Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify risk factors for severe hemolysis in pediatric patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass during cardiac surgery.
- Key findings indicated that younger age and higher levels of oxygen delivery, along with extended bypass duration, were significant risk factors for severe hemolysis.
- The research highlights the need for further investigation into how oxygen levels during the procedure may lead to cell damage and associated complications in these patients.
Objectives: To determine the production of 9-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid and 13-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid during cardiopulmonary bypass in infants and children undergoing cardiac surgery, evaluate their relationship with increase in cell-free plasma hemoglobin, provide evidence of bioactivity through markers of inflammation and vasoactivity (WBC count, milrinone use, vasoactive-inotropic score), and examine their association with overall clinical burden (ICU/hospital length of stay and mechanical ventilation duration).
Design: Prospective observational study.
Setting: Twelve-bed cardiac ICU in a university-affiliated children's hospital.
