Use of del Nido Cardioplegia Solution for Different Age Groups (Pediatric/Adult) in Cardiovascular Surgery

Abstract

The use of cardioplegia is an indispensable method of myocardial protection in surgical procedures with cardiac arrest in both pediatric and adult patients. In cardiac surgery, pharmacological arrest with cardioplegia solutions is the most prevalent and valid method for myocardial protection. Although in pediatric cardiac surgery, del Nido cardioplegia solution has been used for decades, it’s use in adult cardiac surgery is a relatively new phenomenon. More data are available due to its widespread use for many years in pediatric and infant patients; however, data on its use in adult patients are more limited. del Nido cardioplegia solution has been reported to be superior in several aspects in pediatric cardiac surgery. More evidence-based studies are needed to ensure optimal use of this myocardial protection technique for different age groups in a safer way. In this review, studies on the use of del Nido cardioplegia solution in different age groups are discussed
