Background: During cardiopulmonary bypass, mixed venous oxygen saturation (Svo2) is frequently measured to assess circulatory adequacy. Fluctuations in Svo2 not related to patient movement or inadequate oxygen delivery have been attributed clinically to increased cerebral oxygen consumption due to "light" anesthesia. To evaluate the relationship between anesthetic depth and Svo2, we prospectively measured bispectral index (BIS) and Svo2 values in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.

Methods: Adults scheduled for cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass were recruited for this prospective observational study. During bypass, BIS and Svo2 values were recorded every 5 min. To control for confounding effects of changes in other variables known to affect Svo2, temperature, hematocrit, bypass pump flow, muscle relaxant use, and intravenous and inhaled anesthetic doses were also recorded. Only periods with limited variation in other variables affecting Svo2 were analyzed. The relationship between BIS and Svo2 was evaluated using mixed linear regression.

Results: One thousand thirty-four data points were obtained in 41 patients. No overall association between BIS and Svo2 was observed, either in unadjusted analysis or adjusted for covariates. In data points with temperatures less than the median (T < 34.1 degrees C), a significant association between BIS and Svo2 was observed both in unadjusted (beta = -0.32, P = 0.01) and adjusted (beta = -0.27, P = 0.04) analyses.

Conclusions: In patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass, we found no overall association between BIS and Svo2. A weak but statistically significant association between BIS and Svo2 was observed in patients with temperatures less than 34.1 degrees C. These data suggest that low Svo2 values on bypass are unlikely to be due to light or inadequate anesthesia. The relationship among temperature, BIS and Svo2 deserves further study.

Hemorrhagic shock is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in pediatric trauma. Current treatment based on volume resuscitation is associated to adverse effects, and it has been proposed that vasopressors may be used in the pharmacological management of trauma. Terlipressin has demonstrated its usefulness in other pediatric critical care scenarios and its long half-life allows its use as a bolus in an outpatient critical settings.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2), internal jugular bulb venous oxygen saturation (SjvO2), mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2), and bispectral index (BIS) used to monitor cerebral oxygen balance in pediatric patients.Sixty American Society of Anesthesiologists Class II-III patients aged 1 to 4 years old with congenital heart disease scheduled for elective cardiac surgery were included in this study. Temperature, BIS, rSO2, mean arterial pressure, central venous pressure, cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), and hematocrit were recorded.

Background: To investigate possible effects of high thoracic epidural anesthesia (HTEA) on mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2) in coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABGS) MATERIAL AND METHODS: Sixty-four patients scheduled for CABGS were randomly assigned to either test (HTEA) or control group. Standard balanced general anesthesia was applied in both groups. Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), oxygen saturation (SpO2), central venous pressure (CVP), cardiac output (CO), cardiac index (CI), systemic vascular resistance (SVR), pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), mean pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP), pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP), pulmonary compliance (C), bispectral index (BIS), body temperature, SvO2, hematocrit values were recorded before induction.

The red blood cell (RBC) membrane may be reversibly opened using a lysis-resealing continuous flow method. The technology was adapted to the internalisation of an allosteric effector of haemoglobin, Inositol-Hexaphosphate (IHP). This molecule, occupying the allosteric site of 2,3 Bis-Phosphoglycerate with a very large affinity, induces a rightward shift of the oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve (ODC).
