Abstract

 

Background: The thyroid hormones influence on all metabolic pathways. After heart surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), serum T3 decreases and remains low for at least 24 hours. Several studies on pediatric have reported reduction of thyroid hormones after heart surgery. This study aimed to investigate the status of thyroid function tests in children with CPB surgery.

 

Methods: This study was carried out based on the available data on 132 children aged less than 15 years suffering from CHD. The patients underwent open heart surgery in Rajaie Center in Iran from January to November 2010. The thyroid hormone levels were measured shortly after admission, and postoperatively in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and thereafter at 12, 24 and 48-hour intervals. The patients’ gender, age, weight, body mass index, heart disease details, previous cardiac surgeries, and cardiac surgery-related data such as pump time, aortic clamping time, hypothermia duration, postoperative hemodynamic status and postoperative use of inotropic drugs were recorded and analyzed

 

Results: All patients showed a decrease in T3, T4 and TSH and an increase in T3-resin uptake after surgery. Eventually, 3 (3.2%) patients died. Preoperatively, there was a significant association between the reduction in the thyroid hormone levels and inotropic drugs as well as the type of the heart disease (p<0.05).

 

Conclusion: There is an association between post-operative inotropic drugs administration and reduction thyroid hormones levels in patients undergoing congenital heart disease cardiopulmonary bypass surgery.
