Background: The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between sedation usage and extubation failure, and to control for the effects of hemodynamic, oximetric indices, clinical characteristics, ventilatory settings pre- and post-extubation, and echocardiographic (echo) findings in neonates with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) post-Norwood procedure.
Methods: Single-center, retrospective analysis of Norwood patients during their first extubation post-surgery from January 2015 to July 2021. Extubation failure was defined as reintubation within 48 h of extubation.

Objectives: Post-extubation stridor (PES) is difficult to predict before extubation. We therefore evaluated the potential diagnostic performance of pre-extubation laryngeal air column width difference (LACWD) measurement, as assessed by intensivist-performed point-of-care laryngeal ultrasound, in relation to clinically important PES.
Design: Prospective observational cohort study.

Introduction: In mechanically ventilated adults, thickening fraction of diaphragm (dTF) measured by ultrasound is used to predict extubation success. Whether dTF can also predict extubation success in children is unclear.
Aim: To investigate the association between dTF and extubation success in children.

Background: Postextubation stridor (PES) is an imminently life-threatening event. Maximizing patient safety requires a systematic approach to screen patients for PES risk factors and a standardized test to evaluate that risk. This retrospective study of adult subjects was based on quality assurance data including standardized surveillance screening criteria and a volume-based cuff leak test (CLT) to evaluate PES risk among predominantly surgical-trauma and neurotrauma subjects.

Background: We aimed to explore the postnatal evolution of ventilation/perfusion ratio (V/Q) and right-to-left shunt in infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and whether these indices predicted survival to discharge.
Methods: Retrospective cohort study at King's College Hospital, London, UK of infants admitted with CDH in 10 years (2011-2021). The non-invasive method of the oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve was used to determine the V/Q and shunt in the first 24 h of life, pre-operation, pre-extubation and in the deceased infants, before death.
