Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Pediatric Cardiac Catheterization
Bivalirudin
CPB: Per hospital protocol, bivalirudin 1 mg/kg IV will be administered to the patient 10 minutes prior to the start of CPB along with an infusion of bivalirudin at 2.5 mg/kg/hr. Additional bolus doses of 0.5 to 1 mg/kg will be administered for ACTs less than the specified target (either 2 times baseline ACT or \> 400 seconds per the discretion of the patient's providers). 50mg of bivalirudin will be administered to the bypass circuit.
Cardiac Catheterization: Bivalirudin will be administered to the patient as 0.75mg/kg IV bolus followed by a 1.75mg/kg/hr infusion for the length of the procedure. Changes in infusion rate or bolus dosing during the procedure and post-procedure will be at the discretion of the patient's care providers.
ECMO/VAD: Dosing will be informed by the hospital's formulary recommendations(http://online.lexi.com/lco/action/doc/retrieve/docid/chibos\_f/6317841), but will ultimately be determined by patient's primary provider.
