Gastric mucosal tonometry was used to determine the adequacy of gastrointestinal perfusion in 10 patients undergoing elective myccardial revascularization. Patients were prospectively randomized to receive either pulsatile or nonpulsatile flow during cardlopulmonary bypass. All patients showed a reduction in gastric mucosal perfusion during bypass, manifested by a reduction in the gastric mucosal pH, which occurred independently of variations in too arterial pH. In the group of patients receiving nonpuisatile flow, this reduction was significantly greater (p < 0.05). Cardiopulmonary bypass using nonpulsatife flow is associated with the development of a gastric mucosal acidosis, which may have implications for the development of postoperative complications.
