Objectives: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a devastating complication of pediatric congenital heart disease (CHD). A recent study has identified the protein high mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) as a diagnostic tool in adults with CHD-associated PAH. HMGB1 levels in adults with CHD-associated PAH correlated with mean pulmonary artery pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance, and HGMB1 levels fell in response to sildenafil therapy.

Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.
Methods: We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science, and clinicaltrials.
Background: No evidence currently exists to quantify the risk and incidence of perioperative respiratory adverse events (PRAEs) in children with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) undergoing all procedures requiring general anesthesia. Our objective was to determine the incidence of PRAEs and the risk factors in children with polysomnography-confirmed SDB undergoing procedures requiring general anesthesia.
Methods: Retrospective review of all patients with polysomnography-confirmed SDB undergoing general anesthesia from January 2009 to December 2013.
Objectives: To review and compare the anesthetic management of atrial septal defect (ASD) closures via mini lateral thoracotomy and sternotomy approaches.
Design: Retrospective analysis.
Setting: Single- center pediatric quaternary care hospital.
