Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) with aortic cross-clamping represents a controlled period of global cardiac ischemia. We hypothesized that CPB (asanguineous prime), with aortic cross-clamping and repeated cardioplegia, alters myocardial function, which would be manifested as an exaggerated myocardial depression caused by halothane after CPB. In nine dogs anesthetized with fentanyl and midazolam, halothane dose-response curves (0.0%-2.0%) were compared before and after CPB. A reduced mean arterial blood pressure (46.4 +/- 3.7 vs 85.8 +/- 5.9 mm Hg), associated with a marked hemodilution (hematocrit, 19% +/- 1% vs 41% +/- 2%), was observed after CPB. Cardiac output and systolic shortening were not significantly different after versus before CPB during fentanyl-midazolam anesthesia. Normalized to fentanyl-midazolam hemodynamics, halothane dose-response curves before and after CPB were identical for all variables except cardiac output, where halothane caused a slight but statistically significantly more pronounced decrease after CPB compared with before CPB. The effect of halothane on left ventricular function, therefore, is relatively unaffected by CPB with cardioplegia.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008874 Midazolam A short-acting hypnotic-sedative drug with anxiolytic and amnestic properties. It is used in dentistry, cardiac surgery, endoscopic procedures, as preanesthetic medication, and as an adjunct to local anesthesia. The short duration and cardiorespiratory stability makes it useful in poor-risk, elderly, and cardiac patients. It is water-soluble at pH less than 4 and lipid-soluble at physiological pH.

D002315 Cardiopulmonary Bypass Diversion of the flow of blood from the entrance of the right atrium directly to the aorta (or femoral artery) via an oxygenator thus bypassing both the heart and lungs.

D004285 Dogs The domestic dog, Canis familiaris, comprising about 400 breeds, of the carnivore family CANIDAE. They are worldwide in distribution and live in association with people. (Walker's Mammals of the World, 5th ed, p1065) Canis familiaris,Dog

D005283 Fentanyl A potent narcotic analgesic, abuse of which leads to habituation or addiction. It is primarily a mu-opioid agonist. Fentanyl is also used as an adjunct to general anesthetics, and as an anesthetic for induction and maintenance.

D006221 Halothane A nonflammable, halogenated, hydrocarbon anesthetic that provides relatively rapid induction with little or no excitement. Analgesia may not be adequate. NITROUS OXIDE is often given concomitantly. Because halothane may not produce sufficient muscle relaxation, supplemental neuromuscular blocking agents may be required.

D006324 Heart Arrest, Induced A procedure to stop the contraction of MYOCARDIUM during HEART SURGERY. It is usually achieved with the use of chemicals (CARDIOPLEGIC SOLUTIONS) or cold temperature (such as chilled perfusate).

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
