Intravenous Phenoxybenzamine Use in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Open-Heart Surgery

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Open-heart Surgery, Cardiopulmonary Bypass

In brief

Cardiopulmonary bypass is done with a machine that does the work of the heart and lungs during open-heart surgery. This study is to determine if intravenous (i.v.) phenoxybenzamine is safe. This drug lowers the blood pressure, making it easier for the cardiopulmonary bypass machine to deliver blood and oxygen to all of the organs and tissues.
