Intraoperative Hyperglycemia during Infant Cardiac Surgery Is Not Associated with Adverse Neurodevelopmental Outcomes at 1, 4, and 8 Years

Abstract

Low glucose after cardiopulmonary bypass tended to relate to electroencephalographic seizures and slower electroencephalogram recovery, independent of CA duration. High glucose concentrations were not associated with worse neurodevelopmental outcomes. Avoiding hypoglycemia may be preferable to restricting glucose in infants undergoing heart surgery.
