Abstract
OBJECTIVES A positive fluid balance after cardiac surgery may be associated with poor outcomes; however, previous studies looking at this association have been limited by the number of deaths in the study population. Our primary aim was to determine the relationship between postoperative cumulative fluid balance and mortality in cardiac surgical patients. Secondary aims were to study the association between fluid balance and duration of mechanical ventilation, intensive care and hospital length of stay. DESIGN Case-control study. SETTING A 30-bed multidisciplinary PICU. PATIENTS All patients admitted to the PICU following cardiac surgery from 2010 to 2014. INTERVENTIONS Deaths during PICU admission following cardiac surgery (cases) were matched 1:3 with children who survived to PICU discharge (controls) using the following criteria: age at surgery (within a 20% age range), Risk Adjusted Congenital Heart Surgery (RACHS-1) category, and year of admission. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Of 1,996 eligible children, 46 died (2.3%) of whom 45 (98%) were successfully matched. Cumulative fluid balance on days 2 and 7 was not associated with PICU mortality. On multivariable analysis, factors associated with mortality were cardiopulmonary bypass time (per 10-min increase, odds ratio [95% CI], 1.06 [1.00-1.12]; p = 0.03), extracorporeal membrane oxygenation requirement within 3 days (46.6 [9.47-230.11]; p < 0.001), peak serum chloride (mmol/L) in the first 48 hours (1.12 [1.01-1.23]), and time to start peritoneal dialysis after surgery (in comparison to no peritoneal dialysis, odds ratio [95% CI] in those started on early peritoneal dialysis was 1.07 [0.33-3.41]; p = 0.90 and in late peritoneal dialysis 3.65 [1.21-10.99]; p = 0.02). Children with cumulative fluid balance greater than or equal to 5% by day 2 spent longer on mechanical ventilation (median [interquartile range], 211 hr [97-539] vs 93 hr [34-225]; p <0.001), in PICU (11 d [8-26] vs 6 [3-13]; p < 0.001) and in hospital (22 d [13-39] vs 14 d [8-30]; p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Early fluid overload is not associated with mortality. However, it is associated with increased duration of mechanical ventilation and PICU length of stay. Early peritoneal dialysis commencement (compared with late peritoneal dialysis) after surgery was associated with decreased mortality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the acute inflammatory response and cardiac output in children after surgery for ventricular septal defect. DESIGN AND SETTING Prospective, observational study in a level III multidisciplinary neonatal and pediatric intensive care unit. PATIENTS Ten children undergoing open-heart surgery for ventricular septal defect. INTERVENTIONS All children received methylprednisolone (30 mg/kg) in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) prime. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS Before and after cardiopulmonary bypass, plasma interleukin-10 and tumor necrosis factor alpha were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood by flow cytometry. Relative values (post-/pre-CPB) of interleukin-10 and tumor necrosis factor alpha were calculated. The cardiac index (CI) was measured continuously beat-to-beat by a pulse contour analysis (PiCCO). Children above the cutoff value (median cardiac index value 3.0 l min(-1) m(-2)) were designated as the normal CI group and those below this value as the low CI group. In the normal CI group the relative values of interleukin-10 remained almost seven times higher than pre-CPB values at 24 h while in the low CI group they decreased almost to pre-CPB values. Furthermore, the normal CI group, but not the low CI group, exhibited more than threefold decrease in T-lymphocytes (lymphocyte T-cells, T-helper cells, and cytotoxic T-cells) 24 h after CPB. CONCLUSIONS Children operated on for ventricular septal defect developed either a normal or low CI. The higher relative values of interleukin-10 and lower counts of lymphocyte T-cells, T-helper and cytotoxic T-cells differentiated the normal CI group from the low CI group at 24 h after cardiopulmonary bypass.