Official title

Randomized Trial of Near-infrared Spectroscopy to Guide Intraoperative and Intensive Care Management in Children's Heart Surgery Requiring Cardiopulmonary Bypass

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

Heart surgery in young children involves some risks. This study looks at a new type of monitor that may reduce these risks. Near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy (NIRS) aims to measure if enough blood reaches vital organs in the body. The investigators goal is to see if this shows problems developing sooner than usual. The investigators do not know at this time if they can improve the blood supply to the vital organs. The investigators main aim is to see which responses work the best. The NIRS monitor is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The investigators will also follow the progress of recovery after surgery in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU). This will find out if using the NIRS monitor improves the outcome for children.
