Objective To compare the perfusion pressure between cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) through improved intubations of femoral artery-vein and routine identical flow on organic perfusion such as brain, lung, liver, kidney, intestines, etc.. Methods Twenty dogs with body weight from 10-15kg were randomly divided into two groups: thoracoscope group(n=10): CPB was set up by the right femoral artery-vein for completely video assisted cardiac operations; routine thoracotomy group(n=10): CPB was set up by the aorta-caval vein. The perfusion pressure of innominate artery, left common carotid artery, superior mesenteric artery, renal artery, homonymic and opposite side popliteal artery and the pressure of concomitant vein were measured at the following time points: instantly after induction of anesthesia (T1) , before aortic clamping (T2) , fifteen minutes after aortic clamping (T3) , fifteen minutes after aortic opening (T4) , twenty minutes after stop (T5) . The venous blood samples were collected at the preceding time points and venous oxygen saturation (SvO2) were measured. Results There were no significant difference between both groups in arterial perfusion pressure, besides perfusion pressure of homonymic popliteal artery in thoracoscope group was lower than that in routine thoracotomy group (P lt;0. 01) . Before aortic clamping, fifteen minutes after aortic clamping and fifteen minutes after aortic opening, venous pressure of renal vein, superior mesenteric vein, homonymic and opposite side popliteal vein in thoracoscope group were higher than those in routine thoracotomy group (P lt;0. 05) . SvO2 of renal vein, superior mesenteric vein, homonymic and opposite side popliteal vein in thoracoscope group were lower than those in routine thoracotomy group (P lt;0. 05) . Conclusion The improved femoral CPB has a similar perfusion pressure with routine CPB and a higher vein pressure than routine CPB below inferior vena cava after aortic intubations. So this experiment provides theoretical evidence for the organic protection of infants’ thoracoscopic extracorporeal circulation.
