Cardiac Compression of Lung Lower Lobes after Coronary Artery Bypass Graft with Cardiopulmonary Bypass

Abstract: BackgroundAtelectasis is a major cause of hypoxemia after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and is commonly ascribed to general anesthesia, high inspiratory oxygen concentration and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The objective of this study was to evaluate the role of heart-induced pulmonary compression after CABG with CPB.MethodsSeventeen patients without pre-operative cardiac failure who were scheduled for coronary artery bypass graft underwent pre- and postoperative thoracic computed tomography. The car… Show more

“…At the pulmonary level, cardiac surgery is related to increased permeability of the alveolo-capillary barrier [ 11 , 12 ] and mucociliary dysfunction [ 13 ]. Pulmonary atelectasis is very common in this context, [ 14 , 15 ].…”

“…Accumulated secretion, suppressed ciliary activity, general anesthesia, sedation, and surfactant changes might play roles in atelectasis development (Hanözü, 2006). Pulmonary collapse starts with anesthesia and continues for a few days in the post-operative period (Neves et al, 2013). The lungs are not perfused during a cardiopulmonary bypass, which causes a decrease in functional residual capacity.…”
