非体外循环冠状动脉搭桥术早期疗效的探讨

目的：探讨非体外循环心脏不停跳冠状动脉搭桥术的安全性和早期临床效果。方法：自2000年7月至2002年3月51例冠心病患接受冠状动脉搭桥手术，按手术方式分为非体外循环组（n=21）和传统体外循环组（n=30)。将两组病人的术前临床资料，手术方式，术后并发症和疗效等进行对比分析。结果：两组术前临床资料无明显差异。非体外循环组手术时间，术后出血输血量，呼吸机辅助时间显少于体外循环组，并且术后心律失常的发生率明显降低（P均＜0．05），其他重要器官的并发症发生率亦低于体外循环组。两组平均随访9．6个月，心绞痛均消失，心功能改善，活动量明显增加。结论：非体外循环冠状动脉搭桥术是安全可行的，并发症少，近期疗效满意。     

Effects of chlorpromazine as a systemic vasodilator during cardiopulmonary bypass in neonates

OBJECTIVES: Vasodilator use during cardiopulmonary bypass is important in pediatric cardiac surgery, but the full range of their effects on hemodynamics remains to be clarified. We studied the effects of chlorpromazine, a potent alpha-blocking agent, in neonates. METHODS: Subjects were 60 neonates undergoing arterial switch operations for complete transposition of the great arteries with an intact ventricular septum. Of these, 37 received 2.1 to 6.5 mg/kg of chlorpromazine during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPZ group) and 23 received no vasodilator (control group). We then compared hemodynamic parameters between groups during and early after surgery. RESULTS: The systemic vascular resistance index and mean arterial pressure during cardiopulmonary bypass were significantly lower in the CPZ group (p < 0.05), but systolic pressure 15 minutes after cessation of cardiopulmonary bypass did not differ between groups. The rise in peripheral temperature during rewarming after hypothermia was significantly higher and the acid-base status 40 minutes after cardiopulmonary bypass less acidotic in the CPZ group. Urine output during cardiopulmonary bypass was higher in the CPZ group. CONCLUSIONS: Chlorpromazine effectively counteracts systemic vasoconstriction induced by cardiopulmonary bypass without serious side effects in neonatal cardiac surgery.

Modified Ultrafiltration Attenuates Dilutional Coagulopathy in Pediatric Open Heart Operations

Background. Extreme hemodilution caused by relatively large prime volumes required for cardiopulmonary bypass in infants causes a dilutional coagulopathy, characterized by low concentrations of fibrinogen and other circulating coagulation factors. Modified ultrafiltration results in hemoconcentration and is associated with decreases in postoperative bleeding and transfusion requirements in children. This study was undertaken to quantify the effect of modified ultrafiltration on concentrations of fibrinogen, plasma proteins, and platelets in infants and small children.

Methods. Twenty patients less than 15 kg were studied. Cardiopulmonary bypass circuits were primed with crystalloid solutions. Red blood cells were added during cardiopulmonary bypass for hematocrits less than 15%. Colloid solutions were not administered. Concentrations of fibrinogen, plasma proteins, and platelets, and hematocrit were measured before cardiopulmonary bypass, before modified ultrafiltration, and after modified ultrafiltration.

Results. Modified ultrafiltration was associated with significant (p < 0.001) increases in hematocrit (19% ± 6% to 31% ± 9%), fibrinogen (65 ± 29 to 101 ± 45 mg/dL), and total plasma proteins (2.7 ± 0.3 to 4.9 ± 0.7 g/dL), but no change (p = 0.129) in platelet count.

Conclusions. We conclude that modified ultrafiltration significantly attenuates the dilutional coagulopathy associated with cardiopulmonary bypass in infants.     

Air Embolism Death of a Pregnant Woman Secondary to Orogenital Sex

Air embolism produced by vaginal insufflation is an unusual but potentially lethal consequence of sexual activity, especially in the pregnant patient. Reported here is the case of a young pregnant woman who presented to the ED in full cardiac arrest, with little history to explain her condition. Despite aggressive resuscitative measures, the patient died, but her infant son was delivered via perimortem cesarean section and survived. A high level of suspicion for air embolism should be maintained for young women who unexpectedly develop cardiac arrest, particularly during sexual activity. Air embolism patients may require vigorous medical resuscitation, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, or surgical intervention to survive. The emergency physician should be familiar with the indications for perimortem cesarean delivery in the third-trimester patient presenting to the ED with cardiac arrest.     

