Association between gastric intramucosal pH and splanchnic endotoxin, antibody to endotoxin, and tumor necrosis factor-α concentrations in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To determine the association between gastric intramucosal pH, a minimally invasive marker reflecting the adequacy of oxygen delivery to the gastrointestinal tract, and splanchnic endotoxin, antibody to endotoxin, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha concentrations in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass.
DESIGN: Single-arm, prospective study.
