Postoperative pulmonary tissue changes following autogenous lung and artificial lung bypass. Comparative studies.
With regard to pulmonary tissue damage secondary to extracorporeal circulation, most studies focused on the pulmonary histological changes after artificial lung bypass, but none compared the pre- and post-operative pulmonary changes of artificial lung with those of autogenous lung. We compared the changes in autogenous lung oxygenation and artificial lung oxygenation during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The results showed that autogenous lung oxygenation is less injurious to the lung than bubble oxygenation and is more physiological. We think that during open heart surgery with autogenous lung bypass, the lung is functioning physiologically and supplied with normal amount of oxygen, while using bubble oxygenation for CPB, the native lung, the only nonperfused organ, is insulted by pulmonary ischemia, which is one of the most important reasons for pulmonary injury after CPB.
