About this study

study aims to 1) assess our institution's current perioperative management strategies for pediatric cardiac surgery patients, 2) identify which patient population would be appropriate for inclusion in a pediatric ERACS (P-ERACS) program, and 3) compare the outcomes of patients whose perioperative care followed general consensus P-ERACS strategies (P-ERACS patients) and those whose perioperative care did not (non-P-ERACS patients). Results from this study will inform current efforts to establish a local P-ERACS protocol, and facilitate the initiation of a clinical trial to assess adherence to a P-ERACS pathway as well as the impact of such a pathway on patient outcomes.
