Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for children under 12 years old who have had heart surgery and are on a ventilator for more than 48 hours. Participants will be monitored to see if a special support system helps reduce the time they need mechanical ventilation.
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
You may be able to join if
I am under 12 years old
I have had heart surgery
I am receiving mechanical ventilation for 48 hours or more
You may not be able to join if
I was born premature (before 37 weeks gestation)
I weigh less than 2 kg
I depend on a tracheostomy ventilator or noninvasive positive pressure

Think this trial could be right for you?
Answer three quick questions written from this study's own rules to see if you may qualify. No account needed to find out.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the impact of a clinical decision support system (CDSS) in children receiving mechanical ventilation (MV) after surgery for congenital heart disease (CHD). The main question it aims to answer is:
-What is the impact of a CDSS designed to facilitate weaning and discontinuation of MV on the duration of MV in post-operative congenital cardiac surgery patients?

The goal of this study is to evaluate the impact of a clinical decision support system (CDSS) in children receiving mechanical ventilation (MV) after surgery for congenital heart disease (CHD). The main question it aims to answer is:
-What is the impact of a CDSS designed to facilitate weaning and discontinuation of MV on the duration of MV in post-operative congenital cardiac surgery patients?
Participants will be identified as eligible to initiate weaning from mechanical ventilation. Providers will decide whether or not to initiate weaning based on recommendations provided by the CDSS. Researchers will compare patients exposed to the CDSS with a historical cohort to see if the CDSS facilitated a decrease in MV duration.