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) temperature on myocardial reperfusion injury, oxidative stress, and inflammatory response in pediatric open heart surgery. METHODS Fifty-nine children (median age 78 months; interquartile range, 39-130) undergoing correction of simple congenital heart defects were randomized to receive either hypothermic (28 degrees C) or normothermic (35-37 degrees C) CPB. Troponin I and 8-isoprostane, complement activation C3a, interleukin (IL) -6, -8, and -10, were measured preoperatively, on removal of the aortic cross clamp, 30 minutes, 6, and 24 hours postoperatively. RESULTS Troponin I and 8-isoprostane were significantly raised, compared to baseline, in both groups, and remained high at 24 hours. Overall, troponin I and 8-isoprostane levels were 37% and 84% higher in the hypothermic than in the normothermic group, respectively (ratio 1.37, 95% CI 1.00 to 1.88, p = 0.053 and 1.84, 95% CI 1.22 to 2.78, p = 0.0045, respectively), and there was no evidence to suggest the treatment effect changed significantly over the time points measured (p = 0.63). Adjusting for aortic cross-clamp time reduced the effect of hypothermia on troponin (p = 0.18) but not on 8-isoprostane levels (p = 0.0028). The C3a, IL-6, and IL-8 release was similar in the two groups. The IL-10 release between the groups changed over time (p = 0.059) and examining differences at individual time points highlighted a statistically significant difference at the end of the cross-clamp time (p = 0.0079). CONCLUSIONS Normothermic CPB is associated with reduced oxidative stress compared with hypothermic CPB, and similar myocardial reperfusion injury and whole body inflammatory response, in children undergoing open heart surgery. A larger study with clinical outcomes as primary end points is now warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neutrophil and mononuclear cell functional changes represent a hallmark of inflammation during cardiopulmonary bypass and cardiovascular surgery. Knowledge of mechanisms underlying monocyte functional modulation in coronary blood may be useful to develop protective interventions that can limit ischemia/reperfusion injury. METHODS Samples of 13 patients were drawn from venous coronary sinus before cardioplegic arrest and after reperfusion. The following parameters were studied: surface molecules expression (CD18, CD11b, CD44, CD162, CD15s, CD80, CD86, CD16, CD49d, CD29, CD25, HLA-DR, Toll-like receptor-4 [TLR-4], CXCR1, CCR2, CCR5, CX3CR1), oxidative burst response, monocyte-platelet conjugates (using antibodies against CD45, CD14, CD41a), and platelet activation (CD62P, PAC-1). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were performed to measure levels of interleukin (IL)-1beta, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). RESULTS Coronary reperfusion down-modulated monocyte molecules expression, especially for CD18 (P = 0.048), CD44 (P = 0.0035), CD49d (P = 0.0029), CD29 (P = 0.032), HLA-DR (P < 0.0001), TLR-4 (P = 0.0109), CCR2 (P = 0.0184), CCR5 (P = 0.0396), and CX3CR1 (P < 0.0001). A marginal increase (P = 0.062) of a normalized adhesion index between monocytes and platelets was observed at reperfusion. No variations were detected for the monocyte oxidative burst and platelet activation. Increased levels of IL-6 (P = 0.013), TNF-alpha (P = 0.0272), and IL-10 (P = 0.0008) were measured after cardioplegia. CONCLUSIONS The lack of CD11b and CD25 variations and of the oxidative burst exclude monocyte activation at reperfusion. The high after-cardioplegia level of IL-10, the decreased expression of HLA-DR and TLR-4, and the absence of IL-1beta and IL-8 suggest an IL-10-mediated functional depression of monocyte, including their adhesive and migratory capacities. The lack of an after-cardioplegia orientation toward IL-10 producing a "macrophage-like" CD14+/CD16+ phenotype might mean that myocardial infiltrating lymphocytes are the main source of IL-10. Moreover, the increased after-cardioplegia levels of IL-6 and TNF-alpha might be due to myocardial and endothelial activations. The increased adhesion index between monocyte and platelets, without receptor variations, suggests a monocyte membrane modification induced by extracorporeal circulation.

