The Protective Effects of Sevoflurane in Pediatric Cardiac Surgery

Not Applicable
Conditions
Congenital Heart Diseases

Other: Control
Registration Number
NCT01450956
Lead Sponsor
Xijing Hospital
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.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
all cause mortalitywithin 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
NameTimeMethod
serum cTnI concentrations48 h after the surgery

serial serum cTnI concentrations will be determined to whether sevoflurane application during CPB will decrease the cTnI release after operation.
