Dysnatremia after surgery for congenital heart disease (CHD) is well known and has been associated with prolonged pediatric intensive care unit length of stay (PICU‐LOS). Fluctuations in plasma sodium levels occur perioperatively. The primary aim of the study was to evaluate the occurrence of dysnatremia during the first 48 h after surgery and whether it was associated with PICU‐LOS. The secondary aim was to evaluate if the degree of sodium fluctuations was associated with PICU‐LOS.
