Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialNormothermic versus hypothermic perfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass. A randomized study on 132 patients.
A prospective randomized trial to compare normothermic CPB with hypothermic CPB has been performed. ⋯ In conclusion, we think that normothermic CPB is favourable because it can reduce costs, it can improve the management of a cardiac surgery unit and it is more comfortable for patients.
