description Abstract Background Prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) stays consume medical resources and increase medical costs. This study identified risk factors associated with prolonged postoperative intensive care unit (ICU) stay in children with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC). Methods The medical records of 85 patients who underwent surgical repair of TAPVC were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into prolonged-stay and standard-stay groups. The prolonged stay group included all patients who exceeded the 75th percentile of the ICU stay duration, and the standard stay group included all remaining patients. The effects of patient variables on ICU stay duration were investigated using univariate and logistic regression analyses. Results Patient median age was 41 (18–103) days, and median weight was 3.80 (3.30–5.35) kg.Postoperative duration of ICU stay was 11–68 days in the prolonged stay group (n = 23) and 2–10 days in the standard stay group (n = 62). Lower preoperative pulse oximetry saturation (SpO2), higher intraoperative plasma lactate levels, and prolonged postoperative mechanical ventilation were independent risk factors for prolonged ICU stay. Preoperative SpO2 < 88.5%, highest plasma lactate value > 4.15 mmol/L, and postoperative mechanical ventilation duration was longer than 53.5 h, were associated with increased risk of prolonged ICU stay. Young age, low body weight, subcardiac type, need for vasoactive drug support, emergency surgery, long anesthesia time, low SpO2 after anesthesia induction, long cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and aortic clamp times, high lactate level, low temperature, large volume of ultrafiltration during CPB, large amounts of chest drainage, large red blood cells (RBCs) and plasma transfusion, and postoperative cardiac dysfunction may be associated with prolonged ICU stay. Conclusions Lower preoperative SpO2, higher intraoperative plasma lactate levels, and prolonged postoperative mechanical ventilation were independent risk factors for prolonged ICU stay in children with TAPVC. When SpO2 was lower than 88.5%, the highest plasma lactate value was more than 4.15 mmol/L, and the postoperative mechanical ventilator duration was longer than 53.5 h, the risk of prolonged ICU stay increased. Improved clinical management, including early diagnosis and timely surgical intervention to reduce hypoxia time and protect intraoperative cardiac function, may reduce ICU stay time.
