Abstract
Glycosaminoglycan hyaluronan (HA), a major constituent of the endothelial glycocalyx, helps to maintain vascular integrity. Preconditioning the heart with volatile anesthetic agents protects against ischemia/reperfusion injury. We investigated a possible protective effect of sevoflurane on the glycocalyx, especially on HA. The effect of pre-ischemic treatment with sevoflurane (15 minutes at 2% vol/vol gas) on shedding of HA was evaluated in 28 isolated, beating guinea pig hearts, subjected to warm ischemia (20 minutes at 37°C) followed by reperfusion (40 minutes), half with and half without preconditioning by sevoflurane. HA concentration was measured in the coronary effluent. Over the last 20 minutes of reperfusion hydroxyethyl starch (1 g%) was continuously infused and the epicardial transudate collected over the last 5 minutes for measuring the colloid extravasation. Additional hearts were fixed by perfusion after the end of reperfusion for immunohistology and electron microscopy. Sevoflurane did not significantly affect post-ischemic oxidative stress, but strongly inhibited shedding of HA during the whole period, surprisingly even prior to ischemia. Immunohistology demonstrated that heparan sulfates and SDC1 of the glycocalyx were also preserved by sevoflurane. Electron microscopy revealed shedding of glycocalyx caused by ischemia and a mostly intact glycocalyx in hearts exposed to sevoflurane. Coronary vascular permeability of the colloid hydroxyethyl starch was significantly decreased by sevoflurane vs the control. We conclude that application of sevoflurane preserves the coronary endothelial glycocalyx, especially HA, sustaining the vascular barrier against ischemic damage. This may explain beneficial effects associated with clinical use of volatile anesthetics against ischemia/reperfusion injury.

Xenon triggers pro-inflammatory effects and suppresses the anti-inflammatory response compared to sevoflurane in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. CRITICAL CARE : THE OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE CRITICAL CARE FORUM 2015; 19:365. [PMID: 26467531 PMCID: PMC4607103 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-015-1082-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2015] [Accepted: 09/27/2015] [Indexed: 12/02/2022]
Abstract
Introduction Cardiac surgery encompasses various stimuli that trigger pro-inflammatory mediators, reactive oxygen species and mobilization of leucocytes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of xenon on the inflammatory response during cardiac surgery. Methods This randomized trial enrolled 30 patients who underwent elective on-pump coronary-artery bypass grafting in balanced anaesthesia of either xenon or sevoflurane. For this secondary analysis, blood samples were drawn prior to the operation, intra-operatively and on the first post-operative day to measure the pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8/C-X-C motif ligand 8 (IL-8/CXCL8), and interleukin-10 (IL-10). Chemokines such as C-X-C motif ligand 12/ stromal cell-derived factor-1α (CXCL12/SDF-1α) and macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) were measured to characterize xenon’s perioperative inflammatory profile and its impact on migration of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). Results Xenon enhanced the postoperative increase of IL-6 compared to sevoflurane (Xenon: 90.7 versus sevoflurane: 33.7 pg/ml; p = 0.035) and attenuated the increase of IL-10 (Xenon: 127.9 versus sevoflurane: 548.3 pg/ml; p = 0.028). Both groups demonstrated a comparable intraoperative increase of oxidative stress (intra-OP: p = 0.29; post-OP: p = 0.65). While both groups showed an intraoperative increase of the cardioprotective mediators MIF and CXCL12/SDF-1α, only MIF levels decreased in the xenon group on the first postoperative day (50.0 ng/ml compared to 23.3 ng/ml; p = 0.012), whereas it remained elevated after sevoflurane anaesthesia (58.3 ng/ml to 53.6 ng/ml). Effects of patients’ serum on chemotactic migration of peripheral mononuclear blood cells taken from healthy volunteers indicated a tendency towards enhanced migration after sevoflurane anaesthesia (p = 0.07). Conclusions Compared to sevoflurane, balanced xenon anaesthesia triggers pro-inflammatory effects and suppresses the anti-inflammatory response in cardiac surgery patients even though the clinical significance remains unknown. Trial registration This clinical trial was approved by the European Medicines Agency (EudraCT-number: 2010-023942-63) and at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT01285271; first received: January 24, 2011).

