摘要
In a placebo-controlled double-blind study on patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) we studied the inhibited effects of dexamethasone, a high dose of methylprednisolone, and a low dose of prednisolone on the inflammatory reaction induced by CPB. During CPB two episodes of blood activation were noticed. First, the blood-material interaction caused a significant increase in complement C3a and elastase concentrations after the start of bypass (p < 0.01). Secondly, the reperfusion of the ischemic heart, lungs, and peripheral tissue, after the release of the aortic cross-clamp, caused an additional increase in C3a and elastase concentration and a statistically significant increase in leukotriene B4 (LTB4) concentration and tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) activity (p < 0.01, p < 0.05, respectively). Dexamethasone treatment effectively inhibited the increase in LTB4 concentration and t-PA activity after release of the cross-clamp (significant differences to the placebo group, p < 0.01, p < 0.05, respectively). High-dose methylprednisolone treatment was almost as effective as dexamethasone treatment, whereas low-dose prednisolone treatment was less effective that methylprednisolone in the inhibition of the inflammatory mediators (DM > MP > P). None of the corticosteroid regimens was able to inhibit the increase in complement C3a and elastase. We therefore conclude that corticosteroids do not have an effect on complement activation during CPB. However, leukocyte activation and t-PA activity after release of the aortic cross-clamp are effectively inhibited by corticosteroid treatment, in a dose-dependent way. The inhibition of this inflammatory reaction will have a favourable effect on the postoperative course in patients who have undergone CPB.
