Article Synopsis
- Fluid overload in pediatric cardiac surgery can lead to serious health issues, and managing it is challenging, with traditional methods potentially harming kidney function.
- This study evaluated aminophylline's effect on fluid balance, urine output, and kidney function in pediatric patients after cardiac surgery, analyzing data from 72 patients who received the drug between September 2022 and December 2023.
- Results showed that aminophylline significantly reduced fluid balance by 115% and doubled urine output in the 24 hours following administration without negatively impacting kidney function markers, indicating it is a safe option for these patients.

- The findings revealed that complex forms of TGA were common, but most patients had normal coronary anatomy and successfully underwent arterial switch operations (ASO) with positive outcomes.
