Rheological and biochemical changes in open heart surgery with extracorporeal circulation and moderate hypothermia.
The plasma enzymes, glucose, urea nitrogen, total and conjugated bilirubin, osmolality, acid--base balance and rheological data have been studied in a group of patients who underwent open heart surgery to replace the stenotic or insufficient aortic valve. The aim of this study was to assess our operative conditions and to compare results with those obtained by other authors.
