Application-based remote interstage home monitoring for infants with shunt- or duct-dependent pulmonary perfusion by Lisa-Maria Rosenthal, Lisa-Maria Rosenthal, Lisa-Maria Rosenthal, Friederike Danne, Sophie de Belsunce, Lisa Spath, Chiara-Aiyleen Badur, Joachim Photiadis, Felix Berger, Felix Berger, Katharina Schmitt, Katharina Schmitt, Katharina Schmitt

“…This study aims to evaluate an application-based remote IHM program for infants with shunt- or duct-dependent pulmonary circulation. The primary goals were to discharge infants from the hospital while minimizing mortality, optimizing somatic growth, and enhancing caregivers' confidence in the clinical management at home.MethodsInfants with shunt-dependent single ventricle physiology or complex biventricular physiology requiring staged palliation with aortopulmonary shunt were enrolled for the study. …”
