title: [Measurement of CK-BB isoenzyme after cardiac surgery (author's transl)].
abstract: We measured the BB isoenzyme of creatine kinase in the serum of 135 patients following cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass: 64 infants, 48 children and 23 adults, 56 of them have had, at least, one positive result. The duration of anaesthesia do not have any influence; we have found the same proportion of positive results in the two groups with anaesthesia less or more than 8 hours. Severity and complexity of the surgical procedure induce the CK-BB increase. In many cases, a high serum concentration of CK-BB is not related to clinical cerebral damage. Under this circumstances, it is possible that the rise in CK-BB concentration is not specific of central nervous system lesion.
