OBJECTIVE: To compare postoperative (PO) pulmonary gas exchange indexes in patients submitted to myocardial revascularization (MR) with or without the application of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). METHODS:Thirty adult patients submitted to MR with CPB between March and September 2005 were randomly allocated to two groups: CPAP (n=15), patients that received CPAP at 10 cm H2O during CPB, and control (n=15), patients that didn't receive CPAP. PaO(2)/FiO2 and P(A-a)O2 were analyzed at four moments: Pre (just before CPB, with FiO2=1.0 ); Post (30 min post-CPB, with FiO2=1.0); immediate PO period (12h post-surgery, with FiO2=0.4 by using a Venturi(R) facial mask) and first PO day (24h post-surgery, with FiO2=0.5 by a facial mask). RESULTS:PaO2/FiO2 and P(A-a)O2 tend to get significantly worst as time elapsed during the postoperative period in both groups, but no differences were observed between them at any moment. When PaO2/FiO2 was subdivided into three categories, a greater prevalence of patients with values between 200 mmHg and 300 mmHg were observed in CPAP group only at moment Post (30 min post-CPB; p = 0.02). CONCLUSION:CPAP at 10 cm H2O administered during CPB, although had lightly improved PaO2/FiO2 at 30 minutes post-CPB, had no significant sustained effect on postoperative pulmonary gas exchange. We concluded that in patients submitted to MR, application of 10 cmH2O CPAP does not improve postoperative pulmonary gas exchange.
