Description
Summary:The purpose of the study was to analyze the characteristics and evolution of non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) in the postoperative period of heart surgery in children. Retrospective observational study including all children requiring NIV after heart surgery in a single center pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) between 2001 and 2012. Demographic characteristics, ventilation parameters and outcomes were registered, comparing the first 6 years of the study with the last 6 years. 935 children required invasive or non-invasive mechanical ventilation, of which 200 (21.4) received NIV. The median duration of NIV was 3 days. Mortality rate was 3.9%. The use of NIV increased from 13.2% in the first period to 29.2% in the second period (p
