目的　探讨在主动脉瘤手术中应用经上腔静脉逆行灌注的脑保护效果。　方法　 65例主动脉瘤患者分 2组 ,15例采用深低温停循环 (DHCA) ,5 0例经上腔静脉逆行灌注 (RCP)进行脑保护。术中比较 2组患者不同时间颈内静脉的血乳酸含量 ,对部分RCP患者测定了灌注血和回流血的流量分布 ,以及灌注血和回流血的氧含量。　结果　DHCA组停循环时间为 10 0～ 63 0min ,平均(3 5 9± 18 8)min ;RCP组为 16 0～ 81 0min ,平均 (45 5± 17 2 )min。术后至清醒时间DHCA组为4 4～ 9 4h ,平均 (7 1± 1 6)h ;RCP组 2 0～ 9 0h ,平均 (5 4± 2 2 )h。DHCA组手术死亡 3例 ,RCP组死亡 1例 ;术后神经系统并发症DHCA组 3例 (死亡 2例 ,成活 1例 ) ,RCP组 1例 (存活 )。手术总成功率和神经系统并发症发生率RCP组分别为 96%和 2 % ,DHCA组为 67%和 2 0 % (P <0 0 5 )。RCP组再灌注期间颈内静脉血乳酸含量增高幅度低于DHCA组 (4 4± 0 6)mmol/Lvs (6 2± 0 9)mmol/L ,P <0 0 1],经头臂和下腔静脉血流量测定显示约 2 0 %血液经头臂动脉回流 ,灌注血和回流血氧差9 0 0～ 13 67ml/L ,证实RCP期间脑组织有氧利用。　结论　在主动脉瘤手术中 ,应用RCP可以延长停循环的安全时限 ,是可行的脑保护方法

Clinical application of retrograde cerebral perfusion for brain protection during the surgery of ascending aortic aneurysm: 50 cases report

OBJECTIVE: To assess retrospectively the effects of different protective methods on brain in ascending aortic aneurysm surgery. METHODS: In 65 patients, aneurysm was dissected to the aortic arch or right arch. To protect brain, deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) combined with retrograde cerebral perfusion (RCP) through the superior vena cava (n = 50) and simple DHCA (n = 15) were used during the procedure. Blood samples for lactic acid level from the jugular vein were compared in both groups at different phase, and perfusion blood distribution and oxygen content difference between the perfused and returned blood were measured in some RCP patients. RESULTS: The DHCA time was 35.9 +/- 18.8 min (10.0 - 63.0 min) and DHCA + RCP time was 45.5 +/- 17.2 min (16.0 - 81.0 min). The resuscitation time was 7.1 +/- 1.6 h (4.4 - 9.4 h) in DHCA patients and 5.4 +/- 2.2 h (2.0 - 9.0 h) in RCP patients. Operation death was 3/15 in the DHCA group and 1/50 in the RCP patients. Central nervous complication existed in 3/12 of DHCA patients and 1/49 of RCP patients (P < 0.01). The overall survival rate was 96% (RCP) vs 67% (DHCA), central nervous system dysfunction was 20% in DHCA vs 2% in RCP (P < 0.01). The blood lactic acid level increased significantly after reperfusion in DHCA than in RCP. The blood distribution measurement approximated to 20% of the perfused blood returned from arch vessels. Oxygen content between perfused and returned blood showed that oxygen uptake was adequate in the RCP group. CONCLUSIONS: The application of RCP could prolong the safety duration of circulation arrest. Cerebral perfusion may reep the brain cool and flush out particulate and air embolism. Open anastomosis of the aortic arch to the prosthesis can be safely performed. RCP is acceptable for brain protection in clinical practice.
