Pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery often require prolonged stays in the intensive care unit, straining healthcare resources. Researchers at Peking Union Medical College in Beijing, China, have identified 14 risk factors for prolonged ICU stays after pediatric cardiac surgery. These findings can help target interventions to reduce ICU duration and
