This editorial emphasizes the critical role of statistical analysis in pediatric cardiac surgery, highlighting how surgeons can use statistical tools to improve patient outcomes.
This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the association between prophylactic peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter insertion during pediatric cardiac surgery and improved short-term outcomes. Analyzing
This study highlights the incidence and impact of postoperative intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) in children undergoing open-heart surgery, showing that 24.7% of patients experienced IAH,
In a study on children undergoing cardiac surgery, remote ischemic preconditioning showed a potential for reducing kidney injury, but there were no significant differences

This study compared two plasmapheresis techniques, membrane-based (MP) and centrifuge-based (CP), for their effectiveness in reducing isohemagglutinin titers (IT) and human leukocyte antigen (HLA)
Pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) occurs in 1-6% of pediatric ICU admissions, with survival rates improving from 9% to 35% over the past 25
Cerebral microhemorrhages (CMH) are frequently seen after neonatal bypass heart surgery, but it remains unknown if CMH are a benign finding or constitute injury.
We aimed to determine if using PBUF on blood primes including packed red blood cells and thawed plasma would make prime values more predictable
This study aimed to test whether custadiol is not inferior to blood-based cardioplegia in pediatric cardiac surgery.
We sought to determine the risk factors including inflammatory and vascular endothelial markers associated with AKI in children undergoing cardiac surgery.
