Summary

This trial tests a more natural form of mechanical breathing support in children who have had heart surgery. It aims to see if this method improves blood flow and oxygen levels by reducing chest pressure, which helps the heart work better. This new form of ventilation uses the body's natural signals to deliver synchronized breaths, showing benefits over older methods.

  • Tetralogy of Fallot
  • Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome
  • Single Ventricle Heart
