Impairment of Hepatosplanchnic Oxygenation and Increase of Serum Hyaluronate During Normothermic and Mild Hypothermic Cardiopulmonary Bypass

Abstract

Hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells (SECs) are pivotal in the regulation of sinusoidal blood flow. This study showed that SEC function might be impaired during and after cardiopulmonary bypass, irrespective of the temperature management.
