Brief summary describing the background
and objectives of the trial
|
Congenital heart diseases/defects (CHD), defined as structural abnormalities of the heart or intrathoracic vessels are some of the most common congenital anomalies at birth. It is estimated that between 2 - 10 in every1,000 Live Births are affected by some type of cardiac malformation. One third of those affected have critical cardiac malformations, defined as those that require immediate investigation and surgical management. Anesthesia for Pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery involves anaesthetizing very small children with congenital heart disease (CHD) for major surgical procedures that require cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). These patients require considerable expertise and in-depth knowledge of the altered physiology. There have been several developments in the last decade in this subspecialty that has contributed to better care and improved outcome. The interruption of mechanical ventilation (MV) during CPB is associated with the development of micro-atelectasis, hydrostatic pulmonary edema, reduced lung compliance and surfactant diffusion. Cardiac and pulmonary veins de-airing are of the most important steps during open heart surgery. The trapped air in heart chambers and pulmonary veins during open heart surgery is expelled in order to prevent air emboli. Air emboli can lead to cardiac arrhythmias, heart failure, cerebral complications and renal and pulmonary failure. Different techniques of de-airing have been used to both expel the air from heart chambers and prevent air emboli, including rapid shaking of the patient by the surgeon at the end of the surgery, head down position of the patient, venting of heart chambers and ascending aorta. Multiple strategies have been suggested for its prevention. These strategies may include technical modifications of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) (eg, ultrafiltration strategies), hemodilution, pharmacologic approaches (eg, use of steroids), and different ventilation techniques during and aftar CPB.Regarding the management of CPB time, three options are available:
1. Continuous-positive airway pressure (CPAP) with pressures between 5 and 10 cm H2O.
2. Mechanical ventilation: low tidal-low frequency ventilation (LTV).
3. Resting lung: this would seem to be the most comfortable option for the surgeon (NV) (Bignami et al., 2016).
