Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a complex common defect in pediatric patients, and
definitive treatment is usually cardiac surgery, especially for diseases with complex …

Factors for Extubation Failure After Pediatric Cardiac Surgery and Impact on Outcomes: A …

Objectives: Establishing protocols to wean mechanical ventilation and assess readiness for
extubation, with the goal of minimizing morbidity associated with extubation failure and …

Early extubation after pediatric cardiac surgery has come full circle from being practiced in
the early days of pediatric cardiac surgery, falling out of favor with opioid-heavy cardiostable …

Introduction/objective Extubation failure increases morbidity and mortality in pediatric
cardiac patients, a unique population including those with congenital heart disease or …

Objectives: Compare the impact of initial extubation to positive airway pressure versus high-
flow nasal cannula on postoperative outcomes in neonates and infants after congenital heart …

The objective of this study is to evaluate the utility of high-frequency physiologic data during
the extubation process and other clinical variables for describing the physiologic profile of …

OBJECTIVES: Extubation failure is associated with morbidity and mortality in children
following cardiac surgery. Current extubation readiness tests (ERT) do not consider the …

Objectives: We sought to validate the Vasoactive-Ventilation-Renal score, a novel disease
severity index, as a predictor of outcome in a multicenter cohort of neonates who underwent …

Background There are estimated 20% of mechanically ventilated patients having difficulty in
weaning from the ventilators, and the weaning process accounts for 40% of the whole …
