    Deep hypothermia for congenital heart defect repair is safe for children under 6 or 20 kg. While intellectual development remains stable, postoperative EEG abnormalities may be more common than expected.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Cardiac Surgery
    • Cardiovascular Physiology
    • Hypothermia in Medicine

    Background:

    • Congenital heart diseases (CHDs) are common birth defects requiring surgical intervention.
    • Deep hypothermia is a technique used during cardiac surgery to reduce metabolic demand and protect organs.
    • The safety and long-term effects of deep hypothermia in pediatric CHD correction require ongoing investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate metabolic abnormalities, postoperative complications, intellectual development, and electroencephalographic (EEG) findings in pediatric patients undergoing correction of CHDs using deep hypothermia.
    • To determine the optimal patient profile (age and weight) for safe application of this surgical method.
    • To assess the long-term neurological outcomes following hypothermic intracardiac surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 250 patients aged over 2 years who underwent CHD correction with deep hypothermia alone.
    • Assessment of metabolic parameters, postoperative complications, and intellectual quotient (IQ) through serial follow-up.
    • Postoperative electroencephalography (EEG) was utilized to evaluate neurological function.

    Main Results:

    • Lethal complications were associated with resuscitation difficulties, suggesting the method is best suited for patients under 6 years or weighing less than 20 kg.
    • No significant impairment in intellectual development was observed when comparing pre-operative and long-term follow-up IQ scores.
    • Postoperative EEG abnormalities were detected more frequently than previously recognized.

    Conclusions:

    • Hypothermic intracardiac surgery for CHDs is a safe and effective method when circulatory arrest times are limited and the procedure is performed with a thorough understanding of hypothermia's pathophysiology.
    • Careful patient selection, particularly regarding age and weight, is crucial for optimizing outcomes.
    • While intellectual development appears unaffected, the potential for postoperative EEG changes warrants further attention and monitoring.
