Abstract
This is a study of the use of T-3 infusion in the postoperative period in 6
pediatric patients who underwent complex cardiac surgical procedures under
cardiopulmonary bypass, Normalization of serum T-3 levels was reflected in
a marked decrease in requirement of inotropic support, conversion to norma
l sinus rhythm, and progressively improving clinical course.
