RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL
Comparative Study between the Use of Multidose Standard Cardioplegia and Long Acting Del Nido Cardioplegia during Intracardiac Repair for Tetralogy of Fallot in Pediatric Patients.
Mymensingh Medical Journal : MMJ 2018 July
Pediatric myocardium is unique from mature myocardium; thus, the use of adult cardioplegia for pediatric cardiac operations may provide suboptimal myocardial protection. It is found that children undergoing heart surgery show evidence of less myocardial damage when del Nido cardioplegia is used instead of a standard cardioplegic solution. Del Nido cardioplegia solution provides a depolarized hyperkalaemic arrest lasting up to 60 minutes, reduces spontaneous and inducible activity during arrest, and prevents hyper contraction during early reperfusion. In this single blind randomized trial, a total of 60 patients underwent intra cardiac repair for TOF in National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases, Dhaka, Bangladesh from July 2014 to January 2016 fulfilling inclusion and exclusion criteria. They were randomly assigned in two groups- 30 patients in Del Nido group (Group A) and 30 patients in standard group (Group B). Comparison between groups was done by Chi square test and Student's test. All data were analyzed by SPSS 20.0 for windows. P value less than 0.05 was considered as significant. There was statistically significant difference among the patients in terms of mean total initial cardioplegia volume, mean number of additional dose, mean additional dose amount, mean cross clamp time, mean CPB time (331.67±188.07 vs. 458.67±226.62, p=0.022; 0.13±0.35 vs. 1.27±0.89, p=0.000; 23.33±60.76 vs. 336.83±259.6, p=0.000; 45.10±10.35 vs. 59.23±23.21, p=0.003; 89.30±15.73 vs. 111.10±29.23, p=0.001 respectively). Mean post operative serum troponin I level at arrival in ICU and after 24 hours between two groups were statistically significantly different (55.60±32.91 vs. 83.5±58.99; p=0.024 and 13.01±5.84 vs. 18.16±9.51; p=0.014 respectively). The mean ventilation duration, mean ICU stay were also statistically significant. This study showed that cardiac arrest with Del Nido cardioplegia during intra cardiac repair for TOF was associated with improved myocardial protection over standard cardioplegia in terms of reduced CPB and cross clamp times, lower total volume of cardioplegia.
