title: Advances in pediatric cardiac intensive care.
abstract: Pediatric cardiac critical care has made, and continues to make, significant strides in improving outcomes. It is a measure of these successes that much of the discussion in this article does not focus on the reduction of mortality, but rather on perioperative management strategies intended to improve neurologic outcomes. The care of children with critical cardiac disease will continue to rely on broad and collaborative efforts by specialists and primary care practitioners to build on this foundation of success.
