Abstract
- Fluid overload (FO) is known to occur frequently after pediatric cardiac surgery and is associated with morbidity and mortality. Fontan patients are at risk to develop FO due to their critical fluid balance. Furthermore, they need an adequate preload in order to maintain adequate cardiac output. This study aimed to identify FO in patients undergoing Fontan completion and the impact of FO on pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) length of stay (LOS) and cardiac events, defined as death, cardiac re-surgery or PICU re-hospitalization during follow-up.<br />info:eu-repo/semantics/published
