Postoperative arrhythmia incidence and risk factors characterized in pediatric cardiac surgery; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Postoperative arrhythmia is common (17.1%) after pediatric cardiac surgery, with prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass and hemodynamic instability identified as significant independent risk factors.
Alotaibi et al. (2022) studied this question.
