Study Summary

Cardiac surgery induces a measurable stress response in patients which leads to increased morbidity and mortality post-operatively. Through clinical observation, anesthesiologists have determined that varying the combinations of anesthesia drugs used during surgery and just after reduces the stress response, and by extension, morbidity and mortality. However, only a few studies have explored this phenomenon scientifically.

Primary Outcome

N = 48 n = 16 (LDF); n = 17 (HDF); n = 15 (LDF + Dex) ACTH assayed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); Cytokine levels in plasma were measured using the Immulite automated chemiluminometer. Measured cytokines include interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, IL-10, and tumor necrosis factor-α.
