[Whole-body oxygen consumption at different temperatures during cardiopulmonary bypass].
For evaluation of the adequacy of tissue perfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), whole-body oxygen consumption rates at different body weights and temperatures are basic and important data. But few studies have analyzed the oxygen consumption estimated from real-time data during CPB in clinical situations. We analyzed retrospectively the oxygen consumption at different body weights (BW) during normothermia (VO2 37) and the oxygen consumption ratio at different body temperatures (BT; %VO2X; X = BT) from the CPB charts of 189 cases. From these charts, 877 data points for oxygen consumption during total CPB were calculated by Fick's law. By statistical analysis of these data, we derived the following formulae: VO2 37 (ml/kg/min) = 7.6481 x BW0.0679, R2 = 1.0 (BW < 8 kg) VO2 37 (ml/kg/min) = 32.394 x BW-0.625, R2 = 0.92 (BW > or = 8 kg) %VO2X (%) = 4 x 10(-5) x BT4.0777, R2 = 0.42. These formulae indicate that (1) the whole-body oxygen consumption during total CPB can be measured by subtracting the oxygen consumption associated with circulatory and respiratory processes from the oxygen consumption derived from the basal metabolism; and (2) although the change in oxygen consumption induced by hypothermia is variable depending on body weight, the rate of change shows no difference regardless of the patient's weight.
