Pharmacokinetics of analgesics, sedatives and anaesthetic agents during cardiopulmonary bypass

Abstract: CPB produces changes in the blood-gas partition coefficient dependent on the prime used and temperature. Fortunately, the overall effect for hypothermic CPB and a crystalloid prime is only +2%. A volatile agent started during hypothermic CPB takes longer to equilibrate and agents already in use need to re-equilibrate, potentially changing the depth of anaesthesia, until equilibration is complete. As these agents are metabolized to a small degree and washout is fast, the duration of action is not prolonged afte… Show more

“…This is due to altered distribution volumes (secondary to priming of the ECC), acid-base, organ blood flow, plasma protein concentration and body temperature alterations (Gedney & Ghosh 1995). Particularly fentanyl pharmacokinetics are altered during ECC (more so than those for remifentanil; Russel et al 1997).…”

“…When administered by constant infusion, the plasma concentration of fentanyl decreased (average 30%) on commencing bypass, and then returned to pre‐bypass levels within 30 min . No relationship between temperature and fentanyl concentration has been observed . The total concentration of alfentanil decreased by 60% with the onset of bypass during a constant infusion, and the authors suggested that this could be attributed to haemodilution .…”
