N2 - BACKGROUND: Mid-line thoracotomy is a standard approach for cardiac surgery. However, little is known how this surgical approach affects the interaction between the circulation and mechanical ventilation. We studied how mid-line thoracotomy affects cardiac filling volumes and cardiovascular haemodynamics, particularly variations in stroke volume and pulse pressure caused by mechanical ventilation.METHODS: We studied 19 patients during elective coronary artery bypass surgery. Before and after mid-line thoracotomy, we measured arterial pressure, cardiac index (CI) and global end-diastolic volume index (GEDVI) by thermodilution, left ventricular end-diastolic area index (LVEDAI) by transoesophageal echocardiography and the variations in left ventricular stroke volume and pulse pressure during ventilation by arterial pulse contour analysis.RESULTS: After thoracotomy, CI increased from 2.3 (0.4) to 2.9 (0.6) litre min(-1) m(-2), GEDVI increased from 605 (110) to 640 (94) litre min(-1) m(-2), and LVEDAI increased from 9.2 (3.7) to 11.2 (4.1) cm(2) m(-2). All these changes were significant. In contrast, stroke volume variation (SVV) decreased from 10 (3) to 6 (2)% and pulse pressure variation (PPV) decreased from 11 (3) to 5 (3)%. Before thoracotomy, SVV and PPV significantly correlated with GEDVI (both P<0.01). When the chest was open, similar significant correlations of SVV (P<0.001) and PPV (P<0.01) were found with GEDVI.CONCLUSION: Thoracotomy increases cardiac filling and preload. Further, thoracotomy reduces the effect of mechanical ventilation on left ventricular stroke volume. However, also under open chest conditions, SVV and PPV are preload-dependent.
