Brief Summary

This study aims to describe chest wall mechanics during delayed sternal closure (DSC) in neonates following cardiopulmonary bypass or palliation of congenital heart diseases.

Detailed Description

This research study is being done so that investigators can understand the complex interactions between the heart, the lungs and the chest wall after heart surgery. Understanding this may guide future...
