    ObjectiveTo determine risk factors for prolonged ventilation after cardiac surgery in young children and assess the impact of noninfectious pulmonary complications on ventilatory duration. DESIGN: Retrospective case series analysis. SETTING: A tertiary pediatric cardiac center. PATIENTS: Clinical records of 222 consecutive children aged ResultsThe demographic data, preoperative risk factors, surgical procedures performed, intraoperative variables, and postoperative complications of the remaining 207 children were reviewed. Univariate analysis was performed to compare patients who required prolonged ventilation (>72 hrs) to those who could be extubated at ConclusionsNoninfectious pulmonary complications that occurred commonly after cardiac surgery in young children prolong ventilatory duration only in the presence of other risk factors, with which it acts in a synergistic fashion.
