Mechanical ventilation strategy following Glenn and Fontan surgeries : On going challenge!

The Glenn and Fontan operations put the pulmonary and systemic circulations in series. It has been shown that positive pressure ventilation (PPV) decreases pulmonary blood flow (PBF) and cardiac output (CO), and negative pressure ventilation (NPV) significantly improves PBF and CO. If early extubati...
