The optimal cardiopulmonary bypass temperature for neurological outcomes remains debated. While hypothermia (<35°C) may protect the brain, temperatures above 37°C risk injury.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Neurology
  • Critical Care Medicine

Background:

  • The optimal temperature for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) during cardiac surgery is debated, with conflicting evidence regarding neurological outcomes.
  • Studies compare normothermic (warm) versus hypothermic (cold) CPB, but results are often inconclusive and difficult to interpret.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically evaluate the existing literature on CPB temperature and its impact on neurological outcomes.
  • To determine if warm or cold CPB offers superior neuroprotection.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review and meta-analysis of comparative studies on CPB temperature and neurological outcomes.
  • Assessment of brain function using neurological and neuropsychological assessments.
  • Biomarker analysis for brain damage (e.g., protein S100beta).

  • Cerebral oxygenation monitoring (jugular bulb oximetry, near-infrared spectroscopy).

    • Main Results:

    • No definitive proof supports the superiority of either warm or cold CPB for neurological outcomes.
    • Evidence suggests that any degree of hypothermia during CPB (below 35°C) may confer brain protection.
    • Conversely, even mild hyperthermia (above 37°C) during CPB is associated with significant brain injury.

    Conclusions:

    • While the debate continues, hypothermia during CPB appears to offer neuroprotective benefits.
    • Maintaining CPB temperature below 35°C is advisable to minimize the risk of neurological damage.
    • Temperatures exceeding 37°C during CPB should be strictly avoided due to increased risk of brain injury.
