Biomarkers associated with postoperative cardiac surgery clinical outcomes in pediatric intensive care

Conclusion: The IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10 cytokines, cortisol, and lactate showed as promising molecules for elucidating mechanisms underlying clinical outcomes in the postoperative cardiac surgery period in infants and/or children under intensive care. These molecules can take on a preventive role by being used as a diagnostic and prognostic tool in the future in a protocol that allows to identify patients with high risk to develop clinical complications during the postoperative period.