Abstract
Myocardial ischemia during the perioperative period is a major cause of morbidity and mortality after surgery. Experimental data indicate that clinical concentrations of volatile anesthetics protect the myocardium from ischemia and reperfusion injury, as shown by decreased infarct size and more rapid postoperative recovery of contractile function. These anesthetics may also mediate protective effects in other organs, such as the brain and kidney. A number of recent reports have indicated that these experimentally observed protective effects might also be present in the clinical setting. Implementation of such cardioprotection during surgery may provide an additional tool in the treatment and prevention of ischemic cardiac dysfunction in the perioperative period. This review discusses the clinical studies that have focused on the potential cardioprotective effects of volatile anesthetic agents.

Abstract
Open-heart surgery triggers an inflammatory response that is largely the result of surgical trauma, cardiopulmonary bypass, and organ reperfusion injury (e.g. heart). The heart sustains injury triggered by ischaemia and reperfusion and also as a result of the effects of systemic inflammatory mediators. In addition, the heart itself is a source of inflammatory mediators and reactive oxygen species that are likely to contribute to the impairment of cardiac pump function. Formulating strategies to protect the heart during open heart surgery by attenuating reperfusion injury and systemic inflammatory response is essential to reduce morbidity. Although many anaesthetic drugs have cardioprotective actions, the diversity of the proposed mechanisms for protection (e.g. attenuating Ca(2+) overload, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, pre- and post-conditioning-like protection) may have contributed to the slow adoption of anaesthetics as cardioprotective agents during open heart surgery. Clinical trials have suggested at least some cardioprotective effects of volatile anaesthetics. Whether these benefits are relevant in terms of morbidity and mortality is unclear and needs further investigation. This review describes the main mediators of myocardial injury during open heart surgery, explores available evidence of anaesthetics induced cardioprotection and addresses the efforts made to translate bench work into clinical practice.

Abstract
There is an increasing body of evidence that volatile anaesthetics protect myocardium against ischaemic insult by a mechanism termed 'anaesthetic preconditioning'. Anaesthetic preconditioning and ischaemic preconditioning share several common mechanisms of action. Since ischaemic preconditioning has been demonstrated in organs other than the heart, anaesthetic preconditioning might also apply in these organs and have significant clinical applications in surgical procedures carrying a high risk of ischaemia-reperfusion injury. After a brief review on myocardial preconditioning, experimental and clinical data on preconditioning in non-cardiac tissues will be presented. Potential benefits of anaesthetic preconditioning during non-cardiac surgery will be addressed.

