Research Abstract

Effects of cardiopulmonary bypass with extreme hemodilution (hemoglobin concentrations less than 5.0 g/dl) in pediatric open heart surgery were investigated.
In a animal model using the rabbit undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass, changes in oxygenation levels in intracranial hemoglobin and cytochrome C measured with near-infrared spectroscopy, and histological changes in the hippocampus CA1 area were studied. Yet not decisive the results suggested that the hemoglobin levels over 3.0 g/dl might be safe for cerebral protection during cardiopulmonary bypass. In a clinical study of infants undergoing open heart surgery the changes in oxygenation levels in intracranial hemoglobin and cytochrome C measured with near-infrared spectroscopy and in neurospecific protein S-100 are also investigated. In the study one case that had hemoglobin levels below 3.5 g/dl during moderately hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass showed transient convulsion and a rise in protein S-100 early after the surgery.
These results suggest that hemoglobin levels above 3.5 g/dl should be maintained during cardiopulmonary bypass in pediatric patients.
