Guidelines update on adult CPB
This update presents a revision of the 2019 EACTS/EACTA/EBCP guidelines on cardiopulmonary bypass in adult cardiac surgery, emerging from a collaborative effort among the EBCP, EACTAIC and EACTS to establish guidance for unified clinical practice guidelines (CPB) practice.
With recent advances in research that unveiled new evidence related to CPB, an update to the 2019 guidelines was necessary.
The revised guidelines reaffirm the foundational practices and incorporate new recommendations that, following the autors, align with the latest evidence-based medicine and contemporary European clinical practices.
They expand the guideline's scope with additional sections addressing crucial topics such as temperature management and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA).
However, the necessity for further research persists, and this iteration of the guidelines emphasizes the ongoing need for scientific inquiry and trials in various CPB domains.
