Progressive respiratory insufficiency secondary to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is still a hazard after cardiac surgery. Pathophysiologically, impaired capillary endothelial integrity seems to be the fundamental lesion, followed by increased interstitial fluid accumulation. The reasons for this pulmonary damage are controversial; however, management of the nonperfused lungs during CPB has been widely neglected and may be partly responsible. In this study, 90 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting were randomly divided into six groups (15 patients each) with different management of the lungs during CPB: group 1, lungs collapsed (0/0); group 2, static inflation with +5 cm H2O and F1O2 1.0 (+5/1.0); group 3, static inflation with +5 cm H2O and F1O2 0.21 (+5/0.21); group 4, static inflation with +15 cm H2O and F1O2 1.0 (+15/1.0); group 5, static inflation with +15 cm H2O and F1O2 0.21 (+15/0.21); and group 6, controlled mechanical ventilation as before start of CPB (positive end-expiratory pressure [PEEP] +5 cm H2O; F1O2 1.0) (ventilation). In addition to hemodynamic monitoring, extravascular lung water (EVLW) was measured by means of a double-indicator dilution technique with heat and indocyanine green. Measurements were performed after induction of anesthesia, before onset of CPB, and immediately after weaning from bypass, as well as 60 minutes and 5 hours after termination of CPB. Pulmonary gas exchange (PaO2) and intrapulmonary shunting (Qs/Qt) were also measured. Starting from comparable, normal baseline values, EVLW was increased in all groups after weaning from CPB, with the most pronounced increase in group 4 (maximum, +35%) and group 5 (+40%).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
