Abstract
BACKGROUNDS AND OBJECTIVES The "Fast track" protocol is an early extubation strategy to reduce ventilator-associated complications and induce early recovery after open-heart surgery. This study compared clinical outcomes between operating room extubation and ICU extubation after open-heart surgery in patients with CHD. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 215 patients who underwent open-heart surgery for CHDs under the scheduled "Fast track" protocol between September 2016 and April 2022. The clinical endpoints were post-operative complications, including bleeding, respiratory and neurological complications, and hospital/ICU stays. RESULTS The patients were divided into operating room extubation (group O, n = 124) and ICU extubation (group I, n=91) groups. The most frequently performed procedures were patch closures of the atrial septal (107/215, 49.8%) and ventricular septal (89/215, 41.4%) defects. There were no significant differences in major post-operative complications or ICU and hospital stay duration between the two groups; however, patients in group I showed longer mechanical ventilatory support (0.0 min vs. 59.0 min (interquartile range: 17.0-169.0), p < 0.001). Patients in Group O showed higher initial lactate levels (3.2 ± 1.7 mg/dL versus 2.5 ± 2.0 mg/dL, p = 0.007) and more frequently used additional sedatives and opioid analgesics (33.1% versus 19.8%, p = 0.031). CONCLUSIONS Extubation in the operating room was not beneficial for patients during post-operative ICU or hospital stay. Early extubation in the ICU resulted in more stable hemodynamics in the immediate post-operative period and required less use of sedatives and analgesics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The usefulness of ultra-fast track cardiac anaesthesia may give great benefits to patients; however, its usefulness has not been completely evaluated in infants and toddlers, who are generally considered the most difficult group for ultra-fast track cardiac anaesthesia. METHOD A total of 130 children were allocated randomly into to a ultra-fast track cardiac anaesthesia group (Group D) or a conventional anaesthesia group (Group C) (each n = 65). In Group D, dexmedetomidine was administrated at a dosage of 1 µg/kg/hour after induction. The patient- controlled intravenous analgesia was dexmedetomidine and sufentanil. In Group C, patients were infused with of the same volume of normal saline, and sufentanil alone for patient-controlled intravenous analgesia. The dosages of sufentanil, extubation time, haemodynamic parameters, postoperative hospitalisation conditions, pain and sedation scores, blood gas analysis, and inotropic scores were all recorded. RESULTS The dosage of sufentanil (1.49 ± 0.05 vs. 3.81 ± 0.04 µg, p < 0.001) and extubation time (2.63 ± 0.52 vs. 436.60 ± 22.19 minutes, p < 0.001) in Group D were all significantly lower than those in Group C. Moreover, cardiac intensive care unit stay time, total hospital stay, hospitalisation costs, postoperative lactate levels, and inotropic scores were also significantly lower in Group D. CONCLUSIONS Using of ultra-fast track cardiac anaesthesia in infants and toddlers is effective, it not only reduce the perioperative requirement for opioids and shorten the extubation time but also decreases the inotrope requirement and provide a better postoperative condition for young children.

Abstract
Background In pediatric cardiac surgery, perioperative management has evolved from slow weaning of mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit to "ultra-fast-track" anesthesia with early extubation (EE) in theater to promote a faster recovery. The strategy of EE has not been assessed in adults with congenital heart disease, a growing population of patients who often require surgery. Methods And Results Data were collected retrospectively on all patients >16 years of age who underwent adult congenital heart surgery in our tertiary center between December 2012 and January 2020. Coarsened exact matching was performed for relevant baseline variables. Overall, 711 procedures were performed: 133 (18.7%) patients underwent EE and 578 (81.3%) patients received conventional extubation. After matching, patients who received EE required less inotropic or vasopressor support in the early postoperative period (median Vasoactive-inotropic score 0.5 [0.0-2.0] versus 2.0 [0.0-3.5]; P<0.0001) and had a lower total net fluid balance than patients after conventional extubation (1168±723 versus 847±733 mL; P=0.0002). The overall reintubation rate was low at 0.3%. EE was associated with a significantly shorter postoperative length of stay in higher dependency care units before a "step-down" to ward-based care (48 [45-50] versus 50 [47-69] hours; P=0.004). Lower combined intensive care unit and high dependency unit costs were incurred by patients who received EE compared with patients who received conventional extubation (£3949 [3430-4222] versus £4166 [3893-5603]; P<0.0001). Conclusions In adult patients undergoing surgery for congenital heart disease, EE is associated with a reduced need for postoperative hemodynamic support, a shorter intensive care unit stay, and lower health-care-related costs.

