Abstract EN
Tetralogy of Fallot (TF) with prevalence ratio of 3.5 to 11 % is one of the most common cyanotic heart diseases, especially after the infancy.
It causes hypoxic cyanosis, blue spell and systemic thromboemblic events, and infections like brain abscess and endocarditis.
These patients are usually treated mcdically and surgically, the ultimate goal of the surgical intervention is complete repairment.
They are usually intubated 24 to 48 hours or more after the operation.
Intubation, especially if prolonged, causes various complications, which could be reduced by shortening the length of the intubation period.
Fifty TF operated patients were extubatcd four hours after entering ICU All of them were transferred to the ward without any need for reintubation or any other complication the next day.
