Metabolic acidosis during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) may stem from iatrogenic fluid administration altering the strong ion difference (SID), not just hypoperfusion or hemodilution.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Cardiovascular Surgery

Background:

  • Metabolic acidosis is a common complication following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
  • Traditionally attributed to hypoperfusion, iatrogenic causes related to fluid administration are increasingly recognized.
  • Understanding the precise causes of metabolic acidosis during CPB is crucial for patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between metabolic acidosis during CPB and hypoperfusion, changes in strong ion difference (SID), or hemodilution.
  • To identify the primary drivers of metabolic acidosis in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with CPB.

Main Methods:

  • A study included 49 patients undergoing cardiac surgery with CPB.
  • Arterial blood samples were analyzed pre- and post-CPB for blood gases, electrolytes, and lactate.

  • Multivariate regression analysis was used to identify predictors of metabolic acidosis.

    • Main Results:

    • Changes in strong ion difference (SID) were identified as a significant predictor of metabolic acidosis during CPB.
    • Lactate concentration (as an indicator of hypoperfusion) and fluid volume (hemodilution) were not significant predictors.
    • Surgical institution also emerged as a predictor of metabolic acidosis variance.

    Conclusions:

    • Metabolic acidosis during CPB appears to be partly caused by iatrogenic decreases in SID due to fluid administration.
    • Hypoperfusion and hemodilution are less likely to be the primary drivers of metabolic acidosis in this context.
    • Findings suggest a need to reconsider fluid management strategies during cardiopulmonary bypass.