Abstract
We sought to examine the clinical impact of intraoperative extubation (IE) in neonates undergoing the arterial switch operation (ASO) for D-transposition of the great arteries with intact ventricular septum (dTGA/IVS). This was a single center retrospective study of patients who underwent ASO for dTGA/IVS in the 12 months after an institutional change in practice favoring IE when clinically feasible. A control group was obtained by identifying the same number of consecutive patients with dTGA/IVS who underwent ASO immediately prior to this institutional change in practice, none of whom were extubated intraoperatively. Primary outcome measures included morbidity, mortality, length of hospital and intensive care unit stay and reintubation rates. There were no significant differences in the preoperative and operative characteristics between the 2 groups. Of the 10 patients who underwent ASO for dTGA/IVS in the 12 months post institutional change in practice, all (100%) were extubated intraoperatively and none (0%) required reintubation. The median length of intensive care unit stay was 2 days for both the intraoperative and non-IE groups (mean 2.2 and 3 days respectively). The median length of stay in hospital was 4 days in the IE group and 5.5 days in the non-IE group (mean 4.5 and 6 days respectively). No patients died and there was no significant difference in morbidity between the 2 groups. Our data suggests IE post ASO for dTGA/IVS is safe and displays a statistically insignificant trend toward earlier discharge from hospital.

Abstract
Objective To assess the effectiveness and safety of fast-track cardiac anesthesia using the short-acting opioid sufentanil in children undergoing intraoperative device closure of ventricular septal defect (VSD). Methods This retrospective clinical study included 65 children who underwent intraoperative device closure of VSD between January 2017 and June 2017. Patients were diagnosed with isolated perimembranous VSD by transthoracic echocardiography. Then, they were divided into two groups, group F (n=30), whose patients were given sufentanil-based fast-track cardiac anesthesia, and group C (n=35), whose patients were given conventional cardiac anesthesia. Perioperative clinical data were analyzed. Results No significant differences were found between the preoperative clinical parameters and intraoperative hemodynamic indices between the two groups. In group C, compared with group F, the postoperative duration of mechanical ventilation, the length of stay in the intensive care unit, the length of hospital stay, and the hospital costs were significantly increased. Conclusion In this retrospective study at a single center, sufentanil-based fast-track cardiac anesthesia was shown to be a safe and effective technique for minimally-invasive intraoperative device closure of VSD in children, which was performed with reduced in-hospital costs.

Abstract
Background: The past two decades have seen rapid development of new surgical techniques for repair as well as palliation of complex congenital heart diseases. For a better patient outcome, minimal postoperative ventilation remains one of the most important endpoints of an effectual perioperative management. Aims and Objectives: The aim of this randomized open-label trial was to compare postoperative extubation time and intensive care unit (ICU) stay when two different anesthetic regimens, comprising of induction with ketamine and low-dose fentanyl versus high-dose fentanyl, are used, in pediatric patients undergoing corrective/palliative surgery. Materials and Methods: Patients with congenital cardiac defects, under 14 years of age undergoing cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and epidural analgesia, were enrolled into two groups – Group K (ketamine with low-dose fentanyl) and Group F (high-dose fentanyl) – over a period of 10 months, starting from January 2018. The effect of both these drugs on postoperative extubation time and ICU stay was compared using Mann–Whitney U-test. Results: A total of 70 patients were assessed with equal distribution in both the groups. In Group K, 32 of 35 patients were extubated in the operation room, whereas extubation time in Group F was18.1 ± 11 h. Total ICU stay in Group K and Group F was 45.2 ± 30.1 and 60.1 ± 24.5 h, respectively (P = 0.02). Systolic blood pressure was significantly higher in Group K. Conclusion: Ketamine along with low-dose fentanyl, when used for anesthetic induction, in comparison to high-dose fentanyl, reduces postoperative extubation time and ICU stay, in pediatric patients undergoing corrective/palliative surgery under CPB and epidural analgesia for congenital cardiac defects.

