Plasma renin activity and urine beta 2-microglobulin during and after cardiopulmonary bypass: pulsatile vs non-pulsatile perfusion

in European Heart Journal (1990), 11(12), 1079-1082

Fourteen patients with normal preoperative renal function underwent aortocoronary bypass graft using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) with pulsatile (P;n = 7) or non pulsatile (NP;n = 7) perfusion. In the two ... [more ▼]

Fourteen patients with normal preoperative renal function underwent aortocoronary bypass graft using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) with pulsatile (P;n = 7) or non pulsatile (NP;n = 7) perfusion. In the two groups prebypass values of plasma renin activity (PRA) and urine beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2-M) were within normal limits. PRA increased significantly during CPB and the first 6 h after CPB only in the non-pulsatile group. In both groups, the urine beta 2-M level increased significantly during and after CPB; however, there was no significant difference in urine beta 2-M levels between the two groups. Also, the amount of beta 2-M excreted in urines per unit of time increased significantly in both groups during and after CPB; there was no significant difference between the two groups. [less ▲]

Interest of Face Mask--Cpap in One Case of Severe Accidental Hypothermia

one case of severe accidental hypothermia; rectal temperature was 25 degrees C. Hypoxemia unmodified by 100 O2 inhalation in an ordinary face-mask was easily corrected using a face-mask CPAP; a ventilation-perfusion mismatching could be implicated in the cold induced hypoxemia. Active rewarming (1.5 degrees C/h) was pursued from 25 to 37 degrees C, using non aggressive methods: warming blankets and a Bennett heated humidifier inserted in the CPAP system. Even in severe hypothermia successful results may be obtained without resort to sophisticated methods. [less ▲]

The value of serum CK-MB and myoglobin measurements for assessing perioperative myocardial infarction after cardiac surgery.

in Scandinavian Journal of Clinical & Laboratory Investigation (1986), 46(6), 519-26

In 41 patients who underwent coronary bypass surgery, creatine kinase (CK)-MB mass concentration was repeatedly measured in serum during and after the intervention using a new two-site immunoenzymetric assay (IEMA). Serum CK-MB activity was determined with the use of four different techniques: immunoinhibition, immunoinhibition-immunoprecipitation, column chromatography and electrophoresis. Myoglobin (Mb) was also measured in each specimen by radioimmunoassay. In the 33 patients who followed a completely uneventful postoperative course, the cumulated CK-MB release was, on the average, 12.2-fold less than after acute myocardial infarction. The CK-MB peak concentrations using the IEMA were 33 +/- 3 micrograms/l (X +/- SEM) and occurred 6.4 +/- 0.5 h after the intervention was started; CK-MB levels had decreased to 2.9 +/- 0.4 micrograms/l at the end of the first postoperative day. The evolution of the CK-MB concentration was parallel to that of the enzyme activity. The serum Mb maximum concentrations (518 +/- 39 micrograms/l) were reached after 3.3 +/- 0.1 h. The other eight patients developed perioperative myocardial infarction (PMI); in this group, the cumulated CK-MB release was higher, and the serum CK-MB postoperative curves were of three different types. The patients with delayed CK-MB peaks (type I pattern) or sustained elevations (type III) of this isoenzyme also showed increased serum Mb levels at the end of the first postoperative day. The PMI patients with early (10 h) CK-MB elevations (type II) did not demonstrate abnormal serum Mb levels.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) [less ▲]

Serum activity of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) were measured during extra-corporeal circulation in five patients undergoing aorto-coronary bypass surgery. We observed a significant decrease of serum ACE levels in the absence of pulmonary circulation, suggesting that in man the lungs were the major source of circulating ACE. An effective extra-pulmonary liberation of ACE could take place during cardiopulmonary bypass. The levels of serum ACE increased with pulmonary recirculation, but preoperative levels were not reached 24 h later. [less ▲]
