Twenty-six consecutive pediatric patients undergoing reparative procedures necessitating cardiopulmonary bypass were prospectively studied to determine changes in serum levels of 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha and thromboxane B2. Cardiac lesions included acyanotic lesions (five patients), obstructive lesions (10 patients), and right-to-left shunts (11 patients). There was a significant (p less than 0.05) increase in 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha from preoperative levels measured at the time of arterial and venous cannula insertion. This concentration was maintained throughout cardiopulmonary bypass and remained significantly elevated (p less than 0.001) in the recovery room, but returned to preoperative levels by the morning after the operation. Preoperative levels of thromboxane B2 varied widely and were not significantly different from intraoperative levels. The postoperative levels of thromboxane B2, however, were significantly different (p less than 0.05) from the intraoperative levels. In the pediatric age group undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass, 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha and thromboxane B2 change during bypass but do not significantly differ when preoperative levels are compared to postoperative values.
