Vitamin C for infants having heart surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving vitamin C to children under 2 during corrective heart surgery helps them recover better and have shorter hospital stays. If your child is eligible, they would receive vitamin C as part of their care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be under 2 years old.
- They must be scheduled for corrective heart surgery for a congenital heart defect (a heart problem present from birth).
- Their surgery must be in the lower risk category (RACHS-1 category 1 or 2).
- Your child must not have other major health conditions (like lung, kidney, or genetic disorders).
- You or another caregiver must be willing to sign up for the study.

This study tests whether a fun, play-based activity can help lower anxiety in children who are about to have heart surgery for a congenital heart defect. The play may help children feel calmer and more relaxed before their operation.
This study helps mothers of babies born with heart defects learn to breastfeed directly, even when the baby needs heart surgery in the first month of life. Researchers want to see if direct breastfeeding improves health outcomes for both mother and baby during this critical time.
This study tests whether a home-based cardiac rehabilitation program can help children recover after heart surgery. It uses exercise and support to improve your child's health and development.
This trial studies a nutrition plan given around the time of heart surgery for babies with congenital heart disease. It may help improve how babies grow and recover by supporting feeding before and after the operation.
