Conditions

Congenital Heart Disease (CHD), Delirium - Postoperative, Sleep Problems

Brief summary

The investigators are going to conduct a prospective observational cohort study in pediatric patients aged 28 days to 14 years old scheduled for elective cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. The primary purpose of this study is to explore the effect of preoperative sleep disturbance on the incidence of postoperative delirium. Sleep status will be assessed using the Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire(BISQ) and Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ), and postoperative delirium status will be evaluated by Cornell assessment of pediatric delirium(CAPD). During the peri-operative period, children will wear actigraphs to record their sleep parameters.

Interventions

This is a observational study and there is no intervention.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The incidence of postoperative deliriumPostoperative 7 days

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The incidence of postoperative Acute kidney injuryWithin postoperative 7 days.
The incidence of postoperative Liver dysfunctionPostoperative 7 days
The duration of postoperative mechanical ventilationFrom the end of the surgery to discharge from the hospital,up to 30 days.The total hours needing mechanical ventilation support
The length of intensive care unit stayFrom the end of the surgery to discharge from the hospital, up to 30 days.The time spent in the intensive care unit.
The length of postoperative hospital stayFrom the end of the surgery to the day of discharge from the hospital, up to 30 days..
The proportions of subtypes of postoperative delirium( hypoactive, hyperactive, and mixed).Postoperative 7 days
Pain defined by the Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, and Consolability scalePostoperative 7 daysThe FLACC scale is a simple and effective tool used to assess pain in infants and non-verbal patients. It stands for Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, and Consolability. Each of these five items is scored on a scale of 0 to 2, with a higher score indicating a greater degree of pain. The total FLACC score, ranging from 0 to 10, provides a quick and reliable assessment of the patient's pain level.
Pulmonary complicationPostoperative 7 days

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
Concentration of plasma inflammatory factors.Before surgery and 24 hours after surgeryThe inflammatory cytokines include IL-6,TNF-α,IL-1β,IFN-γ,IL-17, C-reactive protein.
Types and total dosages of sedative and analgesic medicationsFrom the start of the surgery to discharge from the hospital, up to 30 days.
Concentration of plasma intestinal injury markersBefore surgery and 24 hours after surgeryIntestinal fatty acid binding protein, Zonulin, Lipopolysaccharide and so on.
Concentration of plasma blood-brain barrier injury markersBefore surgery and 24 hours after surgery
