Predicting prolonged mechanical ventilation in neonates after cardiac surgery: development of a nomogram for risk prediction based on preoperative and intraoperative factors.
BACKGROUND Despite improvements in neonatal cardiac surgery, prolonged mechanical ventilation remains a prevalent postoperative complication. This study was designed to build a prolonged mechanical ventilation prediction model based on preoperative and intraoperative factors in neonates (0-28 days) after cardiac surger...
