We are excited to share with you an official survey and research project, sponsored by the World Society for Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery (WSPCHS) and the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, titled:
Please access this important survey using the following hyperlink:

The aim of this survey is to describe the utilization of DHCA and SACP during neonatal aortic arch surgery amongst congenital heart surgeons globally. Further, it aims to characterize the more nuanced practices of each technique, including temperature selection, flow rate, and monitoring strategies.
There exists tremendous variation in our field in the utilization of neuroprotective practices during neonatal aortic arch surgery; we are hopeful that your contributions to this survey will allow us to better understand the current state of practice and inspire continued research into optimizing neuroprotection in our patients.
We greatly appreciate your time and support.
Best,
