Abstract
Del Nido cardioplegia is a type of cardioplegic solution widely used for complex congenital paediatric cardiac surgery. Its use in adult cardiac surgery is extended now. In our institute we are using it for various adult cardiac surgery patients for past one year. In this study 59 patients who underwent cardiac surgery using del Nido cardioplegia for achieving cardiac arrest, on observation it is effective for 60 to 80 minutes in maintaining arrest without spontaneous electrical activity need of frequent dose is less, surgery can be performed without work flow interruption. Recovery after cross clamp is smooth need for DC shock is very less, post-operative inotropic support were minimal and post-operative ECG and ECHO shows no evidence of perioperative ischemia. From our observation we conclude that it can be used safely in adult cardiac surgery patients also according to surgeon’s preference.
