title: Carbon dioxide field flooding techniques for open heart surgery: monitoring and minimizing potential adverse effects.
abstract: The use of carbon dioxide for displacement of air in cardiac surgery can have potential adverse effects on blood gas strategies. Presented is a method of monitoring carbon dioxide in the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit and limiting the potential for severe hypercarbia during cardiopulmonary bypass.
