Predictors of prolonged mechanical ventilation in pediatric patients after cardiac surgery for congenital heart disease

Abstract: Background: The duration of mechanical ventilation (MV) is one of the most important clinical factors which predict outcomes in pediatric cardiac surgery. The prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) following cardiac surgery is a multifactorial phenomenon and there are conflicts regarding its predictors in pediatric population between different centers. Objectives: The current study aimed to describe PMV predictors in patients undergoing cardiac surgery for congenital heart disease in a tertiary center for pedi… Show more

“…The primary endpoints were a greater need for respiratory support, defined as the need for more than 72 hours of MV after cardiac surgery [23,24], and an increased need for inotropic support, assumed as a VIS score �20 points [21] during the first 24 hours after cardiac surgery. The secondary endpoints were the presence of complications after cardiac surgery (including poor outcome), prolonged LOS, and mortality.…”
