Effect of Haemodynamic Changes on Epithelium-related Intestinal Injury in Off-pump Coronary Surgery

2014

Intestinal injury is thought to play a central role in the occurrence of multiorgan dysfunction after on-pump coronary surgery. Clinical benefits of off-pump revascularisation remain, however, controversial.Hepatic enzymes and plasmatic IL-6, IL-8 and intestinal-type fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP) were determined in 20 patients (age 65-75) undergoing either on-pump (n = 10) or off-pump (n = 10) coronary surgery. Haemodynamic and biochemical parameters, catecholamine and volume therapy were monitored.Central venous pressure (CVP) was significantly higher in the off-pump group during and 12h after operation (9.5 ± 1.35 vs. 6.21 ± 0.63 mmH2O, p = 0.012). Higher GGT and GLDH levels occurre…
