporous polypropylene fibres (100–200 μm internal diameter). [oxygenators]
Membrane oxygenators
26
These are generally made of PVC, due to PVC's durability and acceptable haemolysis rate.
Tubing
27
They collect the blood drained from the heart.
Reservoirs
28
[2] Types of reservoirs.
1. Open reservoirs 2. Close reservoirs
29
More commonly used. [reservoirs]
Open reservoirs
30
They allow passive removal of entrained venous air along with the option of applying vacuum to assist drainage. [reservoirs]
Open reservoirs
31
Have a limited volume capacity, but offer a smaller area of blood contact with artificial surfaces. [reservoirs]
Closed reservoirs
32
This produces less inflammatory activation (lesser contact with foreign antigens), better sterility and reduces postoperative transfusion. [reservoirs]
Closed reservoirs
33
They, however, require a separate circuit for processing suctioned blood. [reservoirs]
Closed reservoirs
34
It is a method of myocardial protection where the heart is perfused with a solution to cause electromechanical arrest which reduces myocardial oxygen consumption.
Cardioplegia system
35
It is inserted proximally while the aortic cannula is distal to the clamp.
Cardioplegia cannula
36
[3] Mechanical Complications [AVO]
1. Arterial complications 2. Venous complications 3. Other complications
37
Cannulation can be associated with bleeding, cannula malposition causing selective cerebral perfusion, plaque dislodgement and dissection. [mechanical complications]
Arterial cannulation
38
Cannulation can be associated with bleeding, cannula malposition/air lock causing an inadequate return, leading to cerebral and splanchnic congestion. [mechanical complications]
Venous complication
39
[2] Complications
1. Mechanical 2. Systemic
40
CPB causes qualitative and quantitative platelet dysfunction. [complication]
Systemic complication
41
It can occur due to cross clamping of the aorta in spite of cardioplegia. [systemic complication]
Subclinical myocardial injury
42
They employ artificial blood pumps to propel open-heart surgery patients' blood through their body tissue, replacing the function of the heart while the cardiac surgeon operates.
Perfusionists
43
The rate and force of heart contractions change to meet the metabolic needs of the tissues, which vary depending on such conditions as rest, exercise, and changes in body position.
Regulating blood supply
44
[4] Functions of the heart
1. Generating blood pressure 2. Routing blood 3. Ensuring one way blood flow 4. Regulating blood supply
45
It may improve platelet preservation, renal function and neurological outcomes in longer cases. [pump
Centrifugal pump
46
This action can produce haemolysis and tubing debris, the incidence of which increases with time. [pump]
Roller pump
47
They are made of polyvinylchloride (PVC) and are wire reinforced to prevent obstruction due to kinking.
Cannulae
48
Calculations are performed to determine necessary blood flow and if blood or other products are needed. [conduct of cardiopulmonary bypass]
Pre-bypass
49
The deairing of CPB circuit is done by priming solutions, consisting of a mixture of crystalloids and colloids. [conduct of cardiopulmonary bypass]
Priming
50
It causes haemodilution which improves flows during hypothermia. Heparin 3–4 units/ml is added to the prime. [conduct of cardiopulmonary bypass]
Priming
51
During arterial cannulation, systolic pressure should be? [initiation]
90–100 mm Hg
52
Perfusion pressure is used as a surrogate marker of organ perfusion and should be maintained between 50 and 70 mmHg. [conduct of cardiopulmonary bypass]
Anesthesia and monitoring on CPB
53
It can cause inflammatory response and hypotension.
Acute kidney injury (AKI)
54
Inflammatory response and hypotension can cause acute kidney injury (AKI). Risk factors are prolonged bypass time, sepsis and diabetes. [complication]
Systemic complications
55
The spectrum of cerebral injury ranges from cognitive dysfunction to stroke. [complications]
Systemic complications
56
A broader term used synonymously, both include various modalities of temporary mechanical cardiopulmonary assistance used to support patients with severe heart and/or lung failure which is unresponsive to optimal conventional care.
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) and Extracorporeal Life Support (ECLS)
57
Safe temperature margin: [temperature management]
28 to 30 C
58
Calculations are performed to determine necessary blood flow and if blood or other products are needed. [conduct of cardiopulmonary bypass]

Priming
61
During arterial cannulation, systolic pressure should be 90–100 mm Hg to reduce the risk of aortic dissection. [conduct of cardiopulmonary bypass]
Initiation
62
Perfusion pressure is used as a surrogate marker of organ perfusion and should be maintained between 50 and 70 mmHg. [conduct of cardiopulmonary bypass]
Anesthesia and Monitoring on CPB
63
Hypertensive patients and those at risk for stroke require higher flows and perfusion pressures to maintain organ perfusion. [conduct of cardiopulmonary bypass]
Anesthesia and Monitoring CPB
64
Blood level in the reservoir should be monitored to prevent air embolism. [conduct of cardiopulmonary bypass]
Anesthesia and Monitoring of CPB
65
Central venous pressure (CVP) should be low. High CVP indicates a poor venous return. [conduct of cardiopulmonary bypass]
Anesthesia and Monitoring of CPB
66
Hypothermia is frequently used during CPB for its presumed organ protective effects. [conduct of cardiopulmonary bypass]
Temperature Management
67
Blood viscosity increases with hypothermia and allows maintenance of a higher perfusion pressure despite haemodilution. [conduct of cardiopulmonary bypass]
Temperature Management
68
Normothermic bypass: less platelet dysfunction and higher blood flow which increases trauma. [conduct of cardiopulmonary bypass]
Temperature management
69
During and after CPB removes inflammatory mediators and excess fluid thereby producing haemoconcentration. [conduct of cardiopulmonary bypass]
