Preoperative Corticosteroid Therapy in Neonates Undergoing Cardiopulmonary Bypass
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating methylprednisolone (IVMP) and methylprednisolone (two doses IVMP) for Congenital Heart Disease and Disorder of Fetus or Newborn. Completed, enrolled 77 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Randomized controlled trial of the use of glucocorticoids to improve the clinical course of neonates post-cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Neonates with congenital heart disease requiring surgery utilizing a cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)machine in the first month of life that receive ONE doses intravenous methylprednisolone (IVMP) prior to heart surgery.Compare the effects and preoperative and intraoperative IVMP (2 dose steroid)to intraoperative IVMP alone (single dose steroid) on the inflammatory response to CPB cardiopulmonary bypass.
Neonates with congenital heart disease requiring surgery utilizing a cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)machine in the first month of life that receive TWO doses intravenous methylprednisolone (IVMP) prior to heart surgery.Compare the effects and preoperative and intraoperative IVMP to intraoperative IVMP alone on the inflammatory response to CPB cardiopulmonary bypass. The hypothesis is that neonates treated with preoperative IVMP as well as the standard intraoperative IVMP will have decreased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
