Abstract
Patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery are treated perioperatively with methylol transfer agents, such as Taurolidine. Patients undergoing crystalloid cardioplegia who are treated with taurolidine show reduced levels of IL-6 and increased levels of IL-10 when compared to crystalloid cardioplegia patients administered a placebo. Crystalloid cardioplegia patients administered Taurolidine also show reduced levels of IL-6 and increased levels of IL-10 when compared to blood cardioplegia patients who were administered Taurolidine.
