Seven years' experience of pediatric cardiopulmonary bypass: 8685 cases in Shanghai Children's Medical Center.

Herein we report our 7-year-experience of cardiopulmonary bypass. Between April 1, 1999, and December 31, 2005, 8685 children with congenital heart disease underwent cardiopulmonary bypass in Shanghai Children's Medical Center. The number of cases increased every year, and the number of patients younger than 1 year or weighing <10 kg also increased. Different bypass technology was adapted according to the operation. Roller pumps were used for most of the patients. Crystal cardioplegia (St. Thomas II) was used until blood cardioplegia was introduced in 2003. Ultrafiltrators were set up for infants weighing <10 kg. Mortality rates per year ranged from 1.81% to 3.70%. The most frequent complication was low cardiac output, about 12% in recent years. Arrhythmia, infection, and lung complications were the next three most frequent problems after surgery.

Direct, sensitive determination of trace amounts of dissolved ferric iron in natural water by light absorption ratio variation spectrometry.

The chromophore eriochrome cyanine R (ECR) was used to sensitively coordinate Al(II) and Fe(II) in the presence of cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) at pH 4.8. Trace amounts of Fe(III) can displace Al(III) from the Al(ECR)(CPC) ternary complex to form the Fe(ECR)(CPC) complex. The composition of the complexes was determined by the break point approach. The competitive displacement complexation was sensitive and highly selective, even if no masking reagent was added. An ongoing novel spectrophotometry, named the light-absorption ratio variation approach, was applied to the direct determination of Fe(III) in natural water with recovery between 92.5 and 106%. The detection limit was only 9 ng/mL Fe(III).