Abstract
Objective To assess the usefulness of procalcitonin, pro-adrenomedullin and pro-atrial natriuretic peptide as predictors of need for mechanical ventilation and postoperative complications (need for inotropic support and bacterial infection) in critically ill pediatric patients after cardiopulmonary bypass. Design A prospective, observational study Setting Pediatric intensive care unit. Patients Patients under 18 years old admitted after cardiopulmonary bypass. Measuraments and main results Serum levels of procalcitonin, pro-adrenomedullin and pro-atrial natriuretic peptide were determined immediately after bypass and at 24–36 hours. Their values were correlated with the need for mechanical ventilation, inotropic support and bacterial infection. One hundred eleven patients were recruited. Septal defects (30.6%) and cardiac valve disease (17.1%) were the most frequent pathologies. 40.7% required mechanical ventilation, 94.6% inotropic support and 15.3% presented invasive bacterial infections. Pro-adrenomedullin and pro-atrial natriuretic peptide showed significant high values in patients needing mechanical ventilation. Cut-off values higher than 1.22 nmol/L and 215.3 pmol/L, respectively for each biomarker, may indicate need for mechanical ventilation with an AUC of 0.721 and 0.746 at admission and 0.738 and 0.753 at 24–36 hours, respectively but without statistical differences. Pro-adrenomedullin and procalcitonin showed statistically significant high values in patients with bacterial infections. Conclusions After bypass, pro-adrenomedullin and pro-atrial natriuretic peptide are suitable biomarkers to predict the need for mechanical ventilation. Physicians should be alert if the values of these markers are high so as not to progress to early extubation. Procalcitonin is useful for predicting bacterial infection. This is a preliminary study and more clinical studies should be done to confirm the value of pro-adrenomedullin and pro-atrial natriuretic peptide as biomarkers after cardiopulmonary bypass.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of remifentanil-based fast-track anesthesia for intraoperative device closure of atrial septal defects (ASDs). Material/Methods The clinical data of 152 pediatric patients who received intraoperative device closure of ASD in our hospital from January 2015 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into 2 groups: group F (remifentanil-based fast-track anesthesia group, n=72) and group C (fentanyl-based routine anesthesia group, n=80). The relevant data from 2 groups were collected and analyzed. Results No significant differences were found in the preoperative data or intraoperative hemodynamic index between these 2 groups. Group C was significantly inferior to group F regarding the duration of mechanical ventilation, length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, length of hospital stay, and hospitalization expenses (P<0.05). In terms of postoperative complications, no death, third-degree atrioventricular block, occluder detachment, or residual leakage was reported in either group. The incidence of lung infections and bronchospasm was significantly higher in group C than in group F. There were no anesthetic-related complications. Conclusions The application of remifentanil-based fast-track anesthesia for intraoperative device closure of ASD is as effective and safe as fentanyl-based routine anesthesia. Moreover, remifentanil-based fast-track anesthesia has the advantages of shorter duration of mechanical ventilation, shorter length of hospital and ICU stay, fewer postoperative complications, and lower hospitalization expenses, and is therefore worthy of promotion in clinical practice.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The existing cardiopulmonary bypass tubing system has already been significantly improved in our hospital by reducing the priming volume; thus, we further employed a new cardiopulmonary bypass strategy in children based on a miniaturized cardiopulmonary bypass circuit. We aimed to compare the effectiveness of new and conventional strategies by analyzing the outcomes after congenital heart surgery. METHODS We performed a database analysis of all patients undergoing congenital heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass at Shenzhen Children's Hospital from 1 May 2015 to 30 June 2017. Propensity score matching was used to adjust for significant covariates, and multivariable regression models and stratified analysis were used to assess the association of cardiopulmonary bypass strategy with outcomes. RESULTS Of 925 total patients, 55.35% were in the conventional strategy group and 44.65% were in the new strategy group. After propensity score matching, there were 610 patients in total, with 305 patients in each group. In the multivariable regression models, the cardiopulmonary bypass strategy was not significantly associated with successful early extubation (p > 0.05), reintubation (p > 0.05), or nasal continuous positive airway pressure (p > 0.05) rates. The new strategy group had fewer hospital stays (p = 0.04) and intensive care unit stays (p < 0.05) compared with patients who underwent conventional strategy. The difference remained statistically significant (p < 0.05) when The Society of Thoracic Surgeons-European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery category was <3. CONCLUSION The implementation of a new cardiopulmonary bypass strategy, with selective ultrafiltration based on a miniaturized cardiopulmonary bypass circuit system, was safe and effective for children who underwent congenital heart surgery in a Chinese hospital. The new cardiopulmonary bypass strategy was associated with fewer hospital and intensive care unit stays.