When baby Laken’s family was told there was no hope, they turned to Texas Children’s for a second opinion. Our Heart Transplant Program—#1 in the Nation—performed his life-saving transplant. He’s now thriving and preparing to head home to Nashville.

#TipsForNewAttendings

The importance of knowing all the details of your patient's care doesn't end when you're no longer a trainee. Trust, but verify, the details presented to you- then, you can be certain patients are receiving the best care.

Our recent publication in @PedCritCareMed explored the outcomes of children with advanced heart failure who received ventricular assist devices (VADs). While VADs improve survival rates, prolonged mechanical ventilation (MV) after VAD placement poses increased risks.

This is so spot on!
