Early Activation of Children Operated on under Extracorporeal Circulation by P. R. Dudov, I. A. Kozlov

“…Early activation causes a substantial reduction in the number of pulmonary complications and in the duration of all postoperative treatment stages in children with CHD, which permits the cost of cardiosurgery to be significantly decreased under the conditions of a regional clinical hospital. The procedure of total anesthesia that provides activation within 6 hours may be based on the use of the least expensive drugs (fentanyl, diazepam, ftorotan, pancuronium or pipecuronium). …”
