Exhaled nitric oxide before and after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass—response to acetylcholine and nitroglycerin

Abstract: Interestingly, pulmonary vascular dysfunction after CPB was accompanied by a reduction in the exhaled nitric oxide response to nitroglycerin and lower levels of basal exhaled nitric oxide. The ACh-induced responses in exhaled nitric oxide were unchanged, which could indicate nitric oxide-independent mechanisms behind the endothelial dysfunction in this study. The possibility of using exhaled nitric oxide dynamics to investigate pulmonary endothelial dysfunction merits further studies.

“…Indeed, similar values were detected in the control group (0.17 ± 0.13) and preoperative CABG patients (0.18 ± 0.11), whereas only slightly higher levels were found in the preoperative valve patients (0.25 ± 0.16) compared with the other groups ( Figure 4). Pre (0.25 ± 0.16) and postoperative (0.20 ± 0.19) plasma NO 2 -concentrations in patients submitted to valve surgery were similar (P = 0.6875). In the group that underwent CABG, the plasma NO 2 -concentration significantly increased postoperatively (preoperative level = 0.18 ± 0.11, postoperative level = 0.47 ± 0.55; P = 0.0156) ( Figure 5).…”

“…38,39 Along these lines, we and others have demonstrated that routine cardiopulmonary bypass alters GTN metabolism to evoke exhaled NO. 24,32,40 The major novel finding of the current study is the complete loss of GTN metabolism to produce exhaled NO in lungs subjected to prolonged ischemia and reperfusion during lung transplantation. This phenomenon may be explained by at least two major mechanisms: loss of enzyme activity and inactivation of NO.…”
