ABSTRACT
Clinical experience carried out on 88 high risk patients subjected to open-heart surgery with ECC is reported. The series was subdivided into two groups of patients (A and B) and to these were applied the same surgical and anaesthesiological approaches and the same extracorporeal perfusion technique. In Group B, however, a different method of myocardial protection was employed, in the form of preventive administration of pharmacological doses of betamethasone (3 mg/kg). The results point to a marked reduction in the incidence of postoperative complications in the heart, lungs and bloodstream in Group B compared with Group A.
