    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Pediatric Cardiac Surgery
    • Critical Care Medicine

    Background:

    • Pediatric cardiac surgery presents unique anesthetic challenges.
    • Optimizing anesthetic techniques is crucial for patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of two ketamine-based anesthetic techniques in pediatric cardiac surgery.
    • To compare anesthetic management strategies for complex congenital heart defect repairs.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 85 pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
    • Group 1: Ketamine, gallamine, and oxygen for great vessel surgery (n=35).
    • Group 2: Ketamine, pancuronium, nitrous oxide, and oxygen with premedication for open-heart surgery (n=50).

    Main Results:

    • Ketamine provided satisfactory analgesia and amnesia in both groups.
    • Both techniques ensured cardiovascular stability and good operating conditions.
    • Mechanical ventilation was facilitated by prolonged postoperative analgesia.
    • Mortality rates were comparable to other anesthetic agents, with 7 deaths in Group 1 and 6 in Group 2 within 48 hours post-op.

    Conclusions:

    • Ketamine-based anesthetic regimens offer suitable alternatives for pediatric cardiac surgery.
    • These techniques support hemodynamic stability and facilitate postoperative recovery.
    • Further research may explore optimizing these anesthetic combinations for specific pediatric cardiac procedures.
