    Potassium levels decrease before cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), rise during the procedure, and fall again post-surgery. Supplementation strategies may be needed to manage these potassium variances during CPB.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Anesthesiology
    • Clinical Chemistry

    Background:

    • Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a critical procedure in cardiac surgery.
    • Maintaining electrolyte balance, particularly potassium levels, is crucial during CPB.
    • Hemodilution techniques can influence electrolyte concentrations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the dynamic changes in serum potassium (K+) levels during CPB.
    • To assess the relationship between potassium levels and the need for potassium replacement therapy.
    • To analyze potassium level fluctuations in patients undergoing CPB with specific equipment and hemodilution protocols.

    Main Methods:

    • Observation of sixty patients undergoing CPB.
    • Utilized Travenol 6 L. variflow oxygenator bag.

  • Employed total hemodilution with Ringer's lactate and 5% dextrose.
  • Monitored potassium levels at various stages: pre-CPB, during CPB, and post-CPB (including 24-hour postoperative).

    • Main Results:

    • A significant drop in potassium levels was observed before CPB initiation compared to pre-admission levels.
    • Potassium levels increased during the CPB procedure.
    • Following CPB, potassium levels decreased again, followed by a rise in the first 24 hours postoperative.

    Conclusions:

    • Potassium levels exhibit significant and predictable fluctuations throughout the CPB process.
    • The observed pattern suggests a need for careful monitoring and potential potassium replacement strategies.
    • Understanding these variances is essential for optimizing patient management and outcomes during and after cardiac surgery.
