The Protective Effects of Sevoflurane in Pediatric Cardiac Surgery
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
During repair of a congenital heart defect the child is exposed to myocardial hypoxia. Recent studies have suggested that the paediatric myocardium is more sensitive to hypoxia and cardioplegic arrest than the adult. The protective effect of halogenated agents on ischaemia and reperfusion injury has been investigated widely in adults. The investigators hypothesis that sevoflurane applied during cardiopulmonary bypass might afford better myocardial protection during paediatric cardiac surgery.

Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Sevoflurane Patients will receive 2% sevoflurane via oxygenator during CPB |
Drug: Sevoflurane
Sevoflurane will be given at a concentration of 2% through oxygenator during CPB
|
No Intervention: Control Patients will receive only oxygen and air through oxygenator |
Other: Control
Patients will receive only oxygen and air through oxygenator

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- all cause mortality [within the first 30 days (plus or minus 3 days) after surgery]
All cause mortality after the cardaic surgery, patients will be followed up for 30 days
Secondary Outcome Measures
- serum cTnI concentrations [48 h after the surgery]
serial serum cTnI concentrations will be determined to whether sevoflurane application during CPB will decrease the cTnI release after operation.
