Abstract:Objective: Evaluation of changes in serum Interleukin-6 and pro-calcitonin levels in patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting with and without protective lung ventilation during cardiopulmonary bypass.
Methods: Randomised controlled trial. Eighty patients subjected to coronary bypass surgery were prospectively randomised to two groups: protective lung ventilation and no ventilation, during cardiopulmonary bypass. Serum interleukins - 6 levels were studied before and at6 hours, 24 hours, 48 … Show more