Abstract
The purpose of this work was to investigate the clinical significance of serum levels of proinflammatory cytokines in pediatric patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass. We divided the patients in two groups: 8 neonates, and 19 non-newborn children. IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF serum levels were quantified before sternotomy, at admission to the PICU (30 min postoperatively), 24 h after the onset of surgery and 3 days after the operation. Surgical cardiac stress elicits significant increments of IL-6, IL-8 and TNF serum concentrations in both neonates and non-neonates, regardless of their preoperative clinical condition. However, in newborns the magnitude of the proinflammatory cytokine increments was, in particular with IL-8, remarkably greater than in older children. Moreover, neonate and non-neonate patients showed clearly disparate patterns of serum concentrations over time of both IL-8 and TNF. There was a marked relationship between IL-8 levels and postoperative morbidity, evaluated by pulmonary dysfunction, days on inotropic support and days of PICU stay in both neonates and non-neonates patients. In contrast, we found no relationship between serum levels of IL-6 and TNF and postoperative clinical data. Newborn and non-newborn patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass exhibit dissimilar patterns of proinflammatory cytokines. IL-8 might be implicated in the multiorganic dysfunction related to cardiopulmonary bypass in pediatric patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) induces systemic inflammation and postoperative complications depending on pro- and anti-inflammatory mechanisms. Activated polymorphonuclear cells and monocytes may be responsible for morbidity associated with CPB. Knowledge of the monocyte functional state in particular may help to develop protective interventions. METHODS Samples were drawn from venous peripheral blood (basal condition, at 4 and 24 h after CPB) and coronary blood (before and after cardioplegic arrest) of 14 patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The following phenotypic and functional parameters of the monocyte population were studied by flow cytometry: surface molecules expression (CD18, CD11a, CD11b, CD14, CD15, CD45, HLA-DR, and Toll-like receptor [TLR]-4), myeloperoxidase (MPO) content, and intracellular cytokine production (tumor necrosis factor [TNF]-alpha, interleukin [IL]-1beta, IL-6, and IL-8). RESULTS Cardiac surgery with CPB induced down-modulation of surface molecules expression on peripheral monocytes, especially at 24 h after CPB, for CD18, CD11a, and CD11b (P < 0.003) and for the CD15 adhesive cluster (P = 0.0028) and HLA-DR (P < 0.001). At 4 h after CPB, downregulation was observed for CD14 (P = 0.004), CD45 (P = 0.014), and CD15 (P = 0.0056). A loss of MPO was detected in venous peripheral (at 24 h after CPB, P = 0.01) or coronary (at reperfusion, P < 0.02) blood. The CD15 cluster complex exhibited a down-modulation in coronary blood (at reperfusion, P = 0.0003). Spontaneous intracellular production of IL-1beta, IL-6, and IL-8 decreased at 24 h after CPB (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The down-modulation of integrins and adhesive receptor expression and the loss of MPO suggest a strong activation and shedding reaction of circulating monocyte after CPB, further exacerbated by contact with coronary ischemic vessels. The changes of differentiation antigens may reflect the appearance of a partially immature population immediately after CPB. The reduced proinflammatory cytokine production, observed at 24 h after CPB, suggests a functional polarization of circulating monocytes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the clinical significance of serum levels of interleukin 10 and interferon gamma in pediatric patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass. METHODS We divided the patients into 2 groups: 8 neonates and 19 non-newborn children. Interleukin 10 and interferon gamma serum levels were quantified before sternotomy, at admission to the pediatric intensive care unit (30 minutes postoperatively), 24 hours after the onset of the operation, and 3 days after the operation. RESULTS Newborn patients displayed significantly greater amounts of serum interleukin 10 than older children, not only in regard to the peak level achieved but also at every postoperative time point analyzed. In contrast, no significant changes in interferon gamma serum levels were observed in neonates at any time point, whereas non-newborn pediatric patients showed a significant increase in interferon gamma serum concentrations immediately after the operation. This unusual pattern of cytokine response in newborn patients was not associated with modifications in cortisol serum levels. Furthermore, although neonates had significantly different surgical and clinical variables than did the non-newborn pediatric patients, the variation in interleukin 10 production in neonates could not be accounted for by differences in the magnitude of surgical injury. In the group of neonates, there were significant positive correlations between peak interleukin 10 serum levels and both partial pressure of arterial oxygen/fraction of inspired oxygen ratio and postoperative body weight gain. CONCLUSIONS Newborn patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass exhibit a distinctive biologic response pattern characterized by high levels of serum interleukin 10 without changes in serum interferon gamma. This cytokine imbalance could have potential clinical implications.

