Abstract
Modified ultrafiltration (MUF) has been shown to decrease the postcardiac surgery inflammatory response and to improve respiratory function and cardiac performance in pediatric patients; however, this approach has not been well established in adults. The present study hypothesized that MUF could decrease the postsurgical inflammatory response, leading to improved respiratory and cardiac function in adults undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. Sixty patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting were randomized to the MUF or control group (n = 30 each). MUF was performed for 15 minutes at the end of bypass. The following data were recorded at the beginning of anesthesia, end of bypass, end of experimental treatment, and 24 and 48 hours after surgery: alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient, red blood cell units transfused, chest tube drainage, hemodynamic parameters, and cytokine levels (interleukin-6, P-selectin, intercellular adhesion molecule, and soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor). The MUF group displayed less chest tube drainage than the control group after 48 hours (598 ± 123 mL vs 848.0 ± 455 mL; P = .04) and less red blood cell transfusions (0.6 ± 0.6 units/patient vs 1.6 ± 1.1 units/patient; P = .03).
