Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Paediatric cardiac surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass with or without deep hypothermia (<25 degrees Celcius). Decision to use deep hypothermic arrest is at the surgeons discretion and is based on the surgical procedure to be undertaken. Commonly deep hypothermic arrest is used for Norwood procedures and procedures involving the aortic arch. Observation (blood tests) will be at eight timepoints during the operative period

Statistical methods / analysis
Data derived from the study patients will be analysed and with appropriate co-variables will be entered into fit for purpose modelling software 32 whereby additional dosing regimens can be evaluated using the subject data to simulate alternative regimens. This would be the first time that the modelling of antibiotics of neonates, infants and older children undergoing cardiac surgery has been attempted in this way.
