Cardiopulmonary Bypass Increases Plasma Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein Only in First Stage Palliation of Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. | LitMetric

Background: Univentricular congenital heart defects require open-heart surgery soon after birth, and are associated with risk of brain injury and poor neurologic outcome.

Methods: This is a prospective, observational study on children undergoing cardiac surgery. Plasma glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), as an early marker of brain injury, was measured by ELISA at the end of anaesthesia induction, initiation of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), the end of cooling, the end of rewarming, the end of CPB, and after protamine administration. We recorded clinical and surgical parameters to assess which CPB phase and clinical parameters were associated with a GFAP increase.

Results: We studied 13 children less than 50 months of age: 8 underwent Norwood or Damus-Kaye-Stansel palliation (group 1) and 5 underwent Fontan procedure (group 2). A GFAP increase was only observed in group 1, with the highest median value at the end of rewarming. No quantifiable levels of GFAP were measured at pre-bypass and the start of CPB stages in all patients. End of cooling and CPB-end GFAP, GFAP maximum value, and GFAP area under the curve all correlated with the CPB time spent at a cerebral regional saturation < 45% (P = 0.021, 0.028, 0.007, 0.021, respectively).

Conclusions: Children with univentricular heart defects exhibit a CPB plasma-GFAP increase only after stage 1 palliation. The maximum GFAP increase occurred at the end of rewarming. Further studies are needed to identify which clinical or surgical parameter(s) could reflect a GFAP increase during surgery for congenital heart defects, and whether GFAP levels correlate with the neurologic outcome.
