“…Our results can only partly con®rm the improvements of clinical outcome found in previous investigations, 8 19 25 26 which may explain the shorter stay in the ICU in our study and in that of Jansen and colleagues. 8 We conclude that dexamethasone before cardiac surgery shifts the circulating cytokine pro®le towards the anti-in¯ammatory responses and may improve the postoperative course by inhibition of the systemic in¯ammatory response. Future studies should consider the correlation between circulating cytokines and clinical course.…”

“…TNF‐α, a monocyte‐derived cytokine, is known to play a central role in the development of the whole body inflammatory response syndrome regardless of its etiology. TNF‐α is a powerful inflammatory mediator released by activated leukocytes (20,21) and is currently considered one of the main factors generating fever and causing postoperative morbidity after CPB (22). Gu et al showed reduced generation of TNF‐α in using heparin‐coated circuits in CPB (7).…”
