Introduction: One of the biggest challenges is to reduce inflammation without compromising the patient's proper immune response. In this hypothesis, science should focus on medicine and nutrition. The importance of proper nutritional status and eating habits has been widely recognized in the Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore, the present study answers the question of what is the role of nutrition on Covid-19 in pediatric. Methodology: The present study is a systematic review that was conducted during the third quarter of 2022 at Tabriz university of medical sciences. Therefore, at first the keywords were determined and then the search was performed among all Persian and English language databases. Results: The covid-19 epidemic has had a wide impact on the health, economy and livelihood of people in the past and has caused sudden changes in the way of life of people through social distance and quarantine at home with irreparable mental consequences. Optimizing public health during this epidemic requires not only the knowledge of medical and biological sciences, but also all sciences related to lifestyle, social and behavioral studies, including food habits and lifestyle. Conclusion: Changing the eating style and choosing a healthy diet rich in nutrients can lead to strengthening the immune system and overcoming diseases, including corona disease.

Introduction: Our primary aim was to examine postoperative complications in cardiac surgery patients and their relationship to the use of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPB). A secondary aim was to evaluate the association of postoperative complications with outcome measures. Material and Methods: Single-institution observational study of consecutive cardiac surgery patients over 1 year. Five cardiac cases and 15 extracardiac cases were studied. CPB use, CPB parameters, demographics and Risk Adjusted Classification of Congenital Cardiac Surgery (RACHS-1) levels were evaluated as complication risk factors. Outcomes examined included duration of mechanical ventilation, length of stay in pediatric hospital, length of stay, and mortality. Results: Logistic regression analysis, after adjusting for age, sex, prior sternotomy, and RACHS-1 level, provided insufficient evidence for an association between CPB support and the incidence of cardiovascular or extracardiac problems. For patients receiving CPB, longer duration of CPB, higher RACHS-1 levels, and lower CPB temperature were associated with more cardiovascular events (P < .01). Longer CPB duration and higher RACHS-1 levels were associated with more cardiovascular complications (P = .006). Postoperative complications were associated with longer ventilator time, longer pediatric heart failure hospital stay, longer hospital stay, and death (P < .01). Conclusion: Postoperative complications occurred in 43% of pediatric cardiac procedures with and without CPB. Complications include longer use of ventilators, pediatric heart failure and hospital stay, and increased mortality.
