ObjectiveThis study was carried out to assess whether the remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) affects the inflammatory response in patients undergoing the aortic valve replacement. Methods Twenty seven patients were included into the prospective randomised study. In all cases the aortic valve replacement was performed due to the aortic stenosis under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). 13 patients of main group received RIPC and 14 patients formed control group. Anaesthesia was maintained either by propofol and fentanyl (7 patients in the control group, 8 patients in the RIPC group) or by sevoflurane and fentanyl (7 patients in the control group, 5 patients in the RIPC group). RIPC was induced by three 5-min cycles of lower limb ischemia and reperfusion after anaesthesia induction. Cytokines (interleukin-8 (IL-8), interleukin-6 (IL-6)) were analysed at baseline, 30 min, 12 h, 24 h and 48 h after CPB completion. Quantitative data were presented as median (25th–75th percentile). According to nonparametrically distribution, data were assessed by the Mann-Whitney U-test, a P value < 0.05 was considered as significant. Results Our study displayed the significant increase in cytokines levels after CPB completion in both groups. There were no statistical differences in IL-8 and IL-6 concentrations between groups at 30 min and 12 h after CPB. Unexpectedly we found the significantly higher IL-8 activity in the RIPC group at 24 h and 48 h after CPB: it was 12.3 (7.9; 16.5) pg/mL vs. 6.5 (5.5; 10.4) pg/mL in the control group, p = 0.03 at 24 h and 10.6 (5.8; 13.2) pg/mL vs. 5.5 (4.5; 6.1) pg/mL in the control group, p = 0.02 at 48 h. The same tendency was found in IL-6 activity, however statistical significance between the RIPC group and the control one was not confirmed: 27.6 (15.1; 38.5) pg/mL vs. 15.3 (10.5; 28.8) pg/mL, respectively (p = 0.32) at 24 h and 17.1 (13.0; 27.3) pg/mL vs. 9.9 (6.8; 17.2) pg/mL, respectively (p = 0.14) at 48 h. Conclusions This pilot study indicates surprisingly that RIPC may enhance inflammatory response after CPB. Our data suggest that large clinical trials assessing the effects of RIPC on the inflammatory response should be performed in order to study the underlying mechanisms.

Pharmacological scores, such as inotropic score (IS) and vasoactive-inotropic score (VIS) were created to quantify doses of vasoactive and inotropic drugs. The number of studies where IS and VIS were used for evaluation of postoperative period of adult patients after cardiac surgery is small. Objective: to estimate IS and VIS as an approach for monitoring of the hemodynamic profile and clinical outcomes in the early postoperative period of cardiac surgery. Methods. The study involved 144 patients older than 18 years who underwent cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). In perioperative period we measured cardiac output using a Swan-Ganz catheter with the calculation of central hemodynamic parameters, and also VIS and IS were calculated. We evaluated the prognostic value of these pharmacological scores in the development of complications of the early postoperative period, as well as their correlation with the duration of respiratory support, the length of stay in the ICU, and total hospital time. Results. IS > 10 significantly associated with prolonged respiratory support, a long stay in the ICU and with a mortality rate of 28.6 %. Patients with IS > 10 are characterized by a violation of tissue perfusion, main cause of which may be a low cardiac output syndrome. IS > 10 can be used as criteria for the low cardiac output syndrome with impaired organ perfusion. The use of this pharmacological score as a predictor of adverse clinical outcomes and increased mortality is justified. The hemodynamic profile of patients with VIS > 10 is characterized by the absence of signs of decrease cardiac output and normal organ perfusion. It has low prognostic significance for the adverse postoperative clinical outcomes and should not be used as a perioperative criteria for low cardiac output. In addition, VIS > 10 requires careful usage as a predictor of adverse postoperative outcomes and mortality.
