Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the treatment results, complications, and the factors affecting mortality in cases who were followed up postoperatively in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) after the Glenn shunt procedure.
Materials and Methods: The duration of the patients on the pump during surgery, transition times to feeding, blood gas and other laboratory parameters, complications developed during follow-up in the intensive care unit, and exitus rates were evaluated retrospectively.
Results: BDG was performed due to tricuspid atresia, the most common diagnosis (30.2%). In the evaluation of the relationship between postoperative patient findings and exitus, a positive correlation was found between the duration of inotropic support, early extubation, and the duration of HFNC therapy in all patients (p