Abstract
AIM Postoperative effusions and edema and capillary leak syndrome in children after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass constitute considerable clinical problems. Overshooting immune response is held to be the cause. In a prospective study we investigated whether preoperative immune status differences exist in patients at risk for postsurgical effusions and edema, and to what extent these differences permit prediction of the postoperative outcome. METHODS One-day preoperative serum levels of immunoglobulins, complement, cytokines and chemokines, soluble adhesion molecules and receptors as well as clinical chemistry parameters such as differential counts, creatinine, blood coagulation status (altogether 56 parameters) were analyzed in peripheral blood samples of 75 children (aged 3-18 years) undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery (29 with postoperative effusions and edema within the first postoperative week). RESULTS Preoperative elevation of the serum level of C3 and C5 complement components, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, percentage of leukocytes that are neutrophils, body weight and decreased percentage of lymphocytes (all P < 0.03) occurred in children developing postoperative effusions and edema. While single parameters did not predict individual outcome, >86% of the patients with postoperative effusions and oedema were correctly predicted using two different classification algorithms. Data mining by both methods selected nine partially overlapping parameters. The prediction quality was independent of the congenital heart defect. CONCLUSION Indicators of inflammation were selected as risk indicators by explorative data analysis. This suggests that preoperative differences in the immune system and capillary permeability status exist in patients at risk for postoperative effusions. These differences are suitable for preoperative risk assessment and may be used for the benefit of the patient and to improve cost effectiveness.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enhanced expression of adhesion molecules LFA-1 (CD11a/CD18) and Mac-1 (CD11b/CD18) following cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is held responsible for postoperative complications. Surface expression of these molecules, intracellular pH (pH(i)), and oxidative burst capacity was analyzed to test for neutrophil activation during pediatric cardiac surgery. METHODS Blood samples were drawn from 36 patients (age: 3--16 years) 24 h preoperatively, after onset of anesthesia, after connection to CPB (CPB1, before and after passing CPB, n = 15), at reperfusion (CPB2), and up to 7 days postoperatively. Cells adhering to CPB filters were isolated (n = 11). Antigen expression, pH(i), and oxidative burst capacity on neutrophils was analyzed by flow cytometry. RESULTS During surgery, oxidative burst capacity was at low level with a mild increase only 1 day after surgery. pH(i) was decreased throughout the surgery. Surgery induced more than 36% decrease of LFA-1 and Mac-1 expression (P < 0.03). Up to postoperative day 7, no increase of antigen expression above baseline was found. Neutrophils isolated from filters of the CPB had increased LFA-1 and Mac-1 expression (all P < 0.05). Integrin expression on neutrophils passing the CPB at CPB1 was decreased (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Reduced adhesion molecule expression on neutrophils may be due to selective filtration of highly adhesive cells. This, in combination with low-level oxidative burst capacity, induced by immunosuppressive cytokines (e.g., interleukin-10), reduced the neutrophil activity. Our data indicate that increased activity of circulating neutrophils cannot exclusively be held responsible for postoperative complications after surgery with CPB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is known that proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines are released during and after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in infants and children. Sex steroids are known to have immunomodulatory functions, and release of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 is stimulated by progesterone in vitro. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the plasma levels of progesterone, IL-8 (proinflammatory cytokine) and IL-10, and to relate them to sex and postoperative morbidity. METHOD Eighteen infants and children (eight female) undergoing CPB were prospectively studied. Plasma levels of progesterone, IL-8 and IL-10 were determined before and 10 min after the start of CPB, and immediately after CPB; and 6 h, 24 h, 3 days and 7 days postoperatively. Organ dysfunction was identified on the basis of arbitrarily defined criteria. RESULTS After CPB, all patients showed significant increases in plasma levels of progesterone, IL-8 and IL-10. Plasma levels of IL-10 were significantly higher in female patients, except for during the immediate postoperative period. According to the criteria used, six out of 10 male patients, but none of the female patients developed multiple organ dysfunction (MOD). CONCLUSION The present study shows that CPB induces a significant and marked increase in plasma levels of progesterone in infants and children. Studies of administration of progesterone-blocking substances to male and female animals may help to elucidate the roles of sex and progesterone in the setting of CBP.

