Supportive Care Study
Summary
Study start date: March 1, 2009
Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.We conducted a single center prospective trial of infants (≤ 365 days of age) who presented to a single institution for congenital cardiac surgery. Blood was collected from study participants at 7 time points; 1) post-anesthesia induction, 2) post-CPB/pre-MUF, 3) Intensive care unit (ICU) arrival, 4) post-op hour 4, 5) post-op hour 8, 6) post-op hour 12, and 7) post-op hour 24. At each of the 7 time points blood was analyzed for levels of the following; dexamethasone, cortisol, ACTH, Interleukin (IL) 10, IL 8, and IL 6. In addition, the innate stress response was evaluated with a cosyntropin stimulation test. Each patient received a 1 mcg/1.73 m2 intravenous dose of cosyntropin at; anesthesia induction, prior to dexamethasone (time 1), ICU arrival (time 3), and 24 hours after ICU arrival (time 7). Cortisol levels were measured before (time 1, 3, and 7) and 30 minutes after cosyntropin administration (time 1a, 3a, and 7a).
