Mechanical Ventilation and Outcomes of Children Who Undergo Ventricular Assist Device Placement: 2014-2020 Linked Analysis From the Advanced Cardiac Therapies Improving Outcomes Network and Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Consortium Registries
Perry T, Rosenthal DN, Lorts A, Zafar F, Zhang W, VanderPluym C, Dewitt AG, Reichle G, Banerjee M and Schumacher KR
Placement of a ventricular assist device (VAD) improves outcomes in children with advanced heart failure, but adverse events remain important consequences. Preoperative mechanical ventilation (MV) increases mortality, but it is unknown what impact prolonged postoperative MV has.
Clinical Outcomes After Tracheostomy in Children With Single Ventricle Physiology: Collaborative Research From the Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Society Multicenter Cohort, 2010-2021
Mastropietro CW, Sassalos P, Riley CM, Piggott K, Allen KY, Prentice E, Safa R, Buckley JR, Werho DK, Wakeham M, Smerling A, Yates AR, Iliopoulos I, Sandhu H, Chiwane S, Beshish A, Kwiatkowski DM, Flores S, Narashimhulu SS, Loomba R, Capone CA, Pike F, Costello JM and
Multicenter studies reporting outcomes following tracheostomy in children with congenital heart disease are limited, particularly in patients with single ventricle physiology. We aimed to describe clinical characteristics and outcomes in a multicenter cohort of patients with single ventricle physiology who underwent tracheostomy before Fontan operation.
Critical care therapies pre- and post-heart transplant and their impact: Analysis from the Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Consortium
Deshpande SR, Gajarski R, Das B, Zhang W, Peng D, Cabrera A and Schumacher K
Few studies highlighting the critical care management of patients after heart HTx (HTx) have been published to date. This analysis provides a contemporary representation of pre- and post-HTx critical care in various patient cohorts and outlines the impact of intensive care unit (ICU) therapies on outcomes.
