Regional Anesthesia in Cardiac Pediatric Patients Less Than 5 Years Old

This retrospective review presents a comparison of pediatric patients less than 5 years old undergoing cardiac surgery with general anesthesia with spinal, caudal epidural, or caudal epidural with catheter anesthesia from July 2007 to July 2013 observing differences in time to extubation, reintubation, and hypercarbia.

About this study

Intra-operative anesthesia medical records of pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery will be acquired from July 2007 to July 2013. Allocation of regional anesthesia, and the use of spinal versus epidural versus epidural with catheter administration will be determined by provider preference. Date of surgery, age in months, gender, type of surgery, type of anesthesia, regional drugs, PaCO2 upon arrival in the PICU, time to extubation, and reintubation if applicable will be recorded. Time to extubation will be categorized into within the OR, less than 24 hours, or greater than or equal to 24 hours. PaCO2 levels will be categorized into hypercarbia (PaCO2 ≥ 50mmHg) and normal (PaCO2 < 50mmHg).
