The indications for ventilatory assistance in postoperative paediatric cardiovascular patients have been reviewed. The use of naso-tracheal intubation, the preferred respirator characteristics, and the importance of humidification have been discussed.

In the postoperative cardiovascular patient with borderline cardiopulmonary reserve, a period of controlled ventilation is important in the prevention of postoperative morbidity and mortality. Naso-tracheal intubation is an excellent technique in the management of short-term ventilatory control. Six case reports are used to illustrate some of the indications for assisted ventilation and problems in management.
