PG - 181-187 LID - 10.1111/chd.12423 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVES: The primary aim of this study was to compare thermodilution (TD) cardiac index (TDCi) measured by injecting cold saline (C-TDCi) to saline at room temperature (R-TDCi). The secondary aim was to assess the change in body temperature with cold saline injections in children. DESIGN: This is a prospective, case control study. SETTING: Cardiac catheterization lab at Le Bonheur Children's Hospital, Memphis, Tennessee. PATIENTS: Eighty-six children 2 years (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Cardiac indexes determined by Fick, C-TDCi, and R-TDCi were equivalent in children. Saline at room temperature can be used as an alternative to cold saline to avoid potential drop in body temperature of these patients. CI - (c) 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
