Abstract
The successful outcome of a cardiac surgery procedure is significantly dependent on the management of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Even if a cardiac operation is technically well-conducted, a patient may suffer CPB-related complications that could result in severe comorbidities, reduced quality of life, or even death. However, the role of clinical perfusionists in perioperative patient care, which is critical, is often overlooked. Therefore, the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS), the European Association of Cardiothoracic Anaesthesiology (EACTA), and the European Board of Cardiovascular Perfusion (EBCP) have agreed to develop joint clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for CPB due to its significant impact on patient care and significant variations in practice patterns between countries. The European guidelines, based on the EACTS standardized framework for the development of CPGs, cover the entire spectrum of CPB management in adult cardiac surgery. This includes training and education of clinical perfusionists, machine hardware, disposables, preparation for initiation of CPB, a complete set of procedures during CPB to help maintain end-organ function and anticoagulation, weaning from CPB, and the gaps in evidence and future research directions. This comprehensive coverage ensures that all aspects of CPB management are addressed, providing clinicians with a standardized approach to CPB management based on the latest evidence and best practices. To ensure better integration of these evidence-based recommendations into daily practice, this review aims to provide a general understanding of guideline development and an overview of essential treatment recommendations for CPB management.

Abstract
Background The effects of fat microembolization due to cardiopulmonary bypass are well known in cardiac surgery. Our aim is to evaluate the use of the RemoweLL device (Eurosets, Medolla, Italy) during elective aortic valve replacement in elderly patients (>70 years old) to rate its biochemical and clinical effects. The RemoweLL device is an oxygenator-integrated reservoir which combines two strategies for fat emboli and leucocytes removal: filtration and supernatant elimination. Methods Forty-four elderly patients were enrolled and assigned randomly to a Group A (standard device) and a Group B (RemoweLL). Biochemical effects were evaluated by blood samples, which were tested for white blood cells, neutrophils, protein SP-100 and interleukin 6 besides standard lab tests. Our clinical endpoints were any type of neurological, cardiac, respiratory, gastrointestinal or renal complications, and length of stay in the intensive care unit. Statistical analysis was carried out with chi square test for non-parametric data; t test and analysis of variance for repeated measures were used for parametric data. Results Group B showed lower levels of white blood cells, neutrophils, interleukin 6 and protein SP-100 immediately and 24 hours after the operation. Group B also showed a lower amount of neurocognitive type II dysfunction even if the length of stay in the ICU did not change. Conclusions The RemoweLL system is safe and effective in reducing inflammatory response to cardiopulmonary bypass and it could be a useful tool in minimizing negative effects of cardiopulmonary bypass; however, it does not seem to have any effect on elderly patients' hospital stay.
