June 26, 2012 updated by: Zaccaria Ricci, Bambino Gesù Hospital and Research Institute

Intraoperative Fenoldopam Infusion in Children Requiring Cardiopulmonary Bypass During Cardiac Surgery

The purpose of this study is to determine whether fenoldopam infusion during cardiopulmonary bypass in young children with congenital heart disease is able to reduce indicators of acute kidney injury (biomarkers reduction, diuresis increase) compared to a control group.
