TL;DR: Tranexamic acid can reduce perioperative blood loss in children undergoing repeat cardiac surgery and the total transfusion requirements, total donor unit exposure, and financial cost of blood components were less in the tranexamic Acid group.

TL;DR: Fentanyl dosing strategies, with or without midazolam, do not prevent a hormonal or metabolic stress response in infants undergoing cardiac surgery and there were no deaths or postoperative complications.

TL;DR: Early tracheal extubation in the operating room after atrial septal defect (ASD) surgery in children can result in lower patient charges without compromising patient care, and this primarily reflects the absence of postoperative mechanical ventilation charges.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that iMg decreases with the onset of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in patients who weigh <10 kg, and the use of CPB on pediatric patients produces alterations in the iMG.

TL;DR: Use of epsilon-aminocaproic acid and tranexamic acid is not associated with early baffle fenestration closure after the modified Fontan procedure, and it is concluded that these agents can be used without increasing the risk of spontaneous bafflefenestrations closure.
