  1. Data are presented as median percentage [interquartile range] of the value before the start of extracorporeal circulation
  2. Before EC, before the start of extracorporeal circulation; before DIAL, before the start of dialysis; after DIAL, 60 min after the start of extracorporeal circulation; PELOD, pediatric logistic organ dysfunction; VIS, vasoactive inotropic score
  3. p values are determined using the Mann–Whitney U test
