  10. DISCLAIMER • Earlier this year I asked a question in the APDIS forum as to anyone having and utilizing a definition for pediatric heart failure.  In that there were no responses for a comprehensive definition, I went to the cardiologists, cardiovascular intensivist’s and cardiothoracic surgeons in our hospital to ask for their help in developing a definition for pediatric heart failure that we could utilize as our institutional criteria.  Wolfson Children’s Hospital is a 250 bed regional children’s hospital that performs approximately 225 cardiothoracic procedures annually.  In utilizing this definition for pediatric heart failure, we are not proposing this as the one and only definition for pediatric heat failure that other institutions  should adopt, but it is a definition based in science and is accepted by our hospital’s Medical Board and utilized by our medical staff.
