Fig 1 The mean ± SD plasma concentrations of (A) interleukin (IL)-6, (B) IL-10, (C) C-reactive protein (CRP), and (D) white blood cell count collected preoperatively (T1), at 0 (T2) and 6 (T3) hours after cardiopulmonary bypass, and during postoperative days 1 to 5 (T4 to 8) in the stress-dose corticosteroid (SDC) and placebo groups. *p < 0.05 and **p < indicate a significant difference between the groups.

Fig 2 The (A) inotropic score, (B) plasma lactate, and (C) central venous saturation (Svo2) values (means ± SD) in the stress-dose corticosteroid (SDC) and placebo groups on the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) arrival, 6 hours after cessation of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), and on postoperative days (PODs) 1 to 6. ∗p < 0.05 and ∗∗p < indicate a significant difference between the study groups.

Fig 3 Plasma concentrations (means ± SD) of methylprednisolone in 20 neonates in the stress-dose corticosteroid group (SDC) undergoing cardiac operations after the intravenous administration of methylprednisolone (2 mg/kg). The time points: T1, after induction of anesthesia; T2, after weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass (CBP); T3, 6 hours after cessation of CPB; and T4, at the first postoperative morning.

Fig 4 Plasma cortisol concentrations (means ± SD) in neonates receiving stress-dose cortisone (SDC; n = 20) or placebo (n = 20) intraoperatively and postoperatively. The time-points: T1, after induction of anesthesia; T2, after weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass (CBP); T3, 6 hours after cessation of CPB; and T4 to T8, in the following 5 postoperative days.
