Abstract: | OBJECTIVE: To investigate the free radicals (FR) generation after ischaemic preconditioning and cardiopulmonary bypass and during reperfusion in CABG patients, and the role of ischaemic preconditioning. METHODS: Forty-three CABG patients were randomised into an ischaemic preconditioning and a control group. The protocol for ischaemic preconditioning was two cycles of 2-min ischaemia followed by 3-min reperfusion. Free radicals were measured using electron spin resonance spectroscopy. Global and right heart functions were collected. RESULTS: The free radicals generation in coronary sinus blood in the ischaemic preconditioning group was 9.7 and 16.6% after the ischaemic preconditioning protocol and 10 min after declamping, 6.8 and 13.3% in the controls. The free radicals in arterial samples were, respectively, 21, 14, 10 and 9% at 10 min, 1, 2 and 24 h after reperfusion. Cardiac index (CI) and right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) were improved by ischaemic preconditioning. CONCLUSION: Both ischaemic preconditioning and cardiopulmonary bypass induced free radicals generation. Although ischaemic preconditioning had no effect on free radicals generation after the operation, it protected against postoperative stunning. |
