ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence (AI) systems have captivated the attention of healthcare providers and researchers for their potential to improve care processes and outcomes. While these technologies hold promise to automate processes, increase efficiency, and reduce cognitive burden, their use also carries risks. In this commentary, we review basic concepts of AI, outline some of the capabilities and limitations of currently available tools, discuss current and future applications in pediatric hematology/oncology, and provide an evaluation and implementation framework that can be used by pediatric hematologist/oncologists considering the use of AI in clinical practice.

Introduction: Fluid administration is an important aspect of the management of children undergoing liver transplantation and may impact postoperative outcomes. Our aim was to evaluate the association between volume of intraoperative fluid administration and our primary outcome, the duration of postoperative mechanical ventilation following pediatric liver transplantation. Secondary outcomes included intensive care unit length of stay and hospital length of stay.

Prosthesis choice for aortic valve replacement (AVR) in children is frequently compromised by unavailability of prostheses in very small sizes, the lack of prosthetic valve growth, and risks associated with long-term anticoagulation. The Ross procedure with pulmonary valve autograft offers several advantages for pediatric and adult patients. We describe our current Ross AVR technique including replacement of the ascending aorta with a prosthetic graft.

The development of the superior cavopulmonary connection is a rich illustration of international influences in congenital cardiac surgery. The bidirectional Glenn and hemi-Fontan procedures have improved survival as both definitive and staged functional single ventricle palliation. The optimal timing of the second-stage superior cavopulmonary procedures varies by center but for low- and intermediate-risk patients, this may be within three to six months after the Norwood procedure.
