Correlation of Cardiac Index Measured by the PRAM Method With NIRS and Lactate Levels in Pediatric Aortic Coarctation Surgery

Résumé succinct

This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the correlation between cardiac index measured by the MostCare™ system (Pressure Recording Analytical Method, PRAM) and cerebral/renal regional oxygen saturation measured by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and arterial lactate levels in neonates and infants (body weight 2.5-3.5 kg, age 0-3 months) undergoing surgical repair of aortic coarctation. Measurements will be recorded at four intraoperative time points: after anesthesia induction, before aortic cross-clamp, 3 minutes after cross-clamp release, and at end of surgery. No additional intervention beyond standard anesthesia and surgical care will be applied.
