Brief Summary

The postoperative period after congenital heart surgery in children can be a very critical episode, where it is of utmost importance to closely monitor the circulation in these patients. Invasive hemodynamic monitoring tools available in the adult population, are often not suitable to use in small children. The Fore-Sight(TM) is a non-invasive monitor for brain tissue oxygenation (SctO2), by projecting harmless near-infrared light trough the skin, skull, and brain via a disposable sensor that is applied on the forehead of patients. In many centres, the Fore-Sight (TM) is part of the routine monitoring of children during cardio-pulmonary bypass for congenital heart surgery. Although the monitor has not been tested for this purpose, it is often continued in the postoperative phase in the intensive care unit (ICU), where it is used to monitor the hemodynamic situation of the patient. The purpose of the present study is to examine and validate the use of the Fore-Sight monitor for hemodynamic monitoring of children in the postoperative phase after cardiac surgery. The study hypothesis is whether SctO2 desaturations are predictive for future hemodynamic deterioration of the patient, and whether these SctO2 desaturations are predictive for the outcome of these patients.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The Accuracy to Predict Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) Per Patient, 6 Hours Before This Clinical Event (AKI) Occurs

    Defined according to the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcome criteria (AKI stage 2 or 3) * serum creatinine (SCr) level ≥ 2 times the baseline level, or * urine output (UO) \< 0.5 ml/kg/hour for ≥ 12 hours, or * provision of dialysis

    Predictive window of 6 hours before AKI occurence

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Hospital Length of Stay

    Hospital discharge

  • Intensive Care Unit Length of Stay

    Intensive care unit discharge

  • Duration of Mechanical Ventilation

    ICU discharge

  • Hospital Mortality

    Hospital discharge

Interventions

Also known as: Fore-Sight(TM) NIRS

Eligibility Criteria

AgeUp to 12 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17)
Sampling MethodProbability Sample
Study Population

All children younger than 12 years, admitted after cardiac surgery in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) of the university hospitals Leuven, Belgium, on mechanical ventilation or intubated after admission. Children are monitored with the FORE-SIGHT™, from admission until they are weaned off mechanical ventilation (typically, most of these patients are mechanically ventilated between 12 hours and two weeks after ICU admission).

You may qualify if:

  • younger than 12 years of age
  • Mechanically ventilated upon ICU admission or intubated after admission
  • arterial line in place
  • expected to stay at least 24 hous in the PICU

You may not qualify if:

  • actual or potential brain damage (such as traumatic brain injury, brain tumors, or patients after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), ...).
  • patients with a condition or a wound that prohibits the placement of a forehead sensor are also excluded.
