Increased cardiopulmonary bypass flow
In randomized order, CPB flow will be adjusted to 2,4, 2,7 and 3,0 L/min/m2. After 10 minutes of steady conditions at each level, measurements will be made.
Milrinone
"After weaning from CPB, patients with signs of cardiac failure (as defined below) will be given milrinone (0,04 mg/kg as a loading dose and 0,50 ug/kg/min as subsequent infusion). Measurements of systemic and renal variables will be made before and 30 minutes after the dose.~Indication: Central venous pressure (CVP) ≥ 12 mmHg AND/OR Pulmonary Capillary Wedge Pressure (PCWP) ≥ 16 mmHg AND Cardiac Index (CI) ≤ 2,1 L/min/m2 AND Pulse Pressure Variation (PPV) \< 12 %."