Abstract
It is well known that, subsequent to cardiopulmonary bypass, and particularly in children, an inflammatory response within the body can often result in a characteristic syndrome. Recently, it has been suggested that this phenomenon is due to a systemic inflammatory response, with significant involvement of cytokines. With this in mind, we investigated the behavior of tumour necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-6 during the operative and in the immediate postoperative period in a group of children submitted to open heart surgery. We investigated any possible relation between the levels of these cytokines in the serum and the length of cardiopulmonary bypass, with the serum levels of lactate, and with the extent of use of inotropic drugs in postoperative period. The cytokines were measured in samples withdrawn after induction of anesthesia, after 10 minutes of cardiopulmonary bypass, after re-establishment of circulation, and then 2 and 24 hours after the end of cardiopulmonary bypass. The levels of tumour necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-6 increased between the beginning and at two hours of the end of cardiopulmonary bypass. There was no correlation between the levels of these cytokines in the serum and the length of cardiopulmonary bypass, although there was a positive relation between levels of interleukin-6 and lactate in samples withdrawn at two hours of the end of bypass, and the measured levels of the cytokines correlated with the extent of inotropic drugs employed in the postoperative period.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether combined zero-balanced and modified ultrafiltration affects the systemic inflammatory response in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patients. DESIGN Randomized and controlled. SETTING University-affiliated heart center. PARTICIPANTS Forty-three patients scheduled for elective CABG. INTERVENTIONS In the ultrafiltration group (UF group; n = 21), zero-balanced ultrafiltration was performed during rewarming and modified ultrafiltration immediately after the end of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). A control group of patients (n = 22) was treated identically to the treatment group except no ultrafiltration process was performed. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Immediately after CPB (ie, after zero-balanced ultrafiltration), and again after the modified ultrafiltration, the concentrations of interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 were significantly less (p < 0.05) in the UF group compared with the control group. Both proinflammatory cytokine levels peaked at 2 and 4 hours after CPB, at which time no difference between the two groups could be observed. The levels of measured anti-inflammatory mediators (interleukin-10 and interleukin-1 receptor antagonist) did not show any difference between the two groups. Intrapulmonary shunt fraction decreased in the course of the modified ultrafiltration from 31% +/- 1.2% to 25% +/- 1.3% (p < 0.01), whereas mean arterial pressure increased (69 +/- 1.8 to 80 +/- 2.8 mmHg; p < 0.01); neither parameter changed in the control group. Time to extubation was shorter in the UF group (6.1 +/- 0.5 v 8.6 +/- 0.7 hours; p < 0.05). CONCLUSION It was concluded that the use of ultrafiltration diminished inflammatory response in a very limited time period immediately after CPB and, probably as a consequence, slightly improved clinical parameters.

Does high-dose methylprednisolone in aprotinin-treated patients attenuate the systemic inflammatory response during coronary artery bypass grafting procedures?

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To discover the possible effects of methylprednisolone on the systemic inflammatory response during aprotinin treatment. DESIGN Randomized, double-blinded study. SETTING University-affiliated heart center. PARTICIPANTS Fifty-two patients scheduled for elective coronary artery bypass grafting. INTERVENTIONS In the methylprednisolone group (n = 26), 1 g of methylprednisolone was administered 30 minutes before cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The 26 control patients received a placebo instead. High-dose aprotinin was administered to all participants. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS After CPB, the concentration of the proinflammatory cytokines, interleukin-6 and interleukin-8, was significantly less in the methylprednisolone group. The anti-inflammatory interleukin-10 concentration was, in contrast, greater. After CPB, PaO2 was greater in the methylprednisolone group (245+/-17 v 195+/-16 mmHg). Dynamic pulmonary compliance was also greater, whereas the alveolar-arterial oxygen difference was less (376+/-17 v 428+/-16 mmHg). On arrival in the intensive care unit, the oxygen delivery index was greater in the methylprednisolone group (62+/-2.7 v 54+/-2.3 mL/min/m2) and the oxygen extraction rate was less (25%+/-0.02% v 30%+/-0.02%). After CPB, the cardiac index was significantly greater in the methylprednisolone group (4.1+/-0.2 v 3.6+/-0.2 L/min/m2). These patients had less blood loss postoperatively (616+/-52 v 833+/-71 mL; p = 0.017) and a greater urine output (8,015+/-542 v 6,417+/-423 mL/24 h; p = 0.024). CONCLUSION The use of methylprednisolone attenuates the systemic inflammatory response during aprotinin treatment and improves clinical outcome parameters.
