• Status: Unknown status
• Trial end date: 2014-10-01

Summary

The goal of the present study was to investigate the role of pro-inflammatory cytokines in myocardial dysfunction and injury resulting from noncardiac injury in children and whether or not anti-inflammatory treatment with caudal block prevents pro-inflammatory cytokines-associated myocardial dysfunction and injury following noncardiac surgery.

• Phase: Phase 4
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No
