    ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to measure the changes in isoflurane requirements during the rewarming phase of cardiopulmonary bypass with moderate hypothermia.DesignAn observational study.SettingUniversity hospital, single center.ParticipantsForty patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.InterventionsIsoflurane requirements were quantified by measuring the concentrations in the oxygenator expiratory gas. Anesthesia was guided by bispectral index monitoring.Measurements And Main ResultsIsoflurane concentrations required to maintain the bispectral index between 40 and 50 during the rewarming phase of cardiopulmonary bypass were measured. There was a progressive increase in expiratory isoflurane requirements during rewarming from 30 degrees C to 37 degrees C, with a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.78. There was a significant difference in the concentration required at 30 degrees C (0.41% +/- 0.14%) compared with 37 degrees C (1.00% +/- 0.12%).ConclusionIsoflurane requirements are reduced during hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass. Monitoring anesthetic concentrations in the oxygenator expiratory gas may be a useful adjunct to monitoring the depth of anesthesia.
