Background: Linear flow during cardiopulmonary bypass is considered a potential mechanism of lung damage in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We evaluated differences in lung function of patients with COPD undergoing preoperative intraaortic balloon pumping (IABP), between linear flow during cardiopulmonary bypass (IABP-off) and maintenance of pulsatile flow (IABP-on at automatic 80 bpm) during cardioplegic arrest.
Methods: Fifty patients with COPD undergoing preoperative IABP were randomized between January 2004 and July 2005 to receive nonpulsatile cardiopulmonary bypass with IABP discontinued during cardioplegic arrest (25 patients; group A), or IABP-induced pulsatile cardiopulmonary bypass (25 patients; group B). Hospital outcome, need for noninvasive ventilation, oxygenation (partial pressure of oxygen, arterial to fraction of inspired oxygen [Pao(2)/Fio(2])), respiratory system compliance, and scoring of chest radiographs were compared.
Results: There were no hospital deaths, no IABP-related complications, and no differences in postoperative noninvasive ventilation (group A: 6 of 25, 24.0% vs group B: 5 of 25, 20%; p = not significant [NS]). One patient in both groups developed pneumonia (p = NS). Intensive care and hospital stay were comparable (p = NS). Group B showed lower intubation time (8.3 +/- 5.1 hours versus group A: 13.2 +/- 6.0; p = 0.001), better Pao(2)/Fio(2) at aortic declamping (369.5 +/- 93.7 mm Hg vs 225.7 +/- 99.3; p = 0.001) at admission in intensive care (321.3 +/- 96.9 vs 246.2 +/- 109.7; p = 0.003), and at 24 hours (349.8 +/- 100.4 vs 240.8 +/- 77.3; p = 0.003). The respiratory system compliance was better in group B at the end of surgery (56.4 +/- 8.2 mL/cm H(2)O vs 49.4 +/- 7.0; p = 0.004) and 8 hours postoperatively (76.4 +/- 8.2 vs 59.4 +/- 7.0; p = 0.0001), as well as scoring of chest radiograph at intensive care admission (0.20 +/- 0.41 vs 0.38 +/- 0.56; p = 0.05) and on the first day (0.26 +/- 0.45 vs 0.50 +/- 0.67; p = 0.025).
Conclusions: Automatic 80 bpm IABP during cardioplegic arrest preserves lung function in patients with COPD.

Division of Child Neurology, Stanford Medicine Children's Health, California, USA.
Objective: Seizures are a recognized complication of critical cardiovascular illness in infants and children. We assessed the diagnostic yield of continuous video-electroencephalography (cEEG) in a pediatric and neonatal cardiovascular intensive care unit (CVICU) by the symptoms and risk factors prompting cEEG evaluation.
Methods: This retrospective case series included all consecutive cEEGs in patients ≤21 years old performed in one CVICU over 38 months.

Left ventricular (LV) free wall rupture is a rare and often fatal complication of an acute myocardial infarction. We report the case of an LV free wall rupture after the induction of general anesthesia in an elderly woman who presented for a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) procedure in the setting of an inferior wall ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) four days prior. This case emphasizes both the differential diagnosis for and the management of refractory hypotension.

Objectives: Compare outcomes of Del Nido (DN) versus conventional blood cardioplegia (BC) in the surgical repair of Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF).
Methods: Medical databases were searched to identify relevant clinical trials. Meta-analysis was conducted for primary (cardiopulmonary bypass [CPB] and aortic cross-clamp [ACC] times, hospital and intensive care unit [ICU] length of stay [LOS], mechanical ventilation time) and secondary (adverse events, lactate levels, volume of additional cardioplegia) endpoints.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the clinical application value of the central venous-arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure difference (Pv-aCO2) in postoperative cognitive dysfunction(POCD) in patients with acute aortic dissection.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the general data of 236 patients. Blood gas samples were collected from the arterial and venous lines at various time points during the surgery, including before and after the initiation of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), immediately after CPB initiation, before and after deep hypothermic circulatory arrest, 30 min after rewarming, and 5 min before weaning from CPB.
