Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To examine the association between cardiopulmonary bypass-related systemic inflammation and resting energy expenditure in pediatric subjects following cardiac surgery. DESIGN: Single-center, prospective cohort study. SETTING: Pediatric cardiac critical care unit in Toronto, Canada. PATIENTS: Children with congenital heart disease undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. INTERVENTIONS: Resting energy expenditure was determined by indirect calorimetry and the modified Weir equation, using VO2 and VCO2 measured by in-line respiratory mass spectrometry. Measurements were taken at baseline and 6-hour intervals from separation from cardiopulmonary bypass for a maximum of 72 hours. Plasma interleukin-6, glucose delivery, feeding status, and cardiac output (calculated by Fick equation) were monitored at each resting energy expenditure measurement. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: We studied 111 subjects at a median (interquartile range) age of 5.3 months (0.8-10.5 mo), weighing 5.7 kg (3.9-8.1 kg), of whom 88% underwent biventricular repair. Resting energy expenditure decreased from 51 kcal/kg/d to 45 kcal/kg/d during the study period. Resting energy expenditure was positively associated with increased plasma interleukin-6 (estimate variable, 1.76; p = 0.001) and inversely associated with preoperative methylprednisolone use (estimate variable, -6.7; p = 0.003) even after accounting for other predictors. Increase in cardiac output was also associated (estimate variable, 13.7; p < 0.0001) with higher resting energy expenditure. CONCLUSIONS: Resting energy expenditure ranges between 40 and 60 kcal/kg/d and decreases progressively in children following cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. It is directly associated with increased inflammation and higher cardiac output and inversely associated with anti-inflammatory strategies. Further studies are required to predict the appropriate caloric delivery in this cohort.
