Giant Wave

Editor’s Note:

I did three cases yesterday, the first a slam dunk CABG x 2, all vein; the second, a full-on-salvage, where when I told the patient “You have a lot of people watching out for you” …

He replied with a very serene look:

“I already have someone watching over me- ”

So what was initially billed as imminent death, became a CABG x 3 all vein- IABP- and a non-eventfull course.

And then the  nightcap for the day.  An earlier reoperation coming back for post-op hemostasis- that lasted through 1:00 am.

The point to be made here?

Study Protocol: Nitric Oxide During Cardiopulmonary Bypass to Improve Recovery in Infants With Congenital Heart Defects (NITRIC Trial): A Randomised Controlled Trial

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a major cause of infant mortality. Many infants with CHD require corrective surgery with most operations requiring cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). CPB triggers a systemic inflammatory response which is associated with low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS), postoperative morbidity and mortality. Delivery of nitric oxide (NO) into CPB circuits can provide myocardial protection and reduce bypass-induced inflammation, leading to less LCOS and improved recovery.
