    Abstract Purpose of review: The focus of postoperative care in the pediatric patient with congenital heart disease has become a reduction in length of stay and morbidity. This review will discuss strategies to achieve this goal and recent studies to support current practices.
    Recent findings: Most agree that prolongation of the length of stay following a cardiac surgery contributes to morbidity. Postoperative feeding difficulty, hyperglycemia, acute kidney injury, fluid overload, and prolonged intubation contribute significantly to length of stay.
    Summary: Postoperative care of the neonate and child following a cardiac surgery remains challenging with limited data to drive our practices. Patients remain at risk for significant morbidity, and future studies should focus on recognizing predictors of morbidity, prevention, and treatment.

    Abstract Objectives: Pediatric cardiac intensive care continues to evolve, with rapid advances in knowledge and improvement in clinical outcomes. In the past, the Board of Directors of the Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Society created and subsequently updated a list of sentinel references focused on the care of critically ill children with congenital and acquired heart disease. The objective of this article is to provide clinicians with a compilation and brief summary of updated and useful references that have been published since 2012.
    Data selection: Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Society members were solicited via a survey sent out between March 20, 2017, and April 28, 2017, to provide important references that have impacted clinical care. The survey was sent to approximately 523 members. Responses were received from 45 members, of which some included multiple references.
    Data extraction: Following review of the list of references, and removing editorials, references were compiled by the first and last author. The final list was submitted to members of the society's Research Briefs Committee, who ranked each publication.
    Data synthesis: Rankings were compiled and the references with the highest scores included. Research Briefs Committee members ranked the articles from 1 to 3, with one being highly relevant and should be included and 3 being less important and should be excluded. Averages were computed, and the top articles included in this article. The first (K.C.U.) and last author (K.M.G.) reviewed and developed summaries of each article.
    Conclusions: This article contains a compilation of useful references for the critical care of children with congenital and acquired heart disease published in the last 5 years. In conjunction with the prior version of this update in 2012, this article may be used as an educational reference in pediatric cardiac intensive care.

    Abstract Objectives: Current central venous catheter utilization in patients within pediatric cardiac ICUs is not well elucidated. We aim to describe current use of central venous catheters in a multi-institutional cohort and to explore the prevalence and risk factors for central line-associated thrombosis and central line-associated bloodstream infections.
    Design: Observational analysis.
    Setting: Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Consortium hospitals.
    Patients: Hospitalizations with at least one cardiac ICU admission from October 2013 to July 2016.
    Interventions: None.
    Measurements and main results: There were 17,846 hospitalizations and 69% included greater than or equal to one central venous catheter. Central venous catheter use was higher in younger patients (86% neonates). Surgical hospitalizations included at least one central venous catheter 88% of the time compared with 35% of medical hospitalizations. The most common location for central venous catheters was internal jugular (46%). Central venous catheters were in situ a median of 4 days (interquartile range, 2-10). There were 248 hospitalizations (2% overall, 1.8% medical, and 2.1% surgical) with at least one central line-associated thrombosis (271 total thromboses). Thrombosis was diagnosed at a median of 7 days (interquartile range, 4-14) after catheter insertion. There were 127 hospitalizations (1% overall, 1.4% medical, and 1% surgical) with at least one central line-associated bloodstream infection (136 total infections) with no association with catheter type or location. Central line-associated bloodstream infection was diagnosed at a median of 19 days (interquartile range, 8-36) after catheter insertion. Significant risk factors for central line-associated thrombosis and central line-associated bloodstream infection were younger age, greater surgical complexity, and total catheter days.
    Conclusions: Utilization of central venous catheters in pediatric cardiac ICUs differs according to indication for hospitalization. Although thrombosis and central line-associated bloodstream infection are infrequent complications of central venous catheter use in cardiac ICU patients, these events can have important short- and long-term consequences for patients. Total central venous catheter line days were the only modifiable risk factor identified. Future study must focus on understanding central venous catheter practices in high-risk patient subgroups that reduce the prevalence of thrombosis and central line-associated bloodstream infection.

