Abstract

Aim To assess whether early prone positioning is associated with differences in gas-exchange indices at prespecified postoperative time points after complete tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair in children, without evidence of hemodynamic instability. We also explored associations between early respiratory indices and short-term outcomes. Methods This was a single-center retrospective cohort study of patients aged