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess surgical management and postoperative results associated with early extubation in patients undergoing tetralogy of Fallot corrective surgery at a public hospital in Argentina. METHODS A retrospective review was made from clinical records from patients who underwent corrective surgery for tetralogy of Fallot. A total of 38 clinical records that met the inclusion criteria for the retrospective review were included in the analysis. RESULTS 16% were extubated early. Milrinone was the only drug that showed differences in patients who were extubated early (p=0.01). Extracorporeal circulation time, aortic clamping time, transfusion with cryoprecipitates, saturation of oxygen pressure, and haematocrit at the end of the surgical procedure showed no differences (p>.05). In the postoperative period, the ICU stay was shorter for the patients who were extubated early (p=0.0007), but there were no differences in the total hospital stay (p=0.26). CONCLUSIONS Early extubation in the institution, although found to be low frequency, has proved as a safe and effective alternative to shorten these patients' stay in ICU.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of short-acting anesthetics, muscle relaxation, and anesthesia depth monitoring allows maintaining sufficient anesthesia depth, fast recovery, and extubation of the patients in the operating room (OR). We evaluated the feasibility of extubation in the OR in cardiac surgery. METHODS This clinical trial was performed on 100 adult patients who underwent elective noncomplex cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass. Additional to the routine monitoring, the patients' depth of anesthesia and neuromuscular blocked were assessed by bispectral index and nerve stimulator, respectively. In the on-table extubation (OTE) group (n = 50), a limited dose of sufentanil (0.15 µg/kg/h) and inhalational anesthetics were used for early waking. In the control group (n = 50), the same anesthesia-inducing drugs were used but the dose of sufentanil during the operation was 0.7 - 0.8 µg/kg/h. After the operation, cardiorespiratory parameters and ICU stay were documented. RESULTS Demographic and clinical variables were comparable in both study groups. In the OTE group, we failed to extubate two patients in the OR (success rate of 96%). There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of systolic and diastolic blood pressure at the time of entering the ICU (P > 0.05). Heart rate was lower in the OTE than in the control group at ICU admission (89.4 ± 13.1 vs. 97.6 ± 12.0 bpm; P = 0.008). The ICU stay time was lower in the OTE group (34 (21.5 - 44) vs. 48 (44 - 60) h; P = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Combined inhalational-intravenous anesthesia along with using multiple anesthesia monitoring systems allows reducing the dose of total anesthetics and maintaining adequate anesthesia depth during noncomplex cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Thus, extubation of the trachea in the OR is feasible in these patients.

Abstract
Objectives: The objectives were to assess the incidence of immediate tracheal extubation in the operating room after pediatric cardiac surgery and to investigate predictors for subsequent reintubation. Methods: This is a single institutional retrospective study including all patients who had a cardiac operation with cardiopulmonary bypass from 2011 to 2016. Patients who required preoperative ventilator support, postoperative open chest, or mechanical support were excluded. Predictors for reintubation after immediate extubation were analyzed only for patients with stage II palliation for single ventricle physiology. Results: Nine hundred nine qualifying operations were identified. Immediate extubation was performed in 590 (64.9%) operations. A multivariable logistic regression model showed that the identities of anesthesiologist ( P = .0003), year of the operation performed ( P < .001), cardiopulmonary bypass time ( P < .001), and type of operations ( P < .001) were significantly associated with immediate extubation. Reintubation was significantly less frequent in patients with immediate extubation compared to those without (6.1% vs 15.0%; P < .001). A subgroup analysis for stage II palliation showed that reintubation after immediate extubation was significant for younger age (0.42 vs 0.54 years, P = .044), lower Po2/Fio2 and Po2 at the last blood gas analysis (66 vs 98 mm Hg, P = .032 and 39 vs 47 mm Hg, P = .008), and higher inotropic score (2 vs 0, P = .034). A multivariable logistic regression model showed that only inotropic score was significantly associated with reintubation ( P = .018). Conclusions: Immediate extubation in the operating room after pediatric cardiac surgery can be performed in most patients. Inotropic score is a predictor for reintubation in stage II palliation.

