Abstract

The efficacy of both preliminary and continuous hemodialysis during extracorporeal circulation (ECC) was evaluated in the pediatric population. Preliminary hemodialysis of the priming solution was initiated in eight children (HD-I group), while both preliminary and continuous hemodialysis during ECC was performed in another eight children (HD-II group). The control group which consisted of eight children did not undergo hemodialysis. Urine volume during ECC, perfusion pressure, and water balance were measured and compared among the three groups. In the HD-I and HD-II groups, the total urine volume during ECC was greater than in control group, but there was no significant difference. In the control group, the perfusion pressure temporally decreased after the pump was operating for five minutes, but the perfusion pressures remained stable in the HD-I and HD-II groups. Therefore, preliminary hemodialysis appears to prevent the "initial drop" seen in perfusion pressures. Water balance in the control group tended to be in positive balance, but both the HD-I and HD-II groups appeared to be in negative balance. Significant differences between HD-I and HD-II in contrast to the control group (p < 0.05) and p < 0.04, respectively) were o...Continue Reading

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
