Age-related cerebrovascular carbon dioxide reactivity in children with ventricular septal defect younger than 3 years.
Impaired cerebrovascular reactivity to carbon dioxide was proposed to contribute to neurological morbidity in children undergoing cardiac surgery. The objective of this study was to assess carbon dioxide reactivity and regional cerebral oxygen saturation in children younger than 3 years. ⋯ Abnormal carbon dioxide reactivity is prevalent in children younger than 3 years and the degree varies according to age.
