    Report on results in postoperative intensive care of 73 infants. 37 underwent corrective surgery on extracorporeal circulation (mortality 24,3%), 36 were operated on without ECC (mortality 16.7%). All infants had been intubated by the nasotracheal route, 39 were treated with CPPV (mean duration 32.5 h), 23 with IPPV (mean duration 28 h). Almost 50% were treated with +7 cm H2O CPAP (mean duration 32 h). Advantages and potential hazards of CPPV and CPAP are discussed.
