Abstract
This study tests the hypothesis that abrupt reoxygenation of cyanotic immature hearts when starting cardiopulmonary bypass produces an unintended reoxygenation injury that: (i) nullifies the cardioprotective effects of blood cardioplegia; and (ii) is avoidable by adding the antioxidants, N-(2-mercaptopropionyl)-glycine (MPG) plus catalase to the cardiopulmonary bypass prime. Twenty immature piglets (aged 2-3 weeks) underwent 30 min of blood cardioplegic arrest (BCP) with standard clinical blood cardioplegia (hypocalcaemic, alkalotic, hyperosmolar, substrate-enriched). Six piglets remained normoxaemic (BCP). Fourteen others were made hypoxic (PO2 20-30 mmHg) for up to 2 h by lowering ventilator FiO2 (5-7%) before undergoing reoxygenation on cardiopulmonary bypass at PO2 400 mmHg. In eight animals, the pump prime was not supplemented with antioxidants (Reox + BCP), whereas MPG (80 mg/kg) and catalase (CAT; 5 mg/kg) were added to the pump prime in the other six (MPG/CAT). Myocardial function (end-systolic elastance, conductance catheter), oxidant damage (myocardial conjugated diene production), oxygen consumption and antioxidant reserve capacity were evaluated. Blood cardioplegic arrest caused no functional or biochemical changes ...Continue Reading
