By sharing our experiences and querying the experiences of others, we aim to encourage a deeper understanding and wider adoption of these comprehensive care strategies, which could lead to improved standards of care in CPB procedures and better patient outcomes. Finally, it is crucial to address how consistently the pressure before the oxygenator is monitored, as understanding this practice may be pivotal in preventing high-pressure excursions. This question should form a central part of our ongoing dialogue in refining CPB protocols. Thank you again for the opportunity to contribute to this important conversation. I look forward to your insights and further advancements in the field of extracorporeal technology.
