Abstract:Fast-track anesthesia with early extubation (EE) is playing an increasingly important role in pediatric cardiac surgery. We examined the pre- and intra-operative factors contributing to successful EE, and outcomes after right heart bypass surgery (RHB). We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 71 consecutive children (median age=14 months) admitted over a 4-year period to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) of our university-based hospital, after RHB. We compared the characteristics and outcomes… Show more
“…Kurihara et al retrospectively compared early extubated patients (<3 h) with late extubated ones (≥3 h) after BDG and TCPC; 54% patients were extubated early. [5] The early extubated patients had lower pre-operative mPAP, mean PVR and mean CVP whereas the late extubated patients (>3 h) had poor pre-and post-operative cardiac functions and higher PVR. Decreased cardiac functions, high PVR and the need for large doses of inotropes and vasodilators are the factors that can delay extubation.…”
“…[3][4][5] Although these studies showed that reducing the duration of artificial ventilation by early extubation could minimize potential detrimental effects of positive pressure ventilation, [3][4][5] it is important to know the effect of different ventilation modes used during the weaning period after BDG and TCPC on organ perfusion. Walsh et al noted that ventilation with airway pressure (AWP) release ventilation improves pulmonary blood flow compared…”

“…[2][3][4][5] Lofland reported early extubation in 50 consecutive patients undergoing either BDG or completion Fontan. [3] In their study, after resumption of spontaneous respiration and extubation, mPAP decreased and cardiac index increased.…”
“…Decreased cardiac functions, high PVR and the need for large doses of inotropes and vasodilators are the factors that can delay extubation. [5] In patients having hemorrhagic diathesis, marginally raised mPAP and PVR, right ventricular dominant single ventricle physiology, AV valve insufficiency and/or requiring long aortic cross-clamp time because of additional intracardiac repair, early extubation is usually not feasible. For this group of patients, longer respiratory support is required due to borderline hemodynamics.…”
“…[1] Recently, several reports have addressed the significance of early spontaneous ventilation and early extubation after BDG and total-cavopulmonary shunt (TCPC). [2][3][4][5] These with pressure control ventilation in children after tetralogy of Fallot repair and cavopulmonary shunt operations. [6] Walsh et al hypothesize that shorter the duration of the intrathoracic pressure application, better the pulmonary blood flow.…”
The SctO2 was higher during CPAP + PSV ventilation and after extubation compared to IPPV and SIMV modes of ventilation. The mean AWP was lower during CPAP + PSV ventilation compared to IPPV and SIMV modes of ventilation.

The prevalence of EF is relatively high in neonatal cardiac surgery. The etiologies can be diverse. Extubation of neonates at high risk after cardiac surgery, based on these possible risk factors, requires more diligent approaches.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
