Question: What are the steps to changing out an oxygenator while on CPB?

ChatGPT’s Answer

Changing out an oxygenator during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a high-risk, expert-level perfusion procedure...

⭐ High-Level Overview...

The overall goal is to:

  1. Maintain patient perfusion and oxygenation.
  2. Isolate the failing oxygenator.
  3. Bring a primed replacement oxygenator online.
  4. Minimize interruption of flow and avoid introducing air.

ChatGPT's Answer: Long, poorly-worded and written in a way that has neither the vocabulary of a perfusionist or the level of detail that a perfusionist who is asking the question would desire.

Perfusion Mind’s Answer

The steps to change out the oxygenator during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) are as follows:

1. Inform the surgical team that you think it is necessary to change out the oxygenator.

2. Depending on the circumstances... consider cooling the patient and increasing the FiO2 to 100%...

3. Prepare to change out the oxygenator...

  • A new, primed oxygenator...
  • Tubing clamps...
  • Normal saline-filled bulb syringes...

4. Prep the part of the lines...

5. When the surgeon has indicated...

6. Using two tubing clamps...

7. Using a bulb syringe, make a wet-to-wet connection...

8. Apply 1 more clamp...

9. Using a bulb syringe...

10. Attach the oxygen line...

11. Remove all clamps and resume flow...

Perfusion Mind's Answer: Concise, accurate, detailed and worded in a way that makes sense to perfusionists.