Abstract
Objective The objective of our study was to determine the feasibility of early
extubation and to identify the risk factors for delayed extubation in
pediatric patients operated for ventricular septal defect closure. Methods A prospective, observational study was carried out at our Institute. This
study involved consecutive 135 patients undergoing ventricular septal defect
closure. Patients were extubated if feasible within six hours after surgery.
Based on duration of extubation, patients were divided two groups: Group 1=
extubation time ≤ 6 hours, Group 2= extubation time >6 hours. Results A total of 99 patients were in Group 1 and 36 patients in Group 2. Duration
of ventilation was 4.4±0.9 hours in Group 1 and 25.9±24.9
hours in Group 2 (P<0.001). Univariate analysis showed
that young age, low weight, low partial pressure of oxygen, trisomy 21,
multiple ventricular septal defect, high vasoactive inotropic score,
transient heart block and low cardiac output syndrome were associated with
delayed extubation. However, regression analysis revealed that only trisomy
21 (OR: 0.248; 95%CI: 0.176-0.701; P=0.001), low cardiac
output syndrome (OR: 0.291; 95%CI: 0.267-0.979; P=0.001),
multiple ventricular septal defect (OR: 0.243; 95%CI: 0.147-0.606;
P=0.002) and vasoactive inotropic score (OR: 0.174
95%CI: 0.002-0.062; P=0.039) are strongest predictors for
delayed extubation. Conclusion Trisomy 21, low cardiac output syndrome, multiple ventricular septal defect
and high vasoactive inotropic score are significant risk factors for delay
in extubation. Age, weight, pulmonary artery hypertension, size of
ventricular septal defect, aortic cross-clamp and cardiopulmonary bypass
time did not affect early extubation.

Abstract
This prospective, observational, single-center study aimed to determine the perioperative predictors of early extubation (<24 h after cardiac surgery) in a cohort of children undergoing cardiac surgery. Children aged between 1 month and 18 years who were consecutively admitted to pediatric intensive care unit after cardiac surgery for congenital heart disease between January 2012 and June 2014. Ninety-nine patients were qualified for inclusion during the study period. The median duration of mechanical ventilation was 20 h (range 1-480), and 64 patients were extubated within 24 h. Four of them failed the initial attempt at extubation, and the success rate of early extubation was 60.6 %. Older patient age (p = .009), greater body weight (p = .009), absence of preoperative pulmonary hypertension (p = .044), lower RACHS-1 category (OR, 3.8; 95 % CI 1.35-10.7; p < .05), shorter cardiopulmonary bypass (p = .008) and cross-clamp (p = .022) times, lower PRISM III-24 (p < .05) and PELOD (p < .05) scores, lower inotropic score (p < .05) and vasoactive-inotropic score (p < .05), and lower number of organ failures (OR, 2.26; 95 % CI 1.30-3.92; p < .05) were associated with early extubation. Our study establishes that early extubation can be accomplished within the first 24 h after surgery in low- to medium-risk pediatric cardiac surgery patients, especially in older ones undergoing low-complexity procedures. A large prospective multiple institution trial is necessary to identify the predictors and benefits of early extubation and to facilitate defined guidelines for early extubation.

Abstract
Based on described benefits of fast-tracking and early extubation in children undergoing congenital heart surgery, we applied this concept to selected children following uncomplicated orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT). In this case series, we report four patients who were extubated immediately after surgery in the operating room. A mild respiratory acidosis and hypercapnia were noted on the initial arterial blood gases, were well tolerated, and were normalized within 6 to 12 hours. There was no mortality among patients who were extubated in the operating room, and no patients required reintubation. We conclude that operating room extubation is feasible in selected patients undergoing OHT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Extubation failure after neonatal cardiac surgery has been associated with considerable postoperative morbidity, although data identifying risk factors for its occurrence are sparse. We aimed to determine risk factors for extubation failure in our neonatal cardiac surgical population. DESIGN Retrospective chart review. SETTING Urban tertiary care free-standing children's hospital. PATIENTS Neonates (0-30 d) who underwent cardiac surgery at our institution between January 2009 and December 2012 was performed. INTERVENTIONS Extubation failure was defined as reintubation within 72 hours after extubation from mechanical ventilation. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to determine independent risk factors for extubation failure. