Abstract

In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that gastric mucosal red blood cell flux assessed by laser Doppler flowmetry could be improved by maintaining baseline systemic flow and oxygen delivery during hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass. Despite this strategy, gastric mucosal red blood cell flux decreased by 50% during hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass.
