Background Recent study of the inflammatory reactions occurring during and after
cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has improved our understanding of the involvement of the …

Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) induces an acute phase reaction that
has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several postoperative complications. Recent …

Cardiac surgery has been routinely performed using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) ever
since its clinical introduction during the 1950s. CPB is, however, associated with an intense …

Introduction: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) induces an inflammatory response believed to
contribute to postoperative morbidity. We hypothesized that the magnitude of the …

The demographic of cardiac surgery patients continues to evolve to include older, sicker
candidates, all the while maintaining an expectation of excellent outcomes. These latter …

The systemic inflammatory response after coronary artery bypass grafting using
cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) contributes substantially to postoperative organ dysfunction …

The systemic endotoxemia that occurs with the institution of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)
is a potent stimulus for the release of proinflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis …

Cardiac operations with cardiopulmonary bypass cause a systemic inflammatory response,
which can lead to organ injury and postoperative morbidity. Causative factors include …

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is characterized by systemic endotoxemia immediately after
its onset as well as the systemic release of proinflammatory cytokines, including tumor …

Inflammation in cardiac surgical patients is produced by complex humoral and cellular
interactions with numerous pathways including activation, generation, or expression of …