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS We included 120 neonates, of whom 21 (17.5%) experienced extubation failure. On univariate analysis, patients who failed extubation were more likely to have genetic abnormalities (24% vs 6%; p = 0.023), hypoplastic left heart (43% vs 17%; p = 0.009), delayed sternal closure (38% vs 12%; p = 0.004), postoperative infection prior to extubation (38% vs 11%; p = 0.002), and longer duration of mechanical ventilation (median, 142 vs 58 hr; p = 0.009]. On multivariate analysis, genetic abnormalities, hypoplastic left heart, and postoperative infection remained independently associated with extubation failure. Furthermore, patients with infection who failed extubation tended to receive fewer days of antibiotics prior to their first extubation attempt when compared with patients with infection who did not fail extubation (4.9 ± 2.6 vs 7.3 ± 3; p = 0.073). CONCLUSIONS Neonates with underlying genetic abnormalities, hypoplastic left heart, or postoperative infection were at increased risk for extubation failure. A more conservative approach in these patients, including longer pre-extubation duration of antibiotic therapy for postoperative infections, may be warranted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical epidemiology of extubation failure in a multicenter cohort of patients treated in pediatric cardiac ICUs. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study using prospectively collected clinical registry data. SETTING Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Consortium registry. PATIENTS All patients admitted to the CICU at Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Consortium hospitals. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Analysis of all mechanical ventilation episodes in the registry from October 1, 2013, to July 31, 2014. The primary outcome of extubation failure was reintubation less than 48 hours after planned extubation. Repeated-measures analysis using generalized estimating equations to account for within patient and center correlation was performed to identify risk factors for extubation failure. Adjusted extubation failure rates for each hospital were calculated using logistic regression controlling for patient factors. Of 1,734 mechanical ventilation episodes (1,478 patients at eight hospitals) ending in a planned extubation, there were 100 extubation failures (5.8%). In multivariable analysis, only longer duration of mechanical ventilation was significantly associated with extubation failure (p = 0.01); the failure rate was 4% when ventilated less than 24 hours, 9% after 24 hours, and 13% after 7 days. For 503 patients intubated and extubated in the cardiac operating room, 15 patients (3%) failed extubation within 48 hours (12 within 24 hr). Case-mix-adjusted extubation failure rates ranged from 1.1% to 9.8% across hospitals. Patients failing extubation had greater median cardiac ICU length of stay (15 vs 3 d; p < 0.001) and in-hospital mortality (7.9 vs 1.2%; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Though extubation failure is uncommon overall, there may be opportunities to improve extubation readiness assessment in patients ventilated more than 24 hours. These data suggest that extubation in the operating room after cardiac surgery can be done with a low failure rate. We observed variation in extubation failure rates across hospitals, and future investigation must elucidate the optimal strategies of high-performing centers to reduce ventilation time while limiting extubation failures.

Abstract
Congenital cardiac anesthesiology is a rapidly expanding field at both ends of the life spectrum. The care of the unborn child with congenital heart disease is becoming highly specialized in regional centers that offer advanced imaging techniques, coordinated specialist care, and potentially fetal interventions. As more children with congenital heart disease survive to adulthood, patients and their health care providers are facing new challenges. The growing volume of publications reflects this expanding field of congenital cardiac anesthesiology. This year in review article highlights some developing trends in the literature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immediate extubation in the operating room after congenital heart surgery is practiced with rising frequency at many cardiac institutions to decrease costs and complications. Infants less than one year of age are also increasingly selected for this 'fast track'. However, factors for patient selection, success, or failure of this practice have not been well defined in this population, yet are critical for patient safety. OBJECTIVE To identify selection criteria, patient and procedural characteristics for successful or failed very early endotracheal extubation in the operating room immediately following infant heart surgery. METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed for 326 consecutive patients undergoing neonatal and infant heart surgery from 2009 to 2012. Extubation and reintubation data were taken from the institutional Society of Thoracic Surgeons database and patients' charts. Patient characteristics were derived using multivariable logistic regression models. RESULTS Very early extubation in the operating room was performed for 130 of 326 neonates and infants (40%). Weight >4 kg, lesser procedural complexity, and absence of trisomy 21 were identified as significant predictors for attempted very early extubation. Of these patients, 12% required reintubation within 48 h following surgery, predominantly due to respiratory failure or for mediastinal re-exploration. Greater procedural complexity was associated with failed extubations. Reintubation was associated with prolonged hospitalization. CONCLUSIONS Extubation immediately after infant heart surgery in the operating room can be safely achieved. However, our data suggest that patients undergoing more complex procedures should be selected more conservatively for immediate early extubation.
