In an attempt to prevent the decrease in nasopharyngeal temperature (NPT) ("afterdrop") after cardiac surgery, 30 patients undergoing hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) were randomly assigned to receive humidified heated inspired gases at 45 degrees C at the proximal end of the endotracheal tube (group I) or dry gases at room temperature (group II), from the time of termination of CPB. All patients received high flow rates on CPB during the rewarming period with the use of vasodilator drugs when necessary. Both groups were comparable with respect to total bypass time, rewarming time, and temperature at termination of CPB. In addition, the NPT was compared with the tympanic membrane temperature (TMT) in group I to assess the validity of the NPT under these conditions. The results indicate that heating and humidifying inspired gases do not prevent afterdrop and do not falsely increase the nasopharyngeal temperature. The reasons for the ineffectiveness of heated humidified gases may include a large heat deficit at termination of CPB despite a normal NPT, and the very small heat content of heated gases. Monitoring the temperature of a site that reflects the heat deficit, and a more complete rewarming during CPB are suggested as a better approach to the prevention of afterdrop.
