Article Synopsis
- Some kids with severe stomach pain might need surgery to remove their pancreas and get healthy cells from their own pancreas to help with diabetes.
- Researchers looked at how well this surgery worked for young kids compared to older teens by testing their blood sugar after eating.
- They found that younger kids had a better chance of not needing insulin after the surgery because their new pancreas cells worked better than for the older teens.
Background/aims: The motivating randomized controlled phase I trial evaluates three sodium nitroprusside doses in a novel sodium nitroprusside-enhanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation strategy for improved end-organ perfusion relative to local standard of care. Sodium nitroprusside is a vasodilator with an established safety profile in other indications, whereas the local standard of care uses vasoconstrictors, typically epinephrine. The purpose of the proposed trial is to identify the highest safe dose of sodium nitroprusside in this new context as excessive doses may cause severe hypotension with compromised end-organ perfusion.
