The purpose of this work was to investigate the clinical significance of serum levels of proinflammatory cytokines in pediatric patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass. We divided the patients in two groups: 8 neonates, and 19 non-newborn children. IL-1 beta, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF serum levels were quantified before sternotomy, at admission to the PICU (30 min postoperatively), 24 h after the onset of surgery and 3 days after the operation. Surgical cardiac stress elicits significant increments of IL-6, IL-8 and TNF serum concentrations in both neonates and non-neonates, regardless of their preoperative clinical condition, However, in newborns the magnitude of the proinflammatory cytokine increments was, in particular with IL-8, remarkably greater than in older children. Moreover, neonate and non-neonate patients showed clearly disparate patterns of serum concentrations over time of both IL-8 and TNF. There was a marked relationship between IL-8 levels and postoperative morbidity, evaluated by pulmonary dysfunction, days on inotropic support and days of PICU stay in both neonates and non-neonates patients. In contrast, we found no relationship between serum levels of IL-6 and TNF and postoperative clinical data. Newborn and non-newborn patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass exhibit dissimilar patterns of proinflammatory cytokines. IL-8 might be implicated in the multiorganic dysfunction related to cardiopulmonary bypass in pediatric patients.
