DOI: 10.1017/s1047951122002542
Abstract: BACKGROUND Education of paediatric advanced practice providers takes a generalist approach which lacks in-depth exposure to subspecialties like paediatric cardiac intensive care. This translates into a knowledge gap related to congenital cardiac physiology and management… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ehjacc/zuad036.108
Abstract: Type of funding sources: None. Current evidence suggests that incremental levels of PEEP generate an increase in right intracavitary pressures, diminishing venous return and consequently lessening left ventricular preload and stroke volume, resulting in a… read more here.
