Brain tissue pH, oxygen tension, and carbon dioxide tension in profoundly hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass. Comparative study of circulatory arrest, nonpulsatile low-flow perfusion, and pulsatile low- flow perfusion

The pH, oxygen tension, and carbon dioxide tension of canine brain tissue were experimentally examined during profoundly hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass. After core cooling, a 60-minute period of circulatory arrest was performed in group 1 (n = 8), a 120-minute nonpulsatile low-flow perfusion (25 ml/kg/min) in group 2 (n = 8), and a 120-minute pulsatile low-flow perfusion (25 ml/kg/min) in group 3 (n = 8). When the animal was rewarmed, the core temperature was raised to 32 degrees C. Brain tissue pH kept decreasing in group 1, but it showed a delayed recovery in group 2 and a rapid recovery in group 3 during core rewarming. Brain tissue oxygen tension decreased significantly in group 1. Brain tissue carbon dioxide tension increased irreversibly in group 1, increased to about 100 mm Hg and recovered to 89.9 +/- 15.3 mm Hg in group 2, and reached a plateau of about 85 mm Hg and recovered to 55.4 +/- 6.7 mm Hg in group 3. We concluded that a 120-minute period of nonpulsatile low-flow perfusion provides more protection from brain damage than a 60-minute period of circulatory arrest. Furthermore, pulsatile flow will increase the safety margin of cardiopulmonary bypass even if the flow rate is reduced to 25 ml/kg/min.
