Management of the Infant during and after Cardiac Surgery

Infant mortality due to cardiac anomalies treated medically is high. Some of these patients respond well to corrective or palliative surgery following comprehensive diagnostic procedures. Management of these patients during and after surgery may be enhanced by monitoring the electrocardiogram, arterial and venous pressures, blood chemistry, and by blood volume studies. The use of an infant pump oxygenator has improved the handling of those infants who require cardiopulmonary by-pass.

Postoperative care is important. However, if surgical interference has not improved the cardiovascular haemodynamics, death will occur.
