Abstract
Based on the measured concentrations of interleukins or troponin T, a 30 mg/kg dose of methylprednisolone during pediatric open heart operations does not offer any additional antiinflammatory or cardioprotective benefit over a 5 mg/kg dose. Higher dose of methylprednisolone exposes patients more frequently to hyperglycemia.
