Variations in Electrolytes Level After Del-Nido Cardioplegia Administration in Patients Undergoing Congenital Heart Defects Surgery

Objective: To evaluate the variation (increase or decrease) in Electrolytes level after del-nido cardioplegia administration patients undergoing on pump congenital heart defect surgery.
 Study Design: The design used this study was descriptive cross-sectional.
 Place and Duration of Study: carried out at Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Department Armed Forces Institute Cardiology Rawalpindi, Pakistan from Oct 2021 to Dec 2021.
 Methodology: Patients surgery were subject interest study. sample size 147.Non-probability consecutive sampling technique used. Congenital Heart Surgery, with age < 30 years, both gender included our multiple stages (abdominal surgery, palliative surgery), Emergency patients, Chronic renal failure Re-do operations excluded study.
 Results: Sample 147 anticipated percentage 10.7% having 78(53.1%) males 69(46.9%) females who underwent cardiac surgery. Statistical test applied results are significant. There significant difference means electrolyte levels Del-Nido Cardioplegia (p-value <0.05).
 Conclusion: Our concluded that administration, imbalance electrolytes (Sodium,Potassium, Calcium) occur which causes hyperkalemia, hypernatremia hypercalcemia. Prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass time cross clamp risk factors for increased administration.
