Association of Hyperoxia During Cardiopulmonary Bypass and Postoperative Delirium in the Pediatric Cardiac ICU

This study examines the relationship between hyperoxia during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and postoperative delirium in pediatric patients in a cardiac ICU. Analyzing data from 148 patients, researchers found that 24% experienced delirium within 72 hours post-CPB. However, no significant association was found between hyperoxia and delirium. Exploratory analysis suggested that nutritional status, specifically weight z scores, might influence delirium risk, indicating a need for further research on risk factors.
