Abstract/OtherAbstract:
This study tested the hypothesis that the developing heart is susceptible to oxygen-mediated damage after reintroduction of molecular oxygen and that this "unintended" reoxygenation injury causes lipid peroxidation and functional depression that may contribute to perioperative cardiac dysfunction. Among 49 Duroc-Yorkshire piglets (2 to 3 weeks old, 3 to 5 kg) 15 control studies were done without hypoxemia to test the effects of the surgical preparation (n = 10) and 60 minutes of cardiopulmonary bypass (n = 5). Twenty-nine piglets underwent up to 2 hours of ventilator hypoxemia (with inspired oxygen fraction reduced to 6% to 7%) to lower arterial oxygen tension to approximately 25 mm Hg. Five piglets did not undergo reoxygenation to determine alterations caused by hypoxemia alone. Twenty-four others received reoxygenation by either raising ventilator inspired oxygen fraction to 1.0 (n = 12) or instituting cardiopulmonary bypass at oxygen tension 400 mm Hg (n = 12). Ventilator hypoxemia produced sufficient hemodynamic compromise and metabolic acidosis that 18 piglets required premature reoxygenation (78 +/- 12 minutes). To avoid the influence of acidosis and hemodynamic deterioration during ventilator hypoxemia, five others underwent 30 minutes of hypoxemia during cardiopulmonary bypass (circuit primed with blood at oxygen tension 25 mm Hg) and 30 minutes of reoxygenation (oxygen tension 400 mm Hg) during cardiopulmonary bypass. Biochemical markers of oxidant damage included measurement of coronary sinus and myocardial conjugated dienes to determine lipid peroxidation and antioxidant reserve capacity assessed by incubating myocardial tissue in the oxidant t-butylhydroperoxide. Functional recovery was determined by inscribing pressure volume loops to determine end-systolic elastance and Starling curves by volume infusion. No biochemical or functional changes occurred in control piglets. Hypoxemia without reoxygenation did not change plasma levels of conjugated dienes, but lowered antioxidant reserve capacity 24%. Reoxygenation by ventilator caused refractory ventricular arrhythmias in two piglets (17% mortality), raised levels of conjugated dienes 45%, and reduced antioxidant reserve capacity 40% with recovery of 39% of mechanical function in the survivors. Comparable biochemical and functional changes occurred in piglets undergoing ventilator hypoxemia and/or cardiopulmonary bypass hypoxemia and reoxygenation on cardiopulmonary bypass. We conclude that hypoxemia increases vulnerability to reoxygenation damage by reducing antioxidant reserve capacity and that reoxygenation by either ventilator or cardiopulmonary bypass produces oxidant damage with resultant functional depression that is not a result of cardiopulmonary bypass. These findings suggest that initiation of cardiopulmonary bypass in cyanotic immature subjects causes an unintended reoxygenation injury, which may increase vulnerability to subsequent ischemia during surgical repair.
