Complement [c] activation in 15 [human] adults undergoing total cardiopulmonary bypass was observed. Plasma levels of C3a were significantly elevated (P < 0.0001) at the beginning of the procedure; they continued to increase steadily thereafter. At the end of the procedure, C3a levels were more than 5 times higher than preoperative levels. Plasma levels of C5a (a factor that binds avidly to neutrophils) did not change significantly during cardiopulmonary bypass. There was significant neutrophilia (P = 0.03) during bypass; significant transpulmonary neutropenia (P = 0.0002) occurred when cardiopulmonary ciruclation was reestablished at partial bypass. The neutropenia is consistent with pulmonary-vascular sequestration of C5a-activated granulocytes. Incubation of blood with the nylon-mesh liner of bubble oxygenators, and vigorous oxygenation of whole blood, apparently promotes conversion of C. The C-derived inflammatory mediators C3a and C5a produced during extracorporeal circulation apparently may contribute to the pathogenesis of post-pump syndromes.
