Condition(s) studied

Children in Cardiac Intensive Care Requiring Surgery for Congenital Heart Disease

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Microdialysis probe placementMicrodialysis and Plasma samples

Microdialysis probe placement: Microdialysis probe is placed at the end of cardiac surgery in mediastinum and used during 36 hours for tissue samples until withdrawal.

Microdialysis and Plasma samples: 26 Cefazolin Free tissue concentrations 6 total plasma concentrations

Study summary

Postoperative mediastinitis is an important cause of postoperative morbidity in children. The main objective of this study is to describe the distribution of cefazolin, using as surgical antibiotic prophylaxis, in the mediastinal compartment in children after cardiac surgery for congenital heart disease. The investigators aims to build a population pharmacokinetic model of cefazolin using plasma and tissue concentrations in order to optimize and individualize cefazolin dosing regimens. Cefazolin tissue pharmacokinetics will use a microdialysis procedure.
