Vulnerability of paediatric myocardium to cardiac surgery.
OBJECTIVE Myocardial injury is an important cause of mortality and morbidity after paediatric cardiac surgery. Data obtained from studies in animals imply that juvenile myocardium is more resistant to the effects of ischaemia and reperfusion than adult myocardium but there is little confirmatory evidence in the clinical setting. DESIGN Prospective observational study of biochemical markers of...
متن کاملTranexamic acid in paediatric cardiac surgery.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Antifibrinolytic agents are used commonly in adult cardiac surgery to reduce postoperative blood loss. Paucity of literature on the use of a newer antifibrinolytic agent tranexamic acid (TA) in children undergoing cardiac surgery promoted us to conduct this study in children with cyanotic heart disease. METHODS One hundred and twenty consecutive children with cyanotic ...
متن کاملGut permeability in paediatric cardiac surgery.
BACKGROUND Intestinal mucosal ischaemia can occur in infants and children during and after cardiac surgery. Severe decreases in mucosal perfusion may cause complications such as necrotizing enterocolitis and postoperative mortality. We investigated gut permeability in paediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery using the dual sugar permeability test and absorption of two other saccharides. ...
متن کاملComputational fluid dynamics in paediatric cardiac surgery
Computational fluid dynamics techniques have been applied to study both the local and the global haemodynamics created by different surgical reconstructions, currently used to treat complex congenital heart defects. These operations are characterised by competition of flows which can lead to postoperative failure of the surgical treatment. Different techniques have been used in order to improve...
متن کاملGlycopeptide pharmacokinetics in current paediatric cardiac surgery practice.
OBJECTIVE To examine the evolution of serum concentrations of prophylactic glycopeptides administered during state-of-the-art cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and vigorous haemodiafiltration in paediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery. METHODS We enrolled infants and children <3 years of age who, based on the preoperative microbiological screening, age and surgical complexity, were at high ...
