NCT ID NCT05101746

Summary

This study is testing if adding nitric oxide gas to the heart-lung machine during surgery helps protect babies' brains and kidneys. It involves infants under 1 year old who need surgery to fix a congenital heart defect. Researchers will measure specific proteins in the blood before and after surgery to see if the gas reduces organ damage and improves recovery.
