[Frequency, type and predictors of pleuropulmonary complications during the first thirty days after cardiopulmonary bypass surgery in children].

CONCLUSIONS: The main pleuropulmonary complication was atelectasis, which is consistent with that reported in the international literature. Patients with any of the predictors identified in the present study should be closely monitored in order to prevent, detect and/or treat pleuropulmonary complications in a timely manner after cardiac surgery.
