May indicate differential ischemic tolerance by cyanosis status during pediatric aortic clamping; leaves open whether perfusion strategies should differ.
What are the electrolyte and metabolic responses to open-heart surgery and whole-body perfusion in children with congenital cardiac defects?
The study highlights metabolic differences during open-heart surgery in children, showing cyanotic myocardium relies less on anaerobic glycolysis during aortic clamping than noncyanotic myocardium.
