MethodsTwenty infants with VSD were enrolled in the study fromJan. to Dec.2004. They were divided into two groups: pulmonary hypertension group and non-pulmonary hypertension group, ten infantsrespectively. Pulmonary function parameters were measured before CPB and 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24h after CPB, the following datawere recorded: duration for mechanical ventilation (Tmv) and staying in the cardiac intensive care unit (Tcicu) after cardiac surgery.Results Before CPB, the pulmonary function parameters in non-pulmonary hypertension group were more superior than in pulmonary hy-pertension group (P<0.01). By contraries, the pulmonary function parameters in every time stage after CPB statistically significant de-creased in non-pulmonary hypertension group (P<0.05), especially at 6, 9, and 15h after CPB (P<0.01). In pulmonary hyperten-sion group, the pulmonary function parameters in 3h after CPB were more improved than before CPB, though there was no statistical sig-nificance. But they had statistically significant decreased at9, 12, 15h after CPB (P<0.05). There was a similar change in pulmonaryfunction between two groups at 21, 24h after CPB. Conclusion Exposure to CPB adversely affects pulmonary function after surgicalrepair of VSD in infants. We consider that the benefits of the surgical correction in infants with pulmonary hypertension outweight the neg-ative effects of CPB on pulmonary function. We should improve cardiac function to avoid the presence of the nadir trough in pulmonaryfunction. The infants with pulomonary hypertension also have ability to wean from mechanical ventilation as soon as possible, if the hemo-dynamics is stable, and without the responsive pulmonary hypertension or pulmonary hypertension crisis after surgical repair.展开更多
