Popis: During cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation (ECC), a series of immunological and inflammatory alterations occur, which trigger oxidative stress1,2. Under the nonphysiological conditions during the ECC and due to the alterations related to ischemia-reperfusion, a large amount of free radicals is formed3. These are responsible for systemic inflammation and considerable structural and functional cellular lesion4.
