Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Portable cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) technique has been used increasingly as a potent and effective option for emergency cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) because it can maintain more stable hemodynamics and provide better survival than conventional CPR techniques. This study was designed to develop a prototype of Korean portable CPB system and, by applying it to CPR, to discriminate whether it would be superior to standard open-chest CPR. MATERIAL AND METHOD: By using adult mongrel dogs, open-chest CPR (OCPR group, n=4) and portable-CPB CPR (CPB group, n=4) were compared with respects to restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), hemodynamics, effects on blood cells, blood gas patterns, biochemical markers, and survivals. Ventricular fibrillation-cardiac arrest (VF-CA) of arrest (VF-CA) of 4 minutes followed by basic life support (BLS) of 15 minutes was applied in either group, which was standardized by the protocol of American Heart Association. Then, advanced life support (ALS) was applied to either group under the support of internal cardiac massage or CPB. ALS was maintained until ROSC was achieved but not longer than 30 minutes regardless of the presence of ROSC. All of the measured values were expressed as means+/-SD percent change from baseline. RESULT: During the early ALS, higher mean arterial pressure was maintained in CPB group than in OCPR group (90+/-19 vs. 71+/-32 %; p<.05) and lower mean pulmonary arterial pressure was also maintained in CPB group than in OCPR group (105+/-24 vs. 146+/-6%; p<.05). ROSC was achieved in all dogs. Post-ROSC levels of hematocrit, RBC, and platelet were decreased and plasma free hemoglobin was increased significantly in CPB group compared to OCPR group (p<.05). Changes in blood gas patterns, lactate, and CK-MB levels were not different between groups. Early mortality was seen in 3 dogs in OCPR group (survival time 31+/-36 hours) and 2 in CPB group (228+/-153 hours, p=ns). The remainders in both groups showed prolonged survival. CONCLUSION: These findings indicate that portable CPB can be effective to maintain stable hemodynamics during cardiac arrest, to achieve ROSC and to prolong survival. Further study is needed to refine the portable CPB system and to meet clinical challenges.
