Study summary

In pediatric patients ,undergoing elective surgical correction of aortic coarcatation one of our main concern is spinal cord protection .Our aim to study the protective effect of levosimendan versus its combination with magnesium sulphate .

Read the detailed description

Effect of levosimendan and its combination with magnesium sulphate infusion as spinal cord protection using NIRS values before Aortic cross clamp and 10,20 min after cross clamp till the end of surgery .
