Summary

This study tests whether adding nitric oxide gas to the heart-lung machine during surgery can reduce damage to the brain and kidneys in infants under 1 year old with congenital heart disease. Researchers will measure specific proteins in the blood before and after surgery and monitor for confusion and kidney function in the ICU. The goal is to see if this simple addition can improve recovery and reduce complications.
