Abstract

Background: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of intraoperative N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on neurocognitive functions after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Methods: A total of 100 patients (83 males, 17 females; mean age 55.5±9.1 years; range 30 to 70 years) with ASA class II-III who were scheduled for CABG were included. The patients were assigned into two groups, including control group (n=50) and NAC group (n=50). For the evaluation of neurocognitive functions, mini mental test, Wechsler memory scale, digit span test, verbal fluency test, Stroop color-word test and trail making test were administered preoperatively and at postoperative third to fifth days.Results: There was no difference in demographic characteristics and operational data between the groups. Postoperative scores of neurocognitive function tests were higher in NAC group, compared to the control group. Postoperative scores were lower in some tests in the control group.Conclusion: We conclude that N-acetylcysteine has protective effects on central nervous system, as in several organ systems.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada koroner arter baypas greft (KABG) cerrahisi sonrasında ameliyat sırası uygulanan N-asetilsisteinin (NAC) nörokognitif fonksiyonlar üzerindeki etkisi değerlendirildi. Çalışma planı: Çalışmaya KABG planlanan ve ASA sınıf II-III olan toplam 100 hasta (83 erkek, 17 kadın; ort. yaş 55.5±9.1 yıl; dağılım 30-70 yıl) alındı. Hastalar, kontrol grubu (n=50) ve NAC grubu (n=50) olarak iki gruba ayrıldı. Nörokognitif fonksiyonların değerlendirilmesinde ameliyat öncesi ve ameliyat sonrası üçüncü ve beşinci günde, mini mental test, Wechsler bellek ölçeği, sayı menzil testi, verbal akıcılık testi, Stroop renk-kelime testi ve iz sürme testi kullanıldı.Bulgular: İki grup arasında demografik özellikler ve ameliyat verileri bakımından fark saptanmadı. Ameliyat sonrası nörokognitif fonksiyon test skorları NAC grubunda, kontrol grubuna kıyasla yüksek idi. Kontrol grubunda bazı testlerde ameliyat sonrası skor azalması gözlendi.Sonuç: N-asetilsisteinin birçok organ sisteminde olduğu gibi, santral sinir sistemi üzerinde de koruyucu etkileri olduğu kanısındayız.
