The efficiency of peritoneal dialysis (PD) was evaluated in newborns and infants with multiple organ dysfunction (MOD) after cardiosurgery. In 1996-2001 at A. N. Bakulev Cardiovascular Surgery Center, Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, PD was used as permanent renal replacement therapy (RRT) in 19 newborns and infants aged under 1 year after radical correction of congenital heart diseases. The mean age of infants was 6.2 +/- 4.3 months, body weight 6.1 +/- 1.7 kg. Radical correction of congenital heart diseases was carried out in all patients. The immediate postoperative period was complicated by MOD in all patients. Pronounced cardiac, respiratory, and renal insufficiency was observed in all cases. The main indication for the beginning of PD was oligouria, hypervolemia, edematous syndrome with progressive cardiorespiratory insufficiency. Multiple-modality intensive care including PD resulted in positive changes in the clinical status of infants by days 4-5 of PD: hemodynamic values, gaseous exchange function of the lungs, and laboratory values improved. Hence, PD as an RRT method in newborns and infants subjected to radical cardiosurgery proved to be effective in the complex of intensive care measures for MOD. This sufficiently simple method, requiring no expensive equipment, adequately corrects hyperhydration and hypervolemia, metabolic and electrolyte disorders, and other MOD symptoms in newborns and infants.