Closed-Chest Cardiopulmonary Bypass and Cardioplegia: Basis for Less Invasive Cardiac Surgery

Background. We developed a method of closed-chest cardiopulmonary bypass to arrest and protect the heart with cardioplegic solution. This method was used in 54 dogs and the results were retrospectively analyzed.

Methods. Bypass cannulas were placed in the right femoral vessels. A balloon occlusion catheter was passed via the left femoral artery and positioned in the ascending aorta. A pulmonary artery vent was placed via the jugular vein. In 17 of the dogs retrograde cardioplegia was provided with a percutaneous coronary sinus catheter.

Results. Cardiopulmonary bypass time was 111 ± 27 minutes (mean ± standard deviation) and cardiac arrest time was 66 ± 21 minutes. Preoperative cardiac outputs were 2.9 ± 0.70 L/min and postoperative outputs were 2.9 ± 0.65 L/min (p = not significant). Twenty-one-French and 23F femoral arterial cannulas that allowed coaxial placement of the ascending aortic balloon catheter were tested in 3 male calves. Line pressures were higher, but not clinically limiting, with the balloon catheter placed coaxially.

Conclusions. Adequate cardiopulmonary bypass and cardioplegia can be achieved in the dog without opening the chest, facilitating less invasive cardiac operations. A human clinical trial is in progress.     

Cytology of transitional-cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder: diagnostic yield and histologic basis.

The diagnostic yield of cytology in histologically proven transitional-cell carcinoma (TCC) of the urinary bladder has been studied in 100 cases. Cytohistologic correlation rates were 20 percent, 61.7 percent, and 92.8 percent, respectively, for grade 1, 2, and 3 tumors. When further evaluated, G2 cases were segregated into 2 subcategories, G2a and G2b, based on histologic preservation of nuclear polarity, pleomorphism, and other cellular irregularities. Correlation rates were rather low for G2a cases (6/18, 33%) and high for G2b cases, (23/29; 79%). The prevalence of atypical cells was 2 (11.1%) cases in G2a and 16 (55.2%) cases in G2b. The results of this study confirm that cytology has an extremely varying diagnostic yield in urinary bladder TCC. Greater cell exfoliation, increased atypia, and a tendency to infiltration of G2b and G3 cases probably account for the higher diagnostic yield detected in these groups.

Effects of pulsatile cardiopulmonary bypass on the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system following open heart surgery

The effects of pulsatile cardiopulmonary bypass on the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and tissue metabolism, especially those which occur soon after surgery, were studied in 26 patients who required total cardiopulmonary bypass for longer than 60 minutes. These patients comprised 11 who underwent open heart surgery utilizing nonpulsatile cardiopulmonary bypass (Group I) and 15 who underwent open heart surgery utilizing pulsatile cardiopulmonary bypass (Group II). Plasma angiotensin II and serum aldosterene levels were significantly increased one and 5 hours postoperatively in Group I when compared with the preoperative values, whereas no significant elevations were observed in Group II. Plasma angiotensin II and serum aldosterone levels one hour postoperatively in Group II were significantly lower than those in Group I. Lactate levels in the arterial blood were significantly elevated, one and 5 hours postoperatively in both Groups I and II. Moreover, no significant difference was observed in the lactate levels between Groups I and II, one hour postoperatively. In the nonpulsatile group (Group I), plasma angiotensin II levels one hour postoperatively were correlated significantly with the duration of total cardiopulmonary bypass. In conclusion, pulsatile cardiopulmonary bypass offers significant advantages in terms of lower plasma angiotensin II and serum aldosterone levels, when compared with nonpulsatile cardiopulmonary bypass soon after open heart surgery requiring total cardiopulmonary bypass for longer than 60 minutes, however, it does not offer a definite advantage for tissue metabolism.
