Brief Summary
The goal of this observational study is to understand how oxygen consumption after heart surgery relates to blood flow problems and organ injury. The study focuses on patients over 18 years old who are having planned heart surgery with a heart-lung machine (cardiopulmonary bypass). The main questions the study aims to answer are:
- 1.How does oxygen consumption in the early hours after surgery relate to lactate levels (a sign of low oxygen supply to the tissues)?
- 2.How is oxygen consumption linked to signs of poor blood flow and organ injury (such as heart, kidney, liver, brain, and gut damage)?

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Difference in oxygen consumption in early postoperative hypoperfusion
Difference in oxygen consumption (VO2I via indirect calorimetry) in ml min-1 m-2 between patients with and without early hyperlactatemia (\>2mmol/L)
0-4 hours after surgery
Secondary Outcomes (3)
Evaluation of hypoperfusion parameters as predictors of postoperative oxygen consumption
0-24 hours after surgery
Evaluation of oxygen delivery and consumption during cardiopulmonary bypass as predictors of postoperative oxygen consumption
0-4 hours during and after surgery
Evaluation of organ injury biomarkers as predictors of postoperative oxygen consumption
Preoperative and the day after surgery
Interventions
After arrival to the ICU, prior to cessation of iv anaesthetics and extubation, indirect calorimetry will be performed by connecting a metabolic monitor to the ventilator during a minimum of 20 minutes.
