SUMMARY:
During on-pump heart surgery, fluid extravasation can cause edema and reduced post-operative organ function. Elvevoll’s experiments include randomly allocated pigs, with the aim to find interventions that could possibly reduce intraoperative fluid accumulation.
(1) In the first experiment, intra-abdominal pressure was elevated for a total of four hours, leading to increased hematocrit, fluid extravasation rate and decreased plasma volume. Moreover, femoral venous pressure, right atrial pressure, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure and mean pulmonary arterial pressure increased substantially more than in the control group. The increased intra-abdominal pressure also lead to elevated intracranial pressure and decreased tissue perfusion of the pancreas and the gastric- and intestinal mucosa.
(2) Fluid extravasation increased dramatically during initiation of cardiopulmonary bypass in pigs given isoflurane and sevoflurane anesthesia, with no between-group differences. The pigs given sevoflurane needed more fluid supplementation, probably because plasma volume was better contained with isoflurane.
(3) Pulsatile roller pump-induced cardiopulmonary bypass does not affect fluid extravasation differently than a nonpulsatile procedure. Fluid additions/losses, plasma volume and tissue perfusion also changed similarly in both groups.
(4) Deep hypothermia circulatory arrest have similar impact on fluid extravasation compared to deep hypothermic low-flow cardiopulmonary bypass. However, the pigs given deep hypothermia circulatory arrest had indication of anaerobic cerebral metabolism and ischemic brain injury.
