Hyperkalemic cardioplegia for adult and pediatric surgery: end of an era?

Abstract: Despite surgical proficiency and innovation driving low mortality rates in cardiac surgery, the disease severity, comorbidity rate, and operative procedural difficulty have increased. Today's cardiac surgery patient is older, has a “sicker” heart and often presents with multiple comorbidities; a scenario that was relatively rare 20 years ago. The global challenge has been to find new ways to make surgery safer for the patient and more predictable for the surgeon. A confounding factor that may influence clinica… Show more

“…Thereafter, a bolus of 2 mmol/kg KCl was given and flushed with 2 ml normal saline via the central venous catheter to induce diastolic cardiac arrest [17]. Furthermore, 3 mmol KCl/kg/h were given continuously to maintain hyperkalemia.…”

“…However, further in vivo studies are required to test this hypothesis. Also our work may have clinical applicability on the ancillary properties of lidocaine at the site of injection during infiltration, nerve block, or epidural anesthesia [14], and on damaged endothelium such as in plaque formation, arterial and venous conduit protection for cardiopulmonary bypass grafting [69], prevention of vascular spasm during neurosurgery [70], lowering elevated intracranial pressure [71], lidocaine cardioplegia [72, 73], and other surgical applications [54]. …”

“…To ensure that return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) was not possible, we used a hyperkalemia model. With diastolic arrest, this model can be used to assess gas exchange during resuscitation, although we admit that an animal model with asphyxia adds other circumstances relevant to resuscitation after hypoxic ischemic exposure [15]. However, an asphyxia model carries the ‘risk' of ROSC.…”
