Postoperative fluid overload is common in children after cardiac surgery, especially for those with right ventricular outflow tract obstruction, which is associated with poor outcomes. This study was conducted to investigate whether early peritoneal dialysis (PD) was associated with improved outcomes in these children at high risk of fluid overload.
