- Abstract:
- BACKGROUND: Afterdrop following cardiopulmonary bypass results from redistribution of body heat to inadequately warmed peripheral tissues. However, the distribution of heat between the thermal compartments and the extent to which core-to-peripheral redistribution contributes to post-bypass hypothermia remains unknown. METHODS: Patients were cooled during cardiopulmonary bypass to nasopharyngeal temperatures near 31 degrees C (n=8) or 27 degrees C (n=8) and subsequently rewarmed by the bypass heat exchanger to approximately 37.5 degrees C. A nasopharyngeal probe evaluated core (trunk and head) temperature and heat content. Peripheral compartment (arm and leg) temperature and heat content were estimated using fourth-order regressions and integration over volume from 19 intramuscular needle thermocouples, 10 skin temperatures, and "deep" foot temperature. RESULTS: In the 31 degrees C group, the average peripheral tissue temperature decreased to 31.9+/-1.4 degrees C (means+/-SD) and subsequently increased to 34+/-1.4 degrees C at the end of bypass. The core-to-peripheral tissue temperature gradient was 3.5+/-1.8 degrees C at the end of rewarming, and the afterdrop was 1.5+/-0.4 degrees C. Total body heat content decreased 231+/-93 kcal. During pump rewarming, the peripheral heat content increased to 7+/-27 kcal below precooling values, whereas the core heat content increased to 94+/-33 kcal above precooling values. Body heat content at the end of rewarming was thus 87+/-42 kcal more than at the onset of cooling. In the 27 degrees C group, the average peripheral tissue temperature decreased to a minimum of 29.8 +/-1.7 degrees C and subsequently increased to 32.8+/-2.1 degrees C at the end of bypass. The core-to-peripheral tissue temperature gradient was 4.6+/-1.9 degrees C at the end of rewarming, and the afterdrop was 2.3+/-0.9 degrees C. Total body heat content decreased 419+/-49 kcal. During pump rewarming, core heat content increased to 66+/-23 kcal above precooling values, whereas peripheral heat content remained 70+/-42 kcal below precooling values. Body heat content at the end of rewarming was thus 4+/-52 kcal less than at the onset of cooling. CONCLUSIONS: Peripheral tissues failed to fully rewarm by the end of bypass in the patients in the 27 degrees C group, and the afterdrop was 2.3+/-0.9 degrees C. Peripheral tissues rewarmed better in the patients in the 31 degrees C group, and the afterdrop was only 1.5+/-0.4 degrees C.