Abstract
Cardiac surgery and some noncardiac procedures are associated with a significant risk of perioperative cardiac morbid events. Experimental data indicate that clinical concentrations of volatile general anesthetics protect the myocardium from ischemia and reperfusion injury, as shown by decreased infarct size and a more rapid recovery of contractile function on reperfusion. These anesthetics may also mediate protective effects in other organs, such as the brain and kidney. Recently, a number of reports have indicated that these experimentally observed protective effects may also have clinical implications in cardiac surgery. However, the impact of the use of volatile anesthetics on outcome measures, such as postoperative mortality and recovery in cardiac and noncardiac surgery, is yet to be determined.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cardiac pump function and coronary regulation can be impaired after short-term ischemia. Recent studies with platelets (P) and neutrophils (PMN) yielded contradicting results about the "cellular" contribution to reperfusion injury. METHODS Isolated guinea pig hearts performing pressure-volume work were employed, external heart work (EHW), aortic flow (AF), coronary flow (CF) and heart rate (HR) serving as parameters of cardiac function. After global ischemia, human blood cells were given as bolus (1 min) during reperfusion (intracoronary hematocrit 7%). Expression of specific adhesion molecules (P: CD62P, CD41; PMN: integrin CD11b) was measured on cells before and after coronary passage (FACS analysis). RESULTS Postischemic recovery of pump function was significantly reduced in hearts with blood cell application (EHW: -cells 54 +/- 14%, +cells 41 +/-12%, p <0.05). Coronary response to bradykinin and reactive hyperemia were not effected. The blood-cell dependent functional loss was partly reduced by blocking CD18 (anti-CD 18) and completely abrogated by blockage of CD41 (lamifiban). The expression of CD11b on PMN and monocytes (M) and CD62P on platelets was significantly reduced in the coronary effluent and a significant decrease of CD41 on leukocytes occurred during coronary passage after ischemia. Increases in CD41 on PMN in the presence of lamifiban demasked intracoronary formation of micro aggregates (P/PMN). These micro aggregates were visualized by light microscopy. Electron microscopy revealed no significant microvascular plugging. CONCLUSION 1) A specifically blood-cell induced loss of myocardial pump function has been demonstrated after short-term ischemia. 2) CD41 (= GpIIbIIIa) on P is responsible for this cardiac reperfusion damage. 3) The effect is causally linked to the formation of micro aggregates between PMN and P, but seems attenuated in the presence of erythrocytes as compared to effects reported from experiments in which PMN and P were applied singly or co-perfused. 4) Intracoronary retention of PMN, M and platelet-leukocyte micro aggregates seems to be transient, as adherence was not confirmed by electron microscopy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac preconditioning is thought to be involved in the observed decreased coronary artery reocclusion rate in patients with angina preceding myocardial infarction. We prospectively examined whether preconditioning by sevoflurane would decrease late cardiac events in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. METHODS Seventy-two patients scheduled for elective CABG surgery were randomized to preconditioning by sevoflurane (10 min at 4 vol%) or placebo. For all patients, follow-up of adverse cardiac events was obtained 6 and 12 months after surgery. Transcript levels for platelet-endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1/CD31), catalase and heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) were determined in atrial biopsies after sevoflurane preconditioning. RESULTS Pharmacological preconditioning by sevoflurane reduced the incidence of late cardiac events during the first year after CABG surgery (sevoflurane 3% vs 17% in the placebo group, log-rank test, P=0.038). One patient in the sevoflurane group and three patients in the placebo group experienced new episodes of congestive heart failure and three additional patients had coronary artery reocclusion. Perioperative peak concentrations for myocardial injury markers were higher in patients with subsequent late cardiac events [NTproBNP, 9031 (4125) vs 3049 (1906) ng litre(-1), P<0.001; cTnT, 1.31 (0.88) vs 0.46 (0.29) microg litre(-1), P<0.001]. Transcript levels were reduced for PECAM-1 and increased for catalase but unchanged for Hsp70 in atrial biopsies after sevoflurane preconditioning. CONCLUSIONS This prospective randomized clinical study provides evidence of a protective role for pharmacological preconditioning by sevoflurane in late cardiac events in CABG patients, which may be related to favourable transcriptional changes in pro- and antiprotective proteins.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this review of the literature was to evaluate the effectiveness of anesthetics in protecting the heart against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. SOURCE Articles were obtained from the Medline database (1980-, search terms included heart, myocardium, coronary, ischemia, reperfusion injury, infarction, stunning, halothane, enflurane, desflurane, isoflurane, sevoflurane, opioid, morphine, fentanyl, alfentanil sufentanil, pentazocine, buprenorphine, barbiturate, thiopental, ketamine, propofol, preconditioning, neutrophil adhesion, free radical, antioxidant and calcium). PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Protection by volatile anesthetics, morphine and propofol is relatively well investigated. It is generally agreed that these agents reduce the myocardial damage caused by ischemia and reperfusion. Other anesthetics which are often used in clinical practice, such as fentanyl, ketamine, barbiturates and benzodiazepines have been much less studied, and their potential as cardioprotectors is currently unknown. There are some proposed mechanisms for protection by anesthetic agents: ischemic preconditioning-like effect, interference in the neutrophil/platelet-endothelium interaction, blockade of Ca2+ overload to the cytosolic space and antioxidant-like effect. Different anesthetics appear to have different mechanisms by which protection is exerted. Clinical applicability of anesthetic agent-induced protection has yet to be explored. CONCLUSION There is increasing evidence of anesthetic agent-induced protection. At present, isoflurane, sevoflurane and morphine appear to be most promising as preconditioning-inducing agents. After the onset of ischemia, propofol could be selected to reduce ischemia-reperfusion injury. Future clinical application depends on the full elucidation of the underlying mechanisms and on clinical outcome trials.

