Summary

Directly following cardiac surgery for congenital heart disease; patients are not receiving routine turning every two hours to prevent pressure ulcers, because a negative influence on hemodynamic parameters is assumed. Investigators have suggested that lateral position may have clinically significant effects on oxygenation in cardiac surgery patients.

Detailed description

Sixty pediatric congenital heart disease patients were randomly assigned to two equal intervention groups
