Interleukin-8 Production in Patients Undergoing Cardiopulmonary Bypass: The Influence of Pretreatment with Methylprednisolone

Abstract: Pulmonary dysfunction caused by pulmonary neutrophil sequestration is a frequent postoperative complication in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery. It is yet unclear whether treatment with corticosteroids in vivo in these patients can prevent complement-mediated neutrophil activation and sequestration in the lungs. Therefore, we conducted a prospective study in order to investigate whether methylprednisolone (MP) pretreatment (30 mg/kg) could influence the appearance of IL-8 (a recently di… Show more

“…A transient rise in circulating levels of IL-8 has been reported in patients during acute myocardial infraction (26) and in those undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. (27)(28)(29). In addition, IL-8 has been detected on reperfusion of ischemic lung in the rabbit (30).…”

“…Indeed, considerable attention has been paid to the changes in pulmonary function following routine coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) [5]. It is recognized that bypass and the resulting red cell trauma can result in the release of inflammatory mediators, which, in turn, are implicated in the aetiology of increased lung permeability following bypass [6]. In addition, a sternotomy has detrimental effects on the mechanics of lung function both by altering the mechanics of rib movement [7], and by reducing the efficiency of the thoracic muscles [8].…”

“…Although bone marrow neutrophil release is stimulated during ECC (5,20), an early, transient neutropenia is frequently observed upon its commencement (20,22). Consequently, intraoperative sampling was commenced 32.9 Ϯ 6.2 min after ECC was established to ensure that any acute neutrophil sequestration was complete and flux between circulating and marginal neutrophil pools had reached equilibrium.…”
