Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether fenoldopam infusion during cardiopulmonary bypass in young children with congenital heart disease is able to reduce indicators of acute kidney injury (biomarkers reduction, diuresis increase) compared to a control group.

Interventions

DRUGPlacebo

Saline continuous infusion during cardiopulmonary by pass at 1 ml/h

Fenoldopam continuous infusion at 1 mcg/kg/min during cardiopulmonary bypass. Infusion preparation is mad in order to match the rate 1 ml/h of placebo infusion.
