Abstract:
A 55 year old male was admitted for dyspnea. The patient was diagnosed as acute myocardiac infarction, and coronary artery bypass grafting was performed with cardiopulmonary bypass. At postoperative day #1, Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome was developed with fever, leukocytosis, tachycardia, tachypnea and low systemic vascular resistance. The patient was recovered after being treated with high dose of (36 microgram/min) norepinephrine, and was discharged.
