ABSTRACT
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) can lead to a systemic inflammatory response syndrome with organ failure and increased morbidity and mortality. The mechanisms of these findings are still under discussion. We investigated whether anti-endotoxin core antibodies, endotoxin, and proinflammatory cytokines influence the clinical course after cardiac surgery. Seventy-eight patients undergoing CABG using CPB were investigated. Anti-endotoxin core antibodies, endotoxin, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, IL-1beta, and TNF-alpha were measured 24 h preoperatively and up to 72 h postoperatively. Patients with a postoperative mechanical ventilation time below 24 h (n = 65; Group A) were compared to patients with prolonged respirator therapy (>24 h; n = 13; Group B). Preoperative antibody levels were significantly lower in Group B (P < 0.001). In this group, antibody levels remained decreased during the observation period (P < 0.001). Endotoxin significantly increased 30' postoperatively in both groups (P < 0.002). The increase in Group B was 3-fold higher (P< 0.001). IL-8 increased postoperatively in both groups, peaking 3 h after surgery (P < 0.001). In Group B, the IL-8 release was significantly higher than in Group A (P < 0.001). IL-6 significantly increased in both groups, reaching its maximum 24 h postoperatively (P < 0.001). No differences between groups were observed. No significant changes of IL-1beta and TNF-alpha were observed. We conclude that anti-endotoxin core antibodies may be predictive of adverse outcome after cardiac surgery. The imbalance between antibodies and endotoxin results in an exaggerated increase in endotoxin and IL-8 with an impact on clinical outcome.
