[High-dose thiopental infusion in cerebral dysfunction following extracorporeal circulation].
Thiopentone (thp) infusion was administered to 33 patients with cerebral dysfunction or convulsions out of 2986 patients operated on via extracorporeal circulation because of valvular disease, coronary insufficiency, septum defects and intrathoracic aortic aneurysms. If phenytoin, diazepam and clonazepam proved ineffective, thp 10-15 mg/kg was injected slowly, followed by infusion of 2-4 mg/kg/h for 0.5-5 days. 9 patients died. 18 survivors had a good recovery, 6 were moderately disabled. In the survivors embolisation of particulate matter prevailed as a cause of cerebral dysfunction while in nonsurvivors prolonged pre- and postoperative hypotension was the main cause, with one patient suffering a hemispheric infarction. The amelioration of convulsions and psychosyndromes in the survivors is compatible with the known anticonvulsive effect of thp and its alleged influence on cerebral focal ischaemia. However, in protracted cerebral hypoperfusion as a cause of cerebral dysfunction no protection can be expected from thp. The known effects of barbiturates do not justify the use of these substances for the purpose of cerebral protection.
