Objective: to evaluate the adequate cerebral perfusion in patients who underwent cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Methods: an observational, analytical, prospective and multicentric study was conducted. All adults patients scheduled for cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass were included, with hospital admission at least the day before the intervention, with a negative Pfeiffer test, without communication problems, and with informed consent. Cerebral monitoring with Masimo ROOT 03® was used with encephalogram measurement (4 channels), cerebral oximetry and anesthetic depth. As a pre and postoperative cognitive assessment instrument we used the Pfeiffer test. Results: 19 patients with a mean age of 64.8 ± 11.5 years were included. The postoperative Pfeiffer test showed no cognitive impairment in 78.9% of the cases. While the remaining 21.1% had mild cognitive impairment (1 patient had ischemic damage). In this group, all were valvular patients, older than 65 years of age, and had maximum glycemias greater than 180 mg/dL. In 75% of the patients with cognitive impairment, the baseline SrO2 was less than 57%, there was sustained hypotension at sometime during surgery and it had a decrease of more than 20% of its basal SrO2. Conclusions: Continuous brain monitoring (electroencephalogram, cerebral oxygen saturation, anesthetic depth, suppression rate) during cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass is a reliable, valid and necessary safety measure to improve the quality of perfusion and surgical patient care.

Postoperative delirium with cognitive impairment frequently occurs after cardiac surgery. It was hypothesized that delirium is associated with residual postoperative cognitive dysfunction in patients after surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass. Male cardiac surgical patients ( M age = 66 yr., SD = 8; M education = 13 yr., SD = 2) and nonsurgical controls ( M age = 62, SD = 7; M education = 12, SD = 2) 55 years of age or older were balanced on age and education. Delirium was assessed by the Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist preoperatively and for up to 5 days postoperatively. Recent verbal and nonverbal memory and executive functions were assessed (as scores on particular tests) before and 1 wk. after surgery. In 56 patients studied ( n = 28 Surgery; n=28 Nonsurgery), nine patients from the Surgery group developed delirium. In the Surgery group, the proportion of patients having postoperative cognitive dysfunction was significantly greater in those who experienced delirium (89%) compared with those who did not (37%). The odds of developing this dysfunction in patients with delirium were 14 times greater than those who did not. Postoperative delirium is associated with scores for residual postoperative cognitive dysfunction 1 wk. after cardiac surgery.

Background During cardiopulmonary bypass, mixed venous oxygen saturation (Svo2) is frequently measured to assess circulatory adequacy. Fluctuations in Svo2 not related to patient movement or inadequate oxygen delivery have been attributed clinically to increased cerebral oxygen consumption due to "light" anesthesia. To evaluate the relationship between anesthetic depth and Svo2, we prospectively measured bispectral index (BIS) and Svo2 values in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Methods Adults scheduled for cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass were recruited for this prospective observational study. During bypass, BIS and Svo2 values were recorded every 5 min. To control for confounding effects of changes in other variables known to affect Svo2, temperature, hematocrit, bypass pump flow, muscle relaxant use, and intravenous and inhaled anesthetic doses were also recorded. Only periods with limited variation in other variables affecting Svo2 were analyzed. The relationship between BIS and Svo2 was evaluated using mixed linear regression. Results One thousand thirty-four data points were obtained in 41 patients. No overall association between BIS and Svo2 was observed, either in unadjusted analysis or adjusted for covariates. In data points with temperatures less than the median (T < 34.1 degrees C), a significant association between BIS and Svo2 was observed both in unadjusted (beta = -0.32, P = 0.01) and adjusted (beta = -0.27, P = 0.04) analyses. Conclusions In patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass, we found no overall association between BIS and Svo2. A weak but statistically significant association between BIS and Svo2 was observed in patients with temperatures less than 34.1 degrees C. These data suggest that low Svo2 values on bypass are unlikely to be due to light or inadequate anesthesia. The relationship among temperature, BIS and Svo2 deserves further study.

