NCT06986577

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to describe the results of cardiac radiofrequency ablation under general anesthesia. to evaluate mechanical ventilation methods in pediatric patients. The main questions it aims to answer are

  1. 1.Whether lower tidal volume high frequency mechanical ventilation effects the success of radiofrequency ablation in pediatric cardiac arryhtmia patient?
  2. 2.The effect of mechanical ventilation strategies on the number of effective lesions, radiofrequency ablation time and arrhythmia recurrence in the first month
