RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is an important etiologic factor for lung injury observed after cardiac surgery. However, the impact of CPB on respiratory mucociliary function is unknown. The objective of this study was to assess the immediate effects of CPB on mucociliary transport system. METHODS: Twenty-two mixed breed of Large White and Landrace pigs with weight between 33 to 47kg assigned to control (n=10) and CPB groups (n=12) completed the study. The techniques of anesthesia and mechanical ventilation were standardized. After anesthesia induction, tracheotomy was performed and a tracheal tissue sample was excised (T0) in both groups. All animals underwent thoracotomy and aorto-bicaval CPB was installed in CPB group and maintained during 90 minutes. After weaning from CPB (T90), a second tracheal tissue sample was obtained 180 minutes after tracheotomy (T180). Mucus samples were collected from the trachea using a bronchoscope at T0, T90 and T180. Ciliary beat frequency (CBF) and in situ mucociliary transport (MCT) were studied in ex vivo tracheal epithelium. In vitro respiratory mucus characteristics were studied by mucociliary transportability in frog palate (MT), Cough clearance (CC), Contact angle (CA) and the mucus viscosity by Cone-Plate viscometer (MV). RESULTS: CBF decreased in CPB group (13.09 ± 1.91 Hz vs. 11.06 ± 2.1 Hz, p <0.05) but not in control group (13.42 ± 0.96 Hz vs. 12.98 ± 2.84 Hz). At T90 Apparent viscosity evaluated at 100 RPM increased in CPB group compared to control. No significant differences were observed in MCT, MT, CA and CC. In CPB group, it was observed loss of ciliated epithelia, submucosal edema and inflammatory cells infiltration in tracheal histology. CONCLUSION: CPB acutely compromise the tracheal mucociliary transport system. New studies are necessary to investigate if this behavior has any clinical implication
