Delay in development after open-heart surgery in infants has frequently been reported. Inadequate brain perfusion and oxygenation during deep hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) may play an important role. We investigated the effect of CPB on cerebral perfusion and oxygenation in 12 neonates and infants (age 0-11 months) undergoing open-heart surgery. Changes in cerebral blood volume (delta CBV; in ml/100 g brain tissue) and oxidation level of the intracerebral mitochondrial enzyme cytochrome aa3 (delta Cytaa3; in mumol/l) were measured with near infrared spectroscopy. Nasopharyngeal temperature (Tnas) for assessment of changes in brain temperature, and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) were monitored continuously. CBV lowered during cooling and increased during rewarming. These changes were only related with changes in Tnas (p < 0.001; 0.07 ml.100 g-1/ degrees C). No relation was found with changes in MAP or pump flow rate of the heart-lung machine. During steady-state hypothermic CPB, changes in CBV were only related to changes in MAP (p < 0.001). The individual regression lines between delta CBV and MAP became steeper at lower absolute Tnas. Cytaa3 showed an increase shortly after the initiation of CPB in 9 patients, with a sustained decrease to baseline values in 8 patients towards the end of the CPB period. Two patients who had a circulatory arrest during CPB had a sharp decrease in delta cytaa3 after cessation of the heart-lung pump and showed no complete recovery of delta Cytaa3 to baseline at the end of the CPB period. We conclude that changes in CBV during CPB are related to changes in Tnas. During deep hypothermic steady-state CPB, changes in CBV and MAP were related to each other, suggesting lack of cerebral autoregulation. The large decrease in Cytaa3 in 2 patients with circulatory arrest suggests that this procedure compromises energy metabolism of the brain cell.

D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
D007231 Infant, Newborn An infant during the first 28 days after birth. Neonate,Newborns,Infants, Newborn,Neonates,Newborn,Newborn Infant,Newborn Infants
D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D010100 Oxygen An element with atomic symbol O, atomic number 8, and atomic weight [15.99903; 15.99977]. It is the most abundant element on earth and essential for respiration. Dioxygen,Oxygen-16,Oxygen 16
D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
