About this trial
Acute lung injury (ALI) following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a serious complication, often prolonging the length of stay in ICU and potentially dealing to mortality. The objective of this study is to assess the mechanism of CPB-mediated acute lung injury in pediatric patients.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Are < 12months of age
Scheduled for cardiac surgical needing CPB
Preoperative SpO2 > 90%
Disqualifiers
Lack of parental (or legal guardian's) consent
Preoperative SpO2 < 90%
Preoperative oxygen therapy
Trial population
We will enroll patients \< 12 months of age who undergo CPB surgery. This patient population is associated with the highest incidence of morbidity and mortality following cardiac surgery, due to often prolonged period of CPB. Patients will be categorized into two groups: Group 1: patients who tend to have longer CPB (\> 3 h), (ASO, Stage 1, IAA repair, Truncus repair, TAPVR) and Group 2: Patients who have shorter CPB (\< 3hrs VSD, TOF, ASD).
