We compared the effects of a centrifugal pump with those of a roller pump on immune responses in 26 coronary artery bypass surgery patients during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The patients were randomly allocated into a (Biomedicus) centrifugal pump group and a (Stöckert) twin roller pump group. Leucocyte and differential counts; percentages of lymphocyte subpopulations (CD3-, CD4-, CD8-, CD16-, CD20- and CD25-positive lymphocytes) and monocytes (CD14); phytohaemagglutinin-, concanavalin A-, and pokeweed mitogen-induced and unstimulated proliferation of separated lymphocytes; unstimulated and pokeweed mitogen-stimulated production of IgG, IgM, or IgA; and plasma fibronectin, C-reactive protein and serum albumin concentrations were measured preoperatively, immediately before CPB, immediately before aortic declamping and on the first postoperative morning. Significant changes were seen in these variables, but no differences occurred between the groups.
