Brief Summary: Cardiac surgery using heart and lung machine produces an inflammatory reaction in the body This leads in few percent of cases to heart lung and kidney disturbances that potentially causes death White blood cells in contact with the heart and lung machine and external surfaces release mediators partly responsible for this Blood collected by the suction and the blood remaining in the heart and lung machine after its use can be cleaned by a cell saver before reinfusion and this might reduce the inflammatory response
Detailed Description: Introduction

Cardiopulmonary bypass CPB during cardiac surgery induces in all patients a systemic inflammatory response syndrome SIRS that is more pronounced than for other surgical procedures Depending on the severity of this myocardial dysfunction respiratory failure renal and neurological dysfunction coagulation disturbances and impaired liver function might follow In worst cases this leads to acute respiratory distress syndrome disseminated intravascular coagulation multi organ failure shock and death The cause is besides the surgical trauma the passage of the blood through the extra corporal circulation ECC and its pumps and oxygenator hemodilution hypothermia heparin and protamine administration ischemia and reperfusion and endotoxemia LPS as a cause of intestinal ischemia The ECC is the main cause of immunological activation and leads in severe cases to the so-called post-perfusion syndrome This is characterised by increased capillary permeability and intercellular fluid peripheral vasoconstriction fever myocardial edema diffuse cerebral edema and diffuse hemorrhagic diathesis This syndrome is considered to be a more severe form of SIRS Even though most patients have no sequelae after CPB all patients must be considered to be influenced in varying degree by SIRS High levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin IL-6 IL-8 IL-1a IL-1b tumor necrosis factor TNF alfa have generally been associated with adverse events after CPB Of importance is also LPS from gram-negative intestinal bacteria translocating to the systemic circulation during ischemia

Hypothesis

Cleansing of suction blood and the remaining blood in the ECC after termination of CPB reduces the load of inflammatory cells and mediators in the patients circulation This potentially diminishes SIRS with a reduction in postoperative organ dysfunction and morbidity

Aim

To cleanse suction blood and the remaining blood in the ECC after termination of CPB by means of a cell saver and monitor the influence on inflammatory mediators and the potential clinical benefits

Outcome measures

Primary Concentrations of IL-1B IL-6 IL-8 IL-10 IL-12p70 TNFa TNF-R1 TNF-R2 PCT and LPS in patient blood 6 24 and 72 hours after termination of CPB

Secondary Bleeding need for allogenic blood transfusions and blood products and clinical effect focusing on known complications to cardiac surgery and CPB

Design

Prospective randomised clinical trial including 40 patients planned for on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting CABG n20 in the trial group use of cell saver and n20 in the control group no cell saver No patients receive postoperative autotransfusion of drain blood

Sample size

Estimation based on comparable studies

Anaesthesia and surgery

In accordance with current guidelines of the clinic this includes prophylactic antibiotics cefuroxime and gentamycin Cell saver Medtronic Autolog

Patient exclusion during the trial

Patients are excluded in cases of autotransfusion of blood not cleansed by the cell saver for instance in cases of major blood loss
