Lidocaine for lung protection in infant heart surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving a numbing medicine called lidocaine during heart surgery can help protect your baby's lungs. The hope is that this will help your baby recover better after the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be under 12 months old.
- Your baby needs surgery to repair a heart defect (not just a temporary fix).
- Your baby should be otherwise healthy enough for surgery (ASA class I-III).
- You must give written permission for your baby to take part.
- Your baby has no known allergy to lidocaine, no major other birth defects, and no serious health issues that could increase risk.
- Your baby is not currently in another clinical trial.
