SPECS: Safe Pediatric Euglycemia in Cardiac Surgery

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Heart Defects, Congenital, Hyperglycemia

In brief

Critically ill children, including children undergoing heart surgery, commonly develop elevated blood glucose (also known as "blood sugar") levels during their illness, which can lead to poor health outcomes and an increased risk of death. This study will examine the effectiveness of maintaining normal blood glucose levels at decreasing infections and improving recovery in young children undergoing heart surgery.
