Abstract

The results of steroid in pediatric after cardiac surgery with steroid during extracorporeal circulation.


 Objectives: Evaluating the clinical and laboratory characteristics in pediatric patients after cardiac surgery using steroid. Methods: A prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial on 106 pediatric patients who underwent surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass at Hanoi Heart Hospital. Results: The rate of postoperative infection of the group using corticosteroids was 85.5%, the group not using corticosteroids was 96%. The rate of fever after surgery of the group using corticosteroids was 32.7%, the group not using corticosteroids was 35.3%. Troponin T concentration of group using corticosteroids was 1729.3 ± 1874.8 ng/L, group not using corticosteroids was 1855.0 ± 2658.0 ng/L. The time of mechanical ventilation and the time of recovery of the group using corticosteroids was 19.7 ± 23.6 hours and 61.8 ±


53.0 hours, the group not using corticosteroids was 19.8 ± 25.0 hours and 52 ,5 ± 39.1 hours. Conclusion: High-dose corticosteroids in this research did not cause adverse effects as mentioned in some studies, but did not bring any significant benefit to pediatric patients after cardiac surgery.