    Abstract Pompe disease is a rare genetic disorder resulting from a deficiency of the acid α-glucosidase enzyme. Although arrhythmias occur in these patients undergoing general anesthesia, they have not received sufficient emphasis in pediatric cardiology. We report a case of an infant with Pompe disease who experienced ventricular fibrillation during induction of anesthesia.

    Abstract Pathological details are lacking of various techniques used for interatrial defect (IAD) creation in lesions requiring mixing or with left atrial hypertension. Therefore, the morphology of the IAD created by different interventional techniques is described. The atrial septa of ten euthanized piglets (seven at <3 days and three at 2 weeks of age) were surgically exposed. In pigs of both ages, a needle-created communication was dilated with angioplasty, cutting, and cryoplasty balloons. A stent was also implanted in a newborn pig. By way of a patent foramen ovale (PFO) in newborns, angioplasty and septostomy balloons and a stent created IADs. The morphology of the IAD was directly imaged and the size measured. Newborn piglets had noticeably thinner atrial septa, and a PFO was still present. Static balloon dilation created a circular IAD equivalent to the balloon diameter (3 and 6 mm) in both the created defects of pigs of both ages and the neonatal PFO. A 3-mm cutting balloon (CB) produced a 2-mm triangular IAD (corresponding to atherotomes) in pigs of both ages. Premounted stents, by way of a created defect or PFO, led to circular IADs equivalent to balloon diameter. The 3-mm cryoplasty balloon created a large 5 × 4-mm IAD in the newborn pig; however, the IAD measured only 2 × 1-mm at 2 weeks. By way of a neonatal PFO, a septostomy balloon (inflated to 2 cc) created a 3-mm circular IAD. In neonatal piglet hearts, static balloon angioplasty, CBs, and stents created a predictable IAD. Cryoplasty balloons created highly variable defects.

    Abstract Objective: Ventricular preexcitation is a conduction abnormality caused by an accessory pathway bridging the atria and ventricles. If the accessory pathway conducts rapidly during atrial fibrillation (AFib), sudden death may result. The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of transesophageal electrophysiology studies (TEEPS) to induce AFib in pediatric patients with asymptomatic ventricular preexcitation (aVPE).
    Design: A retrospective review of patients with aVPE who had a TEEPS was conducted. Inclusion criteria were evidence of ventricular preexcitation on electrocardiogram; age <18 years; and no history of tachycardia, palpitations, or syncope. Data gathered included age, weight, height, form of sedation, and TEEPS results. If AFib was induced, patients were classified as at risk of sudden death if the shortest preexcited RR interval during AFib was <250 ms or no risk if ≥ 250 ms.
    Results: A total of 26 patients met the inclusion criteria, with average age of 11.9 years, weight of 48.9 kg, and height of 149.2 cm. During the procedure, nine patients underwent conscious sedation (34.6%), and 17 underwent general anesthesia (65.4%). AFib was induced in 23 patients (88.5%), of whom 17 (73.9%) had no risk and six (26.1%) had risk. No statistical differences were noted in age, weight, height, or form of sedation when comparisons were made between AFib induction and no AFib induction.
    Conclusions: TEEPS induced AFib in 88.5% of patients. Age, weight, height, and form of sedation had no effect upon AFib inducibility. TEEPS is an effective modality to induce AFib in pediatric patients with aVPE.

    Abstract It is important to recognize the possibility of a syndromic etiology of cardiac defects when dysmorphic features and other congenital defects are present. We report a patient who presented with atrial fibrillation and was found to have an abnormal mitral valve, congenital aneurysm of the left atrial appendage, and features consistent with both Cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome and Noonan syndrome. The congenital aneurysm of the left atrial appendage was a previously unreported cardiac presentation for either syndrome. Diagnostic considerations based upon his genotype and phenotype are discussed, along with his unique cardiac presentation and treatment.
