Abstract

Low S100ß Measurements via Jugular Venous Bulb Catheter During Pulsatile Perfusion in Coronary Bypass Grefting Operations

Highlights

  • Among peripheral tissues, brain is the most important organ and the most vulnerable one to ischemia during cardiopulmonary bypass (CBP), and it needs to be well protected [1]

  • In this study we aimed to determine whether the utilization of pulsatile or non-pulsatile cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) makes a difference on the cerebral circulation by the measurements of biochemical serum markers and the jugular bulb oxygen saturation (SjVO2) in addition to near- infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)

  • Neurological complications that may develop after cardiac surgery are classified into two groups according to ACCAHA (American College of Cardiology and American Heart Asssosiation) classification [1-4]

Summary

Introduction

Brain is the most important organ and the most vulnerable one to ischemia during cardiopulmonary bypass (CBP), and it needs to be well protected [1]. Neurological complications that may develop after cardiac surgery are especially due to embolization and hypoperfusion [2]. As a result of changes in cerebral blood flow during CPB, despite the cerebral autoregulatory system, it was found that there was a decrease in neurocognitive functions after pump up to 6 months [3]. Neurological complications that may develop after cardiac surgery are classified into two groups according to ACCAHA (American College of Cardiology and American Heart Asssosiation) classification [1-4]. While stroke-like events are called as type-1, neurocognitive complications are called type-2. Diagnostic methods are limited in the detection of type 2 complications. In order to detect neurological complications, serum markers such as S100ß, Neuron Specific Enolase (NSE) and adrenomedullin (ADM) were used [5-16]
