Brief Summary: Inhaled nitrous oxide iNO will be compared to aerosolized iloprost ILO in pediatric patients after cardiac surgery with pulmonary hypertension The hypothesis is that iloprost is more effective in preventing pulmonary hypertensive crises
Detailed Description: Investigators Study Sites Single-center trial at the Department of Pediatric Cardiology Department of Cardiac Surgery and Department of Anesthesiology University Medical Center Heidelberg Germany Exploratory proof of concept study Investigator initiated trial

Indication Postoperative pulmonary hypertension in infants and children undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery for intracardiac repair of left-to-right shunt

Objectives To compare the efficacy of aerosolized iloprost with inhaled nitric oxide to prevent postoperative pulmonary hypertensive crises

Design Exploratory open label randomized study with parallel-group design

Duration of observation 72 hours

Population Infants older than 4 weeks and children less than 18 months of age presenting with left-to-right shunt and increased pulmonary blood flow Inclusion will be independent on the presence or absence of preoperative pulmonary hypertension

Sample Size

20 patients inhaled nitric oxide iNO - group
20 patients aerosolized iloprost ILO -group

Treatment

Both groups controlled ventilation sedation analgetics inotropic substances as required standardized intensive care treatment
iNO - group concentration of iNO at 10 ppm administered by mechanical ventilation
ILO - group aerosolized Iloprost at a dose of 05 µgkg body weight 12x 24h administered by ultrasound nebulizer

Efficacy Parameters Occurrence of minor or major pulmonary hypertensive crises PHTC

Safety Parameters Arterial blood pressure oxygen saturation complete blood count

Statistical Procedures All analyses in this exploratory trial are descriptive giving confidence intervals for differences between treatment groups

Primary analysis variable Rate of occurrence of major or minor pulmonary hypertensive crises

Secondary variables Presence of hours of pulmonary hypertension Duration of mechanical ventilation
