Today,
heart-lung
machines are barely the size of a small refrigerator.
Hospitals have full-time
staff to operate them. Of
course, there
are still complications: blood cells get chewed up
in the plastic and metal apparatus and patients suffer strokes. A
small but significant number of patients have some degree of
cognitive impairment afterward, such as memory and attention
deficits and language problems, a condition known as “pump
head,” which can persist years after
surgery and in many cases
is probably irreversible. The cause is unclear but may include
tiny blood clots or bubbles,
inadequate blood flow to the brain
during surgery, the dislodgement of fatty material from the
aorta, and brain inflammation.

I potenziali benefici ipotizzati per l’intervento di bypass coronarico off-pump (rispetto alle procedure on-pump) sono la ridotta mortalità, la riduzione del rischio di AKI (e in particolare, di dialisi in acuto, che è associata con una mortalità perioperatoria del 42% secondo il database della Society of Thoracic Surgeon), la riduzione del rischio di disfunzioni cerebrali (legate a ictus e disfunzione neurocognitiva, quest'ultima talora indicata come “pump head”

Brain damage during bypass surgery is so common that hospital personnel refer to it as "pump head." The primary cause is emboli produced during surgery from clamping the aorta and from the "heart-lung machine." This machine pumps blood to keep the patient alive while the heart is stopped during the operation. Unfortunately, this pump also introduces toxic gases, fat globules, and bits of plastic debris into the bloodstream of the patient under anesthesia. Once they are in the bloodstream, these particles migrate to the brain where they can clog capillaries and prevent adequate amounts of blood and oxygen from flowing to the brain. Essentially, all patients experience brain emboli during surgery and for many the damage is permanent
