Since the first successful use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), much has changed in its technology, area of use, and management. Despite suggestions in guidelines, the institutional behavior may change based on institutional experience and established habits. This so-called "deviation" may alter management strategies in favorable or unfavorable ways. As the official Cardiopulmonary Bypass Study Group of the Association of Perfusionists in Türkiye, we aimed to document the current state of CPB management in Türkiye and make suggestions based on current guidelines. A 20-item questionnaire e-mailed to 682 perfusionists in 110 centers in Türkiye, and 177 (25.95%) responses were recorded from 97 centers. The questionnaire included main parameters regarding the management of CPB. We believe that by documenting the current state of CPB management strategies in Türkiye, suboptimal management strategies can be improved and suggestions for more favorable outcomes can be made.
