    During cardiac surgery anesthesia, functional residual capacity (FRC) significantly increases after sternotomy but decreases after sternal closure. This impacts lung volumes and arterial oxygen levels.

    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Cardiothoracic Surgery
    • Pulmonary Physiology

    Background:

    • Functional residual capacity (FRC) is a critical lung volume measure.
    • Understanding FRC changes during cardiac surgery is vital for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To measure FRC changes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
    • To assess the impact of surgical stages on FRC and arterial oxygenation.

    Main Methods:

    • Gas washout technique used to measure FRC in eight patients.
    • FRC measured at three key surgical stages: pre-incision, post-sternotomy, and post-sternal closure.
    • Arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2) measured in 22 additional patients.

    Main Results:

    • FRC increased by 55% after sternotomy (P < 0.001).
    • FRC decreased by 16% after sternal closure compared to pre-incision levels (P < 0.05).
    • PaO2 increased with sternotomy and decreased after cardiopulmonary bypass and sternal closure.

    Conclusions:

    • Sternotomy and sternal retraction significantly increase FRC during cardiac surgery.
    • Sternal closure leads to a reduction in FRC, potentially affecting gas exchange.
    • These dynamic changes in lung volumes and oxygenation necessitate careful anesthetic and surgical management.
