Impact of Different Sweep Gas Flow Rates on Respiratory Alkalosis and Cerebral Oxygenation during Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: There is no consensus on the ideal sweep gas flow volume for achieving targeted blood partial gas pressures during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The sweep gas flow rate is one of the oxygenator's main gas exchange variables. High sweep gas flow rates can lead to respiratory and hypocapnic cerebral alkalosis, which can cause neurological complications.
