Splanchnic oxygen transport and lactate metabolism during normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass in humans

The effect of normothermic (36.2[degree sign]C +/- 0.6[degree sign]C) nonpulsatile cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on splanchnic (hepatic) blood flow (SBF), splanchnic oxygen transport (DO2spl) and oxygen consumption (VO2spl), splanchnic lactate uptake and gastric mucosal pH (pHi, gastric tonometry) wa
