Official Title: Right Lateral Positioning of Postoperative Pediatric Cardiac Surgery: Effect on Arterial Oxygenation, Respiratory Mechanics, Hemodynamics, and Adverse Events
Brief Summary: Directly following cardiac surgery for congenital heart disease; patients are not receiving routine turning every two hours to prevent pressure ulcers, because a negative influence on hemodynamic parameters is assumed. Investigators have suggested that lateral position may have clinically significant effects on oxygenation in cardiac surgery patients.
