Comparing Cardiac Output Differences in Patients With Fontan Physiology Between High and Low Tidal Volume Strategies: A Randomized, Crossover Trial Open
Background Single ventricle congenital heart disease patients palliated to Fontan physiology lack a ventricle to generate pulmonary blood flow. Positive pressure mechanical ventilation reduces pulmonary blood and therefore cardiac output a…

Intraoperative Methadone Versus Non-Methadone Analgesia in Pediatric Cardiac Surgery: A Retrospective Cohort Study Open
Introduction: Methadone is an opioid-sparing opioid and it is increasingly used in children undergoing surgery due to its beneficial effects on postoperative pain scores, decreased opioid requirements, and fewer adverse effects compared to…

A Bayesian Re-analysis of the Steroids to Reduce Systemic Inflammation after Infant Heart Surgery (STRESS) Trial Open
Background Prophylactic steroids are often used to reduce the systemic inflammatory response to cardiopulmonary bypass in infants undergoing heart surgery. The STRESS trial found that the likelihood of a worse outcome did not differ betwee…

Methylprednisolone for Heart Surgery in Infants — A Randomized, Controlled Trial Open
Among infants undergoing surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, prophylactic use of methylprednisolone did not significantly reduce the likelihood of a worse outcome in an adjusted analysis and was associated with postoperative development o…
