Abstract
The study presents the results of quality assessment of antiischemic myocardial protection by low- volume method of cardioplegia by «Custodiol» solution during operations with cardiopulmonary by- pass. The study involved 57 patients who underwent different cardiosurgery operations with cardio- pulmonary bypass. The patients were divided into two groups on the basis of the volume of cardioplegic solution. Research group (Group № 1) consists of 33 patients who were administered «Custodiol» in low volume limited by 1000 ml. The control group (Group № 2) consists of 24 patients who were ad- ministered standart volume of the solution corresponding to the manufacturer's instructions: 1 ml per 1 g of myocardial mass during 6-8 minutes. The results has indicated that the use of low volume of car- dioplegic «Custodiol» in a single administration manner provides a complete antiischemic protection of the myocardium during the correction of valvular heart disease, including combination with coronary artery bypass grafting. usage of low volume «Custodiol» solution method does not increase the need of inotropic and vasopressor usage and pacing time. The use of low volumes of «Custodiol» helps to reduce transfusion requirements of blood and its components.
