The objective: to establish the prevalence of postoperative delirium (POD) and the influence of various factors in intra- and postoperative periods on its occurrence in children with septal congenital defects requiring surgical interventions with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).Subjects and methods: 40 children from 6 to 36 months and weighing from 7.5 to 15 kg were enrolled in the study; they underwent planned radical surgery of septal CHD with cardiopulmonary bypass. In the postoperative period, all patients were tested using the Cornell Assessment for Pediatric Delirium validated for children of this age. Cerebral damage was also assessed using three specific serum markers: protein S-100-ß, neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and glial fibrillar acidic protein (GFAP) before the surgery, upon bypass completion, and in 16 hours after the operation.Results. The study revealed the incidence of delirium in 22.5%. When analyzing many factors of the intra- and postoperative period, it was found that the use of donor blood components in the primary volume of CPB filling was statistically significantly more often observed in patients with established delirium: 7 (78%) and 13 (42%) (p = 0.049). Also, it was found that levels of S-100-ß, NSE, and GFAP were significantly higher in patients with confirmed POD.The study described the incidence of POD in children after surgical treatment of congenital heart disease under cardiopulmonary bypass and showed that intraoperative transfusion was a risk factor for the development of delirium. The role of markers of cerebral damage in the diagnosis of POD was also proven.

Aim. To establish the role of donor blood components which are used in the intraoperative period in children with septal congenital heart disease (CHD) who need surgical interventions with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) for the prevention of cerebral injury in the postoperative period.Methods. 40 children of 14 months old on average and 8.8 kg of weight were under the study. All patients underwent radical correction of the septal CHD with the use of CPB. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the donated blood components used. Cerebral damage was assessed with the help of three specific markers: protein S-100-ß, neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and glial fibrillar acidic protein (GFAP). The severity of the systemic inflammatory response was defined by the level of the following markers: interleukin 1, 6 and 10 in serum before operations, after the completion of IC and 16 hours after surgery. The clinical analysis of cerebral injury was performed via the Cornell Assessment for Pediatric Delirium.Results. Statistically the concentration of all three markers of cerebral injury was significantly higher in the transfusion group after the end of CPB. Similar dynamics was observed in the concentrations of interleukins. In addition, the values for GFAP were higher in the transfusion group and 16 hours after surgery.Conclusion. The safety and effectiveness of the strategy on refusal of intraoperative transfusion in order to prevent cerebral injury in children during the correction of septal CHD has been demonstrated.

The paper presents results of clinical and laboratory investigation of 106 patients with chronic brain ischemia (CBI) I-II stages (44 males and 62 females). The age of examined patients varied from 38 to 67 years (mean age was 55,6 ± 2,2). The diagnosis of CBI was estimated according to the generally accepted criteria. Results of laboratory investigation of 22 practically healthy people (10 males and 12 females) served as control. The age of control group varied from 35 to 64 years (mean age was 53,2 ± 2,1). Laboratory diagnostics included detection levels of circulating endothelial cells, autoantibodies to encephalitogenic protein, neuron-specific enolase and protein S-100. Reliable changes of immune status as well as signs of endothelium dysfunction was revealed. These indices are expressed in patients with CBI II stage. Direct correlation between intensity of endothelium dysfunction and activity of autoimmune aggression in brain was revealed.

Neurone-specific enolase (NSE) and Sangtec 100 (S-100) are useful for detecting cerebral damage during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). However, red cells contain NSE, and the haemolysis frequently caused by CPB could produce a false rise in NSE; S-100 is not found in red cells and should not be affected. We, therefore, compared the effects of haemolysis on NSE and S-100 to see if correction was necessary and possible. From seven patients, serial dilutions of haemolysed red cells were added to plasma (1/64-1/2048), measured for absorption at 540 nm and assayed for NSE and S-100. S-100 concentrations showed no change with haemolysis. Measured NSE increased significantly with haemolysis >1/512 (an increase of 6.6 μg/ml): a correction formula is presented. In 39/48 patients after CPB, mean haemolysis was <1/256 and would not need any correction. NSE and S-100 assay can, therefore, be used throughout CPB, which allows both glial and neuronal damage to be studied.