<p><strong>Aim.</strong> The study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of polypeptide neuroprotection using brain protein “Cellex” for prevention of postoperative cognitive dysfunction after cardiac surgery.<br /><strong>Methods.</strong> Our study included 60 patients undergoing elective cardiosurgical operations, who were randomized into two groups. In the “Cellex” group, the patients received 1.0 ml of “Cellex” subcutaneously daily during 8 days, beginning from the preoperative day, while the control group patients were given a saline placebo. The cognitive function was assessed using a Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) test on the day before surgery and also at Days 3 and 7 postoperatively. The plasma concentrations of S100b protein were measured before surgery, and at Days 3 and 7. The patients’ gas exchange, hemodynamics and cerebral oxygenation were monitored. In addition, the efficacy of “Cellex” and the severity of cognitive dysfunction were evaluated intraoperatively under cardiopulmonary bypass.<br />Results. The duration of intervention and mechanical ventilation, as well as hemodynamics and cerebral oximetry data did not differ significantly between the groups. There was a transient decline of cognitive functions and an increase in plasma concentration of S100b at Day 3 after surgery in both groups (p&lt;0.05). At Day 7, the MoCA score was still decreased in the control group (p&lt;0.003), but returned to the baseline in the “Cellex” group. These effects became more pronounced after cardiopulmonary bypass. The intraoperative PaCO2 correlated with cerebral oxygenation surgery by the beginning and at the end of surgery (rho = 0.305, p = 0.033 and rho = 0.533; p&lt;0.001). <br />Conclusion. The perioperative use of “Cellex” can attenuate cognitive dysfunction after cardiac surgery, especially when following interventions under cardiopulmonary bypass.</p><p>Received 25 May 2017.

SummaryWe determined changes in platelet aggregability following cardiopulmonary bypass, using optical aggregometry to assess macroaggregation in platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and platelet counting to assess microaggregation both in whole blood and PRP. Hirudin was used as the anticoagulant to maintain normocalcaemia.Microaggregation (%, median and interquartile range) in blood stirred with collagen (0.6 µg/ml) was only marginally impaired following bypass (91 [88, 93] at 10 min postbypass v 95 (92, 96] prebypass; n = 22), whereas macroaggregation (amplitude of response; cm) in PRP stirred with collagen (1.0µg/ml) was markedly impaired (9.5 [8.0, 10.8], n = 41 v 13.4 [12.7,14.3], n = 10; p <0.0001). However, in PRP, despite impairment of macroaggregation (9.1 [8.5, 10.1], n = 12), microaggregation was near-maximal (93 [91, 94]), as in whole blood stirred with collagen. In contrast, in aspirin-treated patients (n = 14), both collagen-induced microaggregation in whole blood (49 [47, 52]) and macroaggregation in PRP (5.1 [3.8, 6.6]) were more markedly impaired, compared with control (both p <0.001).Similarly, in PRP, macroaggregation with ristocetin (1.5 mg/ml) was also impaired following bypass (9.4 [7.2, 10.7], n = 38 v 12.4 [10.0, 13.4]; p <0.0002, n = 20), but as found with collagen, despite impairment of macroaggregation (7.2 [3.5,10.9], n = 12), microaggregation was again near-maximal (96 [93,97]). The response to ristocetin was more markedly impared after bypass in succinylated gelatin (Gelo-fusine) treated patients (5.6 [2.8, 8.6], n = 17; p <0.005 v control), whereas the response to collagen was little different (9.3 v 9.5). In contrast to findings with collagen in aspirin-treated patients, the response to ristocetin was little different to that in controls (8.0 v 8.3). Impairment of macroaggregation with collagen or ristocetin did not correlate with the duration of bypass or the platelet count, indicating that haemodilution is not a contributory factor.In conclusion: (1) Macroaggregation in PRP, as determined using optical aggregometry, is specifically impaired following bypass, and this probably reflects impairment of the build-up of small aggregates into larger aggregates. (2) Impairment of aggregate growth and consolidation could contribute to the haemostatic defect following cardiac surgery.
