Cardiopulmonary bypass as a cause of free radical-induced oxidative stress and enhanced blood-borne isoprostanes in humans.
Free radicals are believed to be involved in postsurgery-related complications. We studied whether cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) operation has any immediate impact on the initiation of oxidative stress and inflammatory response by measuring isoprostanes and prostaglandin F2alpha during and 24 h following CPB. The levels of 8-iso-PGF2alpha (a major F2-isoprostane and biomarker of oxidative stress) and 15-keto-dihydro-PGF2alpha (a major metabolite of PGF2alpha and biomarker of inflammatory response) were measured in frequently collected plasma samples before, during, and up to 24 h postsurgery in 21 patients. 8-Iso-PGF2alpha levels significantly increased within 3 min (p <.0001) and continued until 50 min (p <.0001) during CPB. On the contrary, no significant increase of inflammatory response indicator, 15-keto-dihydro-PGF2alpha was found during and up to 24 h postoperatively. These findings establish an increased free radical-induced oxidative stress activity rather than inflammatory response after CPB.
