Abstract

Conventional cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with progressive anasarca and hypoxic acidosis. The former is reduced by hetastarch, mannitol, furosemide, albumin and blood. Thirty six large nubian cross ungulates were subjected to CPB to test their capacity to act as oxygen yielding blood substitutes capable of reducing anasarca. A hyperosmolar oxygen-yielding blood substitute is feasible for CPB to enhance brain oxygenation and diminish anasarca. It decreases anasarca more than normo-osmolar crystalloid prime combined with hetastarch, mannitol, and furosemide. A large portion of the perfluorocarbon can be retrieved post-operatively.