Цель. Сравнить воздействие оксида азота (NO) и ингаляционного илопроста (ИИ) на гемодинамику пациентов с легочной гипертензией (ЛГ), ассоцииро-ванной с выраженной систолической дисфункцией левого желудочка (ЛЖ). Материал и методы. Проведено ретроспективное описательное исследова-ние результатов 158 последовательно выполненных тестов на обратимость ЛГ с применением NO и ИИ у 124 кандидатов на трансплантацию сердца, имею-щих легочное сосудистое сопротивление (ЛСС) более 2,5 ед. Вуда. Обследо-вано 32 женщины и 92 мужчины (средний возраст 48,9±11,2 года) с сердечной недостаточностью (СН) ишемического (n=59) и некоронарогенного (n=65) генеза, имеющих фракцию выброса левого желудочка (ФВ ЛЖ) 22,5±5,2%. Ингаляция NO с концентрацией 80 ppm применялась в 47 случаях (39 пациен-тов), ИИ в дозе 20 мкг -в 111 случаях (93 пациента). Измерение давления в легочной артерии (ЛА) и показателей гемодинамики выполняли с примене-нием катетера Сван-Ганца. Данные представлены в виде среднее ± стандарт-ное отклонение. Результаты. Отмечено снижение среднего давления в легочной артерии (ДЛАср.): на фоне NO с 34,7±8,4 до 32,7±9,7 мм рт.ст. (p=0,015), ИИ с 36,7±10 до 31,1±9,2 мм рт.ст. (p<0,001). ЛСС снизилось на фоне NO с 4,8±1,7 до 3,6±1,6 ед. Вуда (p<0,001) и на фоне ИИ -с 4,9±2 до 3,1±1,4 ед. Вуда (p<0,001 98Повышение давления в малом круге кровообра-щения закономерно сопровождает систолическую дисфункцию левого желудочка (ЛЖ) и, в соответ-ствии с современной классификацией, относится ко второму типу легочной гипертензии (ЛГ) [1]. Глав-ной причиной ЛГ в этом случае является увеличение конечно-диастолического давления с развитием левопредсердной и легочной венозной гипертензии. По мере прогрессирования сердечной недостаточно-сти (СН) дополнительно к описанному посткапил-лярному пассивному компоненту развивается актив-ный прекапиллярный, связанный с эндотелиальной дисфункцией, которая проявляется снижением про-дукции основной вазодилататорной субстанции оксида азота (NO) и ростом продукции вазокон-стрикторной субстанции эндотелина-1 [1, 2]. По мере прогрессирования левожелудочковой СН доля боль-ных с прекапиллярным компонентом ЛГ увеличива-ется. Так, среди кандидатов на трансплантацию серд ца (ТС), находившихся на лечении в СЗФМИЦ им. В. А. Алмазова, у 67,8% был отмечен повышен-ный (более 2,5 ед. Вуда) уровень легочного сосудис-того сопротивления (ЛСС) [3]. До определенного времени вазоконстрикция артерий и артериол малого круга кровообращения остается обратимой и разре-шается при коррекции левожелудочковой недоста-точности. Однако постепенно пролиферация интимы и гипертрофия/гиперплазия медии трансформируют функциональный характер прекапиллярной гипер-тензии в морфологический, делая ее необратимой [2].В настоящее время установлено, что ЛГ значи-тельно утяжеляет течение хронической СН и явля-ется независимым фактором риска экстренных госпитализаций и летальности [1,2].Методы коррекции посткапиллярной пассивной ЛГ при систолической дисфункции ЛЖ хорошо известны и утверждены в международных руковод-ствах [1]. Эти подходы направлены на сниж...
The purpose of our prospective, consistent, non-randomized study was to analyze the results of vasoreactivity tests (VRT) performed with nitric oxide (NO) or inhaled Iloprost in heart transplant candidates. 72 VRTs were done in 58 candidates for heart transplantation. All patients had heart failure III-IV NYHA and pulmonary hypertension (PH) with pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) over 2.5 WU. 43 patients received NO, 80 ppm for 20 min. 29 patients inhaled 20 g of Iloprost (Ventavis, Bayer). Hemodynamic parameters were measured at baseline, 20 min after NO inhalation and 15 min following the completion of Iloprost inhalation. There were no between-group differences in the severity of patient's condition and baseline hemodynamic indicators. Both vasodilators caused statistically significant reduction in mean PAP: in the NO group it dropped (p = 0.002), in the Iloprost group the mean PAP decreased (p<0.0001). A more than 20% decrease in PAP was recorded in 13 cases (30.2%) in the NO group and in 16 cases (55.2%) in the Iloprost group (p = 0.03). A more than 20% decrease in PVR was noted in 24 cases (55.8%) in the NO group and in 24 cases (82.8%) in the Iloprost group (p<0.02). We found some differences in the effect of NO and Iloprost on LV efficiency. There were no changes in the stroke volume index (SVI) in the NO group, while inhaled Iloprost increased SVI (p<0.001). A probable cause of the increase in LV efficiency might have been the reduction of total peripheral vascular resistance (p<0.0001). There were no differences in SVI during NO inhala-tion. It should be noted in conclusion that Iloprost is more effective in decreasing mean PAP and PVR in heart transplant candidates. Inhaled Iloprost causes favorable changes in preload and afterload of the impaired LV and increases its performance.
Emphasis in this research was placed on contractility of the right ventricle with regard to its relationship with systemic hemodynamics in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The study included 25 patients (14 males, 11 females, mean age was 587 years) admitted to ICU after CABG under CPB. All patients required inotropic therapy. The criterion for prescribing inotropic support in the postoperative period was a drop of the stroke volume index of the left ventricle below 35 ml/m <sup>2</sup> provided that the values of this indicator were normal before the perfusion period. Patients with previous pathology of the right ventricle or right coronary artery were excluded from the study. To evaluate the right ventricular function and systemic hemodynamics indicators, use was made of the PiCCO plus system and VoLEF addon device. It was found out that reduced contractility of the right ventricle may cause the reduction in stroke volume of the left ventricle with normal contractility. It was also observed that the increase of preload in patients with right ventricular ejection fraction less than 30% does not improve its function but leads to the increase of its end-diastolic volume. In 68% of cases, the need in inotropic agents in the early postoperative period after CABG was associated with the drop in right ventricle contractility, in 40% - with isolated right ven-tricular dysfunction. Patients with isolated reduction in right ventricle contractility required a longer period of inotropic support and ICU stay as compared with those with left ventricular failure.
