Popis: Background: Patients with Down syndrome (DS) are known to have an increased risk of congenital heart diseases, which can be a predictor of prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) after cardiac surgery. PMV is a factor that enhances postoperative complications and morbidities. Thus, we aimed to explore the risk factors of the PMV, and relevant complications associated with it. Subjects and Methods: This retrospective study included 94 patients with DS who underwent 97 cardiac repair surgeries between 2010 and 2022. Patients were dichotomized into two groups. The first group was with the patients on mechanical ventilation (MV) for
