Relationship between cerebral oxygen metabolism during coronary artery bypass graft and postoperative mental disorders in geriatric patients / 中华麻醉学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the relationship between cerebral 0, metabolism during coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) performed with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and postoperative mental disorders (POMD) in the elderly.Methods Thirty patients (13 male,17 female) aged 65-76 yr undergoing CABG performed with CPB were studied. Patients with senile dementia were excluded. The patients were premedicated with scopolamine 0.3 mg and pethidine 50mg. Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 0.05-0.1 mg?kg_(-1), propofol 0.2-0.5 mg?g_(-1), fentanyl 10-15?g?g_(-1) and vecuronium 0.1-0.3 mg?g_(-1) and maintained with isoflurane inhalation and intermittent iv boluses of fentanyl. Nasopharyngeal temperature (T) was maintained at 26℃-28℃) during CPB. Radial artery was cannulated for BP monitoring and blood sampling.Swan-Ganz was placed via right internal jugular vein (UV).Another catheter was inserted into right UV and threaded retrogradely until J point for blood sampling. Blood samples were taken from artery and UV simultaneously for blood gas analyses and determination of blood glucose and lactate concentration before anesthesia (T_1 ),immediately after induction of anesthesia (T_2), during splitting of sternum (T_3) when T was reduced to 28℃ (T_4) and rewarmed to 35℃(T_5 ) and at the end of bypass (T_6 ).Cerebral O2 delivery (CDO2 ),cerebral oxygen consumption (CMRO2),cerebral glucose consumption (CMRglu) and lactic acid production (ADVL) were calculated. POMD was assessed using CAM-ICU chart.Results (1)Seven patients developed POMD (7/30 or 23.3% ).(2) Low jugular bulb 02 saturation (SjO2 ≤50% or PjO2≤25% mm Hg) was observed in 8 patients during rewarming. The incidence was significantly higher in POMD patients (3/7 or 42.96%) than that in non-POMD patients (5/23 or 21.74%). (3) CBF/CMRO2 was significantly lower in POMD patients than in non-POMD patients during rewarming.(4) CMRO2/CMRglu was significantly lower but ADVL was significantly higher in POMD patients than in non-POMD patients during hypothermia, rewarming and at the end of CPB.(P
