Under these circumstances a typical pattern of thyroid abnormalities is seen in the absence of primary disease defined as sick euthyroid syndrome SES . The presence of postoperative SES mainly in small children and neonates exposed to long bypass times and the pharmacological profile of thyroid hormones and their effects on the cardiovascular physiology make supplementation therapy an attractive treatment option to improve postoperative morbidity and mortality. Many studies have been performed with conflicting results. In this article we review the important literature on the development of SES in paediatric postoperative cardiac patients analyse the existing information on thyroid hormone replacement therapy in this patient group and try to summarize the findings for a recommendation. Introduction During systemic illness especially after cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass CBP abnormalities in the circulating thyroid hormone levels are found in the absence of primary thyroid disease this is collectively called the sick euthyroid syndrome SES . Some argue that it is unclear if the clinical picture of SES is an adaptive process a marker of the severity of illness or even if .
