Evaluation of Factors Affecting Extubation Times in Postoperative Congenital Cardiovascular Surgeries: A Randomized Prospective Study

This study focuses on children who undergo heart surgery for critical congenital heart disease. The goal is to understand how to reduce the need for mechanical ventilation (breathing machines) after surgery. This is important because less time on a ventilator can lead to fewer complications, better recovery, and more efficient use of healthcare resources. The researchers are looking at various factors such as patient characteristics, surgery details, and post-surgery care that might influence the time it takes for a child to be safely removed from the ventilator.