Abstract
In recent studies, we could demonstrate a myocardial dysfunction induced by homologous platelets in ischemic and reperfused guinea pig hearts. Aim of the current study was to find out whether or not this is a phenomenon specific for platelets isolated from guinea pigs and to further examine the mechanisms of a possible cardiodepressive effect of human platelets. Isolated guinea pig hearts were exposed to a 30 min low-flow ischemia (1 ml/min) and reperfused. Human thrombocytes were administered as bolus (20.000 thrombocytes/microl perfusion buffer) in the 15(th) min of ischemia or in the 1(st) or 5(th) min of reperfusion in the presence of thrombin. Recovery of external heart work (REHW) and intracoronary platelet retention (RET) were quantified in percent. In additional experiments, the GPIIb/IIIa-blocker tirofiban (10 microg/ml perfusion buffer) or the radical scavenger superoxide dismutase (SOD-10 U/ml perfusion buffer) were added. Platelet application in the absence of tirofiban, either during ischemia (REHW 75.4 +/- 4%, RET 22.2 +/- 2%) or the 1st min (REHW 71.6 +/- 1%, RET 31.2 +/- 2%) or the 5th min of reperfusion (REHW 63.2 +/- 4%, RET 40.5 +/- 1%) led to a significant reduction of REHW and a significant increase of RET. The coapplication of tirofiban, on the other hand, prevented RET at all three times of platelet application (1.1 +/- 1.7%, 0% or 2.1 +/- 1.2%, respectively). An improvement of REHW, however, could only be noticed during ischemia (89 +/- 2%), whereas coapplication of tirofiban in early (72.9 +/- 3%) or in late reperfusion (74.6 +/- 2%) did not lead to a significant increase of REHW. Coapplication of SOD, on the other hand, significantly improved REHW in early (88.1 +/- 1) or late (95.9 +/- 1) reperfusion but not during ischemia (83.5 +/- 2). Corresponding to REHW, RET was changed significantly by coapplication of SOD during early (1 +/- 2%) or late (0%) reperfusion but not during ischemia (21.1 +/- 4%). We conclude that human thrombocytes are able to induce a myocardial dysfunction in ischemic and reperfused guinea pig hearts mediated by reactive oxygen species and independent of intracoronary platelet adhesion.

Abstract
Platelets (Plt) accumulate in reperfused myocardium but their effect on myocardial necrosis has not been established. We tested the hypothesis that the effect of Plt depends on their activation status. Pig Plt were obtained before 48 min of coronary occlusion (pre-CO-Plt), 10 min after reperfusion (R-Plt), or after a 60-min sham operation (sham-Plt). Plt were infused into isolated rat hearts (n = 124) and subsequently submitted to 60 min of ischemia and 60 min of reperfusion. P-selectin expression was higher (P = 0.02) in R-Plt than in pre-CO-Plt or sham-Plt. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release during reperfusion was similar in hearts receiving pre-CO-Plt, sham-Plt, or no Plt, but R-Plt increased LDH release by 60% (P = 0.004). Activation of pre-CO-Plt with thrombin increased P-selectin expression and LDH release (P < 0.001), and these results were unaffected by tirofiban. There was a close correlation between P-selectin expression and LDH release (r = 0.84; P < 0.001), and myocardial Plt accumulation (r = 0.85; P < 0.001). We conclude that the deleterious effect of Plt on reperfused myocardium depends on their activation status as represented by P-selectin expression, which is enhanced by ischemia-reperfusion.

Abstract
Volatile anaesthetics protect the heart against reperfusion injury. We investigated whether the cardioprotection induced by sevoflurane against myocardial reperfusion injury was concentration-dependent. Fifty-eight alpha-chloralose anaesthetized rats were subjected to 25 min of coronary artery occlusion followed by 90 min of reperfusion. Sevoflurane was administered for the first 15 min of reperfusion at concentrations corresponding to 0.75 (n=11), 1.0 (n=11), 1.5 (n=13), or 2.0 MAC (n=12). Eleven rats served as untreated controls. Left ventricular peak systolic pressure (LVPSP, tipmanometer) and cardiac output (CO, flowprobe) was measured. Infarct size (IS, triphenyltetrazolium staining) was determined as percentage of the area at risk. Baseline LVPSP was 131 (126-135) mm Hg (mean (95% confidence interval)) and CO 33 (31-36) ml min(-1), similar in all groups. During early reperfusion, sevoflurane reduced LVPSP in a concentration-dependent manner to 78 (67-89)% of baseline at 0.75 MAC (not significant vs controls 99 (86-112)%), 71 (62-80)% at 1 MAC (P<0.05), 66 (49-83)% at 1.5 MAC (P<0.05) and 56 (47-65)% at 2 MAC (P<0.05). CO remained constant. While 0.75 MAC of sevoflurane had no effect on IS (34 (27-41)% of the area at risk) compared with controls (38 (31-45)%, P=0.83), 1.0 MAC reduced IS markedly to 23 (17-30)% (P<0.05). Increasing the concentration to 1.5 MAC (23 (17-30)%) and 2 MAC (23 (13-32)%, both P<0.05 vs controls) had no additional protective effect. One MAC sevoflurane protected against myocardial reperfusion injury. Increasing the sevoflurane concentration above 1 MAC resulted in no further protection.
