Effects of Cardiac Surgery and Cardio-Pulmonary Bypass on Human Immune System

  • Chapter
Basic Aspects of Blood Trauma

Abstract

Rates of postoperative bacterial infections are high in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) (1,2). These data suggest that host defence mechanisms may be impaired in the postoperative period. The purpose of this study is a reappraisal of the postoperative immune status in these patients since several investigations have reported its deficiency (3–5) while others found it normal (6,7).
