First seen May 04, 2026 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how two different heart-lung bypass pumps affect the brain, heart, lungs, and kidneys of 300 children during open-heart surgery. One pump sends blood in a steady stream, while the other sends it in pulses like a natural heartbeat. The goal is to see if one method helps protect vital organs better than the other.
