Prevention of remote organ injury in cardiopulmonary bypass: the impact of flow generation technique.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 3 different types of flow generation for cardiopulmonary bypass on gastrointestinal permeability and on neutrophil expression of CD11b, a surface marker of neutrophil activation. Fourteen patients undergoing elective coronary revascularization were selected randomly to receive 1 of the 3 flow generation techniques (roller, pulsatile, or centrifugal). Intestinal permeability was assessed by the fraction of an oral dose of 51chromium-ethylenediaminetetraacetate (51Cr-EDTA) recovered in the urine over 24 h. Neutrophil activation was determined by expression of CD11b markers at 6 time points. Overall, the 14 patients showed significant increases in intestinal permeability. It was not possible to demonstrate statistically significant differences among the flow generation groups; however, when compared to both roller pump groups, the centrifugal pump group showed a 3.2% reduction in intestinal permeability. There was no change in the expression of CD11b receptors throughout the time points, nor was there a relationship of CD11b markers to the flow generation technique.
