This trial is testing a new computer system called a Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) that helps doctors decide when children are ready to come off breathing machines after heart surgery. The system continuously watches a child's vital signs, oxygen levels, and other important health information, and suggests the best time to try removing the breathing tube. The goal is to reduce how long children need to stay on the ventilator, which can lower the risk of serious complications.
Children with congenital heart disease often need to stay on breathing machines for a long time after surgery, and there's no standard way doctors decide when they're ready to be taken off the machine. This can lead to serious complications. This trial is testing whether a computer system that continuously monitors patients and predicts readiness can help doctors make safer, faster decisions about when to remove the breathing tube.

If you join this trial, your medical team will use the new computer system to help monitor you and decide when you might be ready to come off the breathing machine. The system will continuously track information from your monitors, ventilator, and lab tests, and display it on a bedside screen that updates every 5 seconds. Your doctors will use the system's recommendations to guide conversations about when to try removing your breathing tube—you won't need to do anything extra, but your care team will have this new tool to help them make decisions.
