To leverage a large clinical registry of pediatric cardiac critical care patients to better understand current practices related to the diagnosis and management of patients with diaphragm dysfunction (DD) following congenital heart surgery (CHS).
Impact of impaired foetal maternal environment on neonates with CHD: are we ready for the mother-baby dyad?
Savla J, Schumacher K, Mikesell K, Banerjee M, Ball M, Bhat P, Bhat A, Bhatt S, Chan T, Chaudhry P, Frank DU, Killen S, Krishnan A, Mistry K, Neumayr TM, Patel A, Savorgnan F, Son S, Zakaria D, Tabbutt S and Steurer M
Emerging evidence suggests that an impaired foetal environment-defined as maternal factors such as hypertensive disorders and diabetes-might contribute to outcomes in neonates with CHD. With this multicentre study, we prospectively collected data regarding impaired foetal environment to assess the impact on mortality in two ventricle and single ventricle neonates with CHD.
Cardiac ICU neuromonitoring in infants with CHD leads to early arterial ischaemic stroke recognition: a single centre experience
Koerner TS, Farley M, Tien A, Baust T, Commander B, Guzman C, Cummings D, Gazit A and Lin JI
Evaluate the utility of comprehensive neuromonitoring to allow for early identification of arterial ischaemic strokes in high-risk critically ill infants with CHD.

We sought to evaluate extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) use for low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) following congenital heart surgery. Our primary aims were: (1) To compare hospital mortality and morbidity for proactive ECMO versus extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). (2) To assess the impact of CPR duration. Our secondary aim was to investigate pre-ECMO vasoactive inotropic scores (VIS).
