Abstract:
Objective To explore post-operative treatment and intensive care of infants with congenital heart disease(CHD).Methods Clinical data of post-operative treatment and intensive care in 264 infants with CHD were analyzed retrospectively from May.1998 to Apr.2006.Among them,256 cases underwent radical operation,and 8 cases with palliative operation.Results Sixteen cases died early.Among them,after operation,there were 8 cases with Fallot′s syndrome,2 cases with complete atrioventricular canal anomalous,3 cases with ventricular septal defect(VSD)and pulmonary hypoplasia(PH),1 case with tricuspid atresia,1 case with single ventricle,and 1 case with persistent truncus arteriosus.Causes of death include low cardiac output,acute renal failure,degree of Ⅲ atrioventricular block(AVB),lung infection,respiratory failure and arrhythmia.One case with complete pulmonary vein ectopia was discharged due to post-opertative refractory hypercapnia;1 case with atrial septal defect(ASD)and patent ductus arteriosus(PDA) died of refractory heart failure due to high pulmonary arterial pressure 1 year after operation;1 case with tetralogy of Fallot died of lung hemorrhage after radical correct operation followed by palliative outflow tract deo-ppilant operation.Of them 245 cases alive,there were 233 cases with heart function grade Ⅰ,12 cases with grade Ⅱ.Conclusion Correct management of respiratory system,systemic electrocardial care,handling with arrhthymia on time,low cardiac output and nutritional support are the important measures in improving survival rate of infants with CHD.
