Cellular chemical indices of right ventricular protection in children
Tóm tắt
Myocardial preservation during open heart surgery in children was studied using biopsies of the right ventricle taken at the beginning and end of a bypass with a Tru-Cut biopsy needle. Three assessments were used: (1) semi-quantitative cytochemical grading of Baker's acid haematein reaction, and the distribution of succinate dehydrogenase and myosin ATPase; (2) microdensitometry of the succinate dehydrogenase activity; and (3) quantitative birefringence measurements to assess the response of the myocardial fibres to ATP and calcium. For each assessment, the values at the beginning and end of the bypass were compared. In a series of 42 children, two died in low cardiac output and three others required substantial inotropic support. No patient showed deterioration in the overall cytochemical assessment. Two patients showed deterioration in birefringence, one died and one had low cardiac output. The remaining three patients who had post-operative problems had low birefringence values at the beginning of bypass. Thirty-two patients were used for the microdensitometric assays, one died and three required substantial inotropic support. Succinate dehydrogenase activity decreased significantly during bypass in only two patients. One of these died and the other required substantial inotropic support.
