Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialMilrinone and nitric oxide: combined effect on pulmonary artery pressures after cardiopulmonary bypass in children.
To investigate the effect of milrinone combined with nitric oxide (NO) on the pulmonary artery pressures (PAP) after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), for repair of congenital heart defects (CHD) in children. ⋯ The combination of milrinone and NO produced a more pronounced decrease in PAP than milrinone alone.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialEffectiveness of a circulating-water warming garment in rewarming after pediatric cardiac surgery using hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass.
To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the ALLON 2001 microprocessor-based thermoregulation system in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery requiring hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass compared with the routine thermal care. ⋯ The investigated thermoregulation system was effective in preventing the after-drop of temperature that occurs after cardiopulmonary bypass in small infants compared with routine warming methods.
