Acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase in cardiosurgical patients with postoperative delirium

Abstract: BackgroundPatients in intensive care units (ICU) are often diagnosed with postoperative delirium; the duration of which has a relevant negative impact on various clinical outcomes. Recent research found a potentially important role of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) in delirium of critically ill patients on non-surgical ICU or in non-cardiac-surgery patients. We tested the hypothesis that AChE and BChE have an impact on patients after cardiac surgery with postoperative delirium.Met… Show more

“…So far, however, there is a lack of evidence that can explain these different courses of AChE-activity in septic patients with associated septic associated encephalopathy. Some studies on delirium and cholinergic transmission in critically ill patients have addressed, among other things, the activity of the butyrylcholinesterase (peripheral cholinesterase activity, BChE-activity) (42)(43)(44). BChE-activity together with AChE-activity in the CNS is responsible for central cholinergic transmitter homeostasis.…”

“…However, unlike AChE-activity, it is not a surrogate for central cholinergic transmission (45). BChE-activity correlates inversely with the C-reactive protein and could be a predictor for the outcome of various diseases (37,44). Overall, BChE-activity appears to re ect the in ammatory level, while AChEactivity may indicate a change in central cholinergic transmission.…”

“…In several investigations addressing delirium in critically ill patients and cholinergic activity a main focus was lying on the Butyrylcholinesterase-activity (peripheral cholinesterase activity, BChE-activity) (45)(46)(47). BChE-activity is part of the central acting cholinesterases, however, it is not a surrogate for the central cholinergic transmission like the AChE-activity (48).…”

“…Komplikationen vom Typ II sind in der Regel nicht mit offensichtlichen persistierenden neurologischen Störungen verbunden, im Hinblick auf das Outcome aber keineswegs trivial (verlängerte Behandlungsdauer, erhöhte Rate allgemeiner Komplikationen, höhere Sterblichkeit im Langzeitverlauf) [8,9]. Pathophysiologisch scheinen neben anamnestischen Faktoren (vorbestehende zerebrale Defizite, eingeschränkte kardiopulmonale Leistungsbreite) und Inflammation insbesondere Störungen der zerebralen Perfusion für die Entwicklung eines Delirs bzw.…”
