Best practice peri-extubation bundle reduces neonatal and infant extubation failure after cardiac surgery Open
Introduction: Extubation failure after neonatal cardiac surgery is associated with increased intensive care unit length of stay, morbidity, and mortality. We performed a quality improvement project to create and implement a peri-extubation…

Data-driven computational models of ventricular-arterial hemodynamics in pediatric pulmonary arterial hypertension Open
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a complex disease involving increased resistance in the pulmonary arteries and subsequent right ventricular (RV) remodeling. Ventricular-arterial interactions are fundamental to PAH pathophysiology …

Preventing Cardiac Arrest in the Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Unit Through Multicenter Collaboration Open
Importance Preventing in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) likely represents an effective strategy to improve outcomes for critically ill patients, but feasibility of IHCA prevention remains unclear. Objective To determine whether a low-techn…

Infundibular sparing versus transinfundibular approach to the repair of tetralogy of Fallot Open
Seventy-nine patients were included in the analysis; 40 underwent RVIS and 39 underwent TI repair. None of the patients in the TI repair group had an initial palliation with a systemic to pulmonary arterial shunt compared to seven (18%) in…
