Probiotics may alleviate intestinal damage induced by cardiopulmonary bypass in children.
European Journal of Cardio-thoracic Surgery 2024 April 11
OBJECTIVES: Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury induced by cardiopulmonary bypass causes intestinal epithelial barrier dysfunction, leading to dysbiosis and bacterial translocation. We conducted a randomized prospective study with two objectives: (1) to investigate epithelial barrier dysfunction and bacterial translocation induced by cardiopulmonary bypass and changes in the gut microbiota and (2) to verify whether probiotics can improve these conditions.
METHODS: Between 2019 and 2020, patients 0-15 years old scheduled to undergo cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass were enrolled and randomly allocated to 2 groups: the intervention group received probiotics, and the control group did not receive probiotics. We analyzed the microbiota in feces and blood, organic acid concentrations in feces, plasma intestinal fatty-acid binding protein, and immunological responses.
RESULTS: Eighty-two patients were enrolled in this study. The characteristics of the patients were similar in both groups. The total number of obligate anaerobes was higher in the intervention group than in the control group after postoperative day 7. We identified four clusters within the perioperative gut microbiota, and cluster changes showed a corrective effect of probiotics on dysbiosis after postoperative day 7. Organic acid concentrations in feces, incidence of bacterial translocation, Intestinal fatty-acid binding protein levels, and immunological responses, except for Interleukin -17A, were not markedly different between the two groups.
CONCLUSIONS: Administration of probiotics was able to correct dysbiosis but did not sufficiently alleviate the intestinal damage induced by cardiopulmonary bypass. More effective methods should be examined to prevent disturbances induced by cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass.
