Summary
Critically ill children, including children undergoing heart surgery, commonly develop
elevated blood glucose (also known as "blood sugar") levels during their illness, which can
lead to poor health outcomes and an increased risk of death. This study will examine the
effectiveness of maintaining normal blood glucose levels at decreasing infections and
improving recovery in young children undergoing heart surgery.
