About this trial

This is an interventional prevention trial for Cyanotic Heart Disease focused on measuring Paediatric population

Eligibility Criteria

1 Month - 18 Years (Child, Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria: Children 1 month- 18 years of age Undergoing Cardiac surgery for the first time and requiring CPB Surgeries for both cyatonic and acyanotic heart disease Exclusion Criteria: Pre-mature babies (< 28 weeks at birth) Neonates Prior cardiac requiring CPB Surgeries requiring CPB > 6 hours Surgeries requiring second run of CPB Patients requiring additional steroids during first 24 hours of CICU stay Patient expires within the initial 24 hours CICU stay. Compromised immune system - that is, known immunodeficiency or use of immunomodulatory therapy. Peri-operative presence of two or more clinical or laboratory signs of active infection that were not attributable to any other cause: fever more than 100°F, heart rate or respiratory rate more than the normal range for age, white blood cell count more than 15% of the upper limit of normal, and an elevated C-reactive protein level above baseline. Preoperative mechanical ventilation, and preoperative need of inotropic agents or mechanical circulatory support. Patient already receiving steroids
