Brief summary
Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has been used successfully for cardiac surgery for over half a century. Hypothermia became a ubiquitous practice for adult patients undergoing CPB. To date, most studies have been conducted in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patients with conflicting results. Current evidence does not support one temperature management strategy for all patients. The purpose of this study is to compare the efficiency and safety of normothermic versus hypothermic CPB in valvular surgery patients.
Interventions
Patients will be cooled to 31-32oC (nasopharyngeal) after the beginning of CPB. Rewarming will begin 10-15 min before release of aortic cross-clamp. The gradient between heat-exchanger and nasopharynx during rewarming will be maintained at 3oC. The rewarming will be stopped at 36,5oC
