Abstract
The postsurgical care of children with congenital heart disease may be complicated by the need for cardiorespiratory support, including tracheostomy. The variation of the use of tracheostomy across multiple pediatric cardiac surgical centers has not been defined. We describe multicenter variation in the use of tracheostomy in children undergoing congenital heart surgery.
