To improve outcomes and survival during this time, referred to as the “interstage period”, multiple strategies have been successfully implemented resulting in improved interstage survival. A critical element of interstage care is family education and training. Variations in practice and interstage home surveillance do exist but general guidelines are described below.

Hybrid Stage I with BT shunt RV to PA shunt (“Sano”) Procedure Surgical: Norwood /Modified Blalock Taussig (BT) shunt procedure – the Norwood aortic reconstruction of the ascending aorta and arch consists of enlarging the ascending aorta by using part of the proximal native main pulmonary artery (PA) with other material (Gore-Tex or homograft material) to connect the PA to the aorta. Pulmonary blood flow is provided by a controlled shunt (BT shunt) usually made from Gore-Tex and connects the right subclavian artery to the right pulmonary artery.

The current study was undertaken to evaluate our recent experience with the Norwood procedure and to evaluate potential predictors of operative and 1-year mortality. Methods: A retrospective study of risk factors for operative and 1-year mortality in 158 patients undergoing the Norwood procedure between January 1, 1998 and June 30, 2001. Results: HLHS was present in 102 patients (70 with AA) and other forms of functional single ventricle with systemic outflow tract obstruction in the remaining 56.

These devices differ in the types of monitoring leads used, the duration and continuity of monitoring, the ability to detect arrhythmias without patient intervention, and the mechanism of delivery of the information from pa tient to clinicia n. These devices may be used to evaluate symptoms suggestive of arrhythmias (eg, syncope, palpitations), and may be used to detect atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients who have undergone cardiac ablation of AF or who have a history of cryptogenic stroke. Ca rdiac monitoring is routinely used in the inpatient setting to detect acute changes in heart rate or rhythm that may need urgent response. For some clinical conditions, a more prolonged period of monitoring in the ambulatory setting is needed to detect heart rate or rhythm abnormalities that may occur infrequently. These cases may include the diagnosis of arrhythmias in patients with signs and symptoms suggestive of a rrhythmias, as well a s, the evaluation of paroxysmal a tria l fibrilla tion (AF). Arrhythmia Detection in Patients With Signs/Symptoms of Arrhythmia Ca rdiac a rrhythmias may be suspected because of symptoms suggestive of a rrhythmias, including palpitations, dizziness, or syncope or presyncope, or because of abnormal heart rate or rhythm noted on exam. A full discussion of the differential diagnosis and evaluation of each of these symptoms is beyond the scope of this review, but some general principles on the use of ambulatory monitoring are discussed.

  • Impaired Cardiac Autonomic Nervous Control After Cardiac Bypass Surgery for Congenital Heart Disease૾૾૾
    Impaired cardiac autonomic nervous control after cardiac bypass surgery for congenital heart disease૾૾૾, Laura McGlonea, *, Neil Patelbc , David Young , Mark D. Danton b aPrincess Royal Maternity Hospital, Alexandra Parade, Glasgow, Scotland, UK bThe Royal Hospital for Sick Children, Yorkhill, Glasgow, UK cDepartment of Medical Statistics, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UK Abstract We undertook a study to describe changes in heart rate variability (HRV) postoperatively in children undergoing cardiac bypass surgery for congenital heart disease (CHD). HRV was recorded for a 1-h period preoperatively and a 24-h period postoperatively in 20 children with CHD. We found a highly significant reduction in HRV in both time and frequency domain indices compared to preoperative values, which was sustained throughout the 24-h study period. There was a negative correlation between both time and frequency domain HRV measurements and length of cardiac bypass. HRV is reduced postoperatively and correlates with cardiac bypass time. Length of cardiac bypass time may be one mechanism whereby HRV is reduced following surgery. Keywords: Cardiopulmonary bypass; Congenital; Autonomic nervous system; Heart rate 1.
