Cardiopulmonary Bypass Strategies to Maintain Brain Perfusion during Lung Transplantation in a Patient with Severe Hypercapnia.

Cardiopulmonary Bypass Strategies to Maintain Brain Perfusion during Lung Transplantation in a Patient with Severe Hypercapnia. Korean J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2019 Feb;52(1):58-60 Authors: Sohn B, Park S, Lee HJ, Jeong JH, Choi SM, Lee SM, Seo JH, Kim YT Abstract Herein, we report a case of lung transplantation in a patient with profound preoperative hypercapnia, focusing on the cardiopulmonary bypass strategy used for brain perfusion during the operation. We applied the pH-stat method for acid-base regulation, and thereby achieved the desired outcome without any neurologic deficit. PMID: 30834222 [PubMed]
