Abstract

Pediatric cardiac surgery involves procedures performed on the some of the most physiologically complex and vulnerable patients. The post-bypass period is especially fraught with life-threatening episodes of malignant arrhythmias, low cardiac output states and excessive hemorrhage. We herein propose a strategy of continuing care in the operating room at the termination of the procedure. •Post-operative stays in the operating room may improve stability.•Continued resuscitation in the operating room is especially useful for neonates.•Operating room time is prolonged by: arrhythmias, bleeding and low cardiac output.
