Abstract:
Objective To estimate the effect of early fluid removal on the early postoperative recov-ery in children after surgical repair of congenital heart disease with enlarged right ventricle via a randomized trial. Methods One hundred and twenty patients with right-sided complex congenital heart defect who un-derwent cardiac surgery by cardiopulmonary bypass during January 2017 to June 2017 were enrolled and were divided into two groups,Group-E and Group-C,when the hemodynamics was stable within 3 hours after the surgery. Patients in Group-E were treated with early fluid removal,but Group-C remained conventional thera-py. The data of the hemodynamics and outcomes were collected from the postoperative day to the 2nd day post-operation. Results Fluid removal therapy was started in Group-E at (4. 39 ± 0. 85) h postoperatively vs (10. 17 ± 2. 77) h in Group-C (P < 0. 05). Patients in Group-E showed lower extravascular lung water index (ELWI),lower fluid overload and lower NT-proBNP compared with patients in Group-C on the first day of post-operation(P < 0. 01). Also, the advantages remained in Group-E on the second day but the ELWI showed no remarkable difference. The rate of reintubation(P < 0. 05),the duration of mechanical ventilation and the length of ICU stay (P < 0. 01)were significantly reduced in Group-E. Conclusion In patients with right ventricle enlarged complex congenital heart defect who underwent cardiac surgery by cardiopulmonary bypass,utilizing early negative fluid balance when the hemodynamics are stable and the right ventricle is ob-viously enlarged could achieve negative fluid balance,get extubated and discharge from ICU earlier,also pres-ent lower extravascular lung water index, lower incidence of weaning-induced pulmonary edema and reintubation.
