Text: Although we observed no statistically significant differences in postoperative intubation time, alveolar-arterial oxygen difference, creatine kinase MB level, and pulmonary hypertension (Pp/Ps) between group I (10. 713. 4 hours, 197132 mm Hg, 14858. 6 IU/L, 42. 8 % 22. 1 %, respectively) and group II (27. 836. 5 hours, 227150 mm Hg, 15172. 6 IU/L, 50. 4 % 16. 0 %, respectively), levels of median interleukin 6 and tumor necrosis factor were lower in group I (129. 8 and 17. 0 pg/mL, respectively) than that in group II (487. 8 and 22. 5 pg/mL, respectively).
