INTRODUCTION
• Number of children reaching adulthood with CHD has increased over the last 5 decades
• D/T advances in diagnosis, medical, critical and surgical care
• Therefore, not uncommon for adult patients with CHD to present for non-cardiac surgery
![Page 3: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
INCIDENCE• 7 to 10 per 1000 live births• Premature infants 2-3X higher incidence• Most common form of congenital disease• Accounts for 30% of total incidence of all
congenital diseases• 10% -15% have associated congenital
anomalies of skeletal, RT, GUT or GIT• Only 15% survive to adulthood without
treatment
![Page 4: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
ETIOLOGY
• 10% associated with chromosomal abnormalities
• Two thirds of these occur with Trisomy 21
• One third occur with karyotypic abnormalities such as Trisomy 13, Trisomy 18 & Turner Syndrome
• Remaining 90% are multifactorial in origin
• Interaction of several genes with or without external factors such as rubella, ethanol abuse, lithium and maternal diabetes mellitus
![Page 5: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
FETAL CIRCULATION
• There are 4 shunts in fetal circulation: placenta, ductus venosus, foramen ovale, and ductus arteriosus
• In adult, gas exchange occurs in lungs. In fetus, the placenta provides the exchange of gases and nutrients
![Page 6: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
CARDIOPULMONARY CHANGES AT BIRTH
• Removal of placenta results in following:
• ↑ SVR (because the placenta has lowest vascular resistance in the fetus)
• Cessation of blood flow in the umbilical vein resulting in closure of the ductus venosus
![Page 7: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
CARDIOPULMONARY CHANGES AT BIRTH
• Lung expansion → reduction of the pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), an increase in pulmonary blood flow, & a fall in PA pressure
![Page 8: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
CARDIOPULMONARY CHANGES AT BIRTH
• LUNG EXPANSION:– Functional closure of the foramen ovale as a result
↑ LAP in excess RAP – The LAP increases as a result of the ↑ PBF and ↑
pulmonary venous return to the LA – RAP pressure falls as a result of closure of the
ductus venosus– PDA closure D/T ↑ arterial oxygen saturation
![Page 9: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
CARDIOPULMONARY CHANGES AT BIRTH
• PVR high as SVR near or at term
• High PVR maintained by ↑ amount of smooth muscle in walls of pulmonary arterioles & alveolar hypoxia resulting from collapsed lungs
• Lung expansion → ↑ alveolar oxygen tension → ↓ PVR
![Page 10: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
CLASSIFICATION OF CHD
• L – R SHUNTS– Defects connecting arterial & venous circulation – SVR > PVR → ↑ PBF – ↑ pulmonary blood flow → pulmonary congestion
→ CHF → ↑ susceptibility to RTI– Long standing L-R shunts → PHT– PVR > SVR → R-L shunt → Eisenmenger’s
syndrome
![Page 11: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
CLASSIFICATION OF CHD
• L - R SHUNTS INCLUDE :5– ASDASD →7.5% of CHD
– VSDVSD → COMMONEST CHD – 25%
– PDA PDA → 7.5% of CHD• Common in premature infants
– ENDOCARDIAL CUSHION DEFECT - 3%ENDOCARDIAL CUSHION DEFECT - 3%• Often seen with trisomy 21( Common atrioventricular canal,
Atrioventricular septal defect)[single Av annulus that drains boths atria] 3 components [Ostium primum+interventricular communication+abnormal AV valves}
– AORTOPULMONARY WINDOW[vascular communication between the ascending aorta and main pulm artery]
![Page 12: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
VENTRICULAR SEPTAL DEFECT
![Page 13: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
ATRIOVENTRICULAR CANAL DEFECT
![Page 14: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
L – R SHUNTS
• PERIOPERATIVE TREATMENT– Indomethacin → PDA closure– Digoxin, diuretics, ACE inhibitors → CHF– Main PA band → ↑ PVR → ↓ L-R shunt– Definitive open heart surgery
• POSTOPERATIVE PROBLEMS– SVTs and conduction delays– Valvular incompetence → most common after
canal defect repairs
![Page 15: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• A subset of associated cardiac anomalies—so-called ductal-dependent lesions—depend on flow through the PDA to maintain systemic blood flow. Premature closure of the ductus without concurrent repair of the following defects is contraindicated and may be fatal:
• Pulmonary artery hypoplasia• Pulmonary atresia• Tricuspid atresia• Transposition of the great arteries• Aortic valve atresia• Mitral valve atresia with hypoplastic left ventricle• Severe coarctation of the aorta/Interrupted aortic arch
![Page 16: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
CLASSIFICATION OF CHD

R – L SHUNTS
• GOAL → ↑ PBF to improve oxygenation– Neonatal PGE1 (0.03 – 0.10mcg/kg/min)
maintains PDA → ↑ PBF– PGE1 complications → vasodilatation,
hypotension, bradycardia, arrhythmias, apnea or hypoventilation, seizures, hyperthermia
– Palliative shunts → ↑ PBF, improve hypoxemia and stimulate growth in PA → aids technical feasibility of future repair

![Page 22: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
TETRALOGY OF FALLOT
• Hypercyanotic ( “tet” ) spells occur D/T infundibular spasm, low pH or low PaO2
• In awake patient manifests as acute cyanosis & hyperventilation
• May occur with feeding, crying, defecation or stress
• During anesthesia D/T acute dynamic infundibular spasm
![Page 23: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
TETRALOGY OF FALLOT
• Treatment of Hypercyanotic Spells– High FiO2 → pulmonary vasodilator → ↓ PVR– Hydration (fluid bolus) → opens RVOT– Morphine (0.1mg/kg/dose) → sedation,↓ PVR– Ketamine → ↑ SVR, sedation, analgesia → ↑ PBF– Phenylephrine (1mcg/kg/dose) → ↑ SVR– β-blockers (Esmolol 100-200mcg/kg/min)
→ ↓HR,-ve inotropy → improves flow across obstructed valve &↓ infundibular spasm

TETRALOGY OF FALLOT
• Halothane → ↓ HR & -ve inotropy– Rapidly tuned on and off– Careful in severe RVF
• Thiopental → -ve inotropy
• Squatting, abdominal compression→↑ SVR

CLASSIFICATION OF CHD
• COMPLEX SHUNTS (MIXING LESIONS)– Continuous mixing of venous and arterial blood –
blood saturation 70% - 80%– May or may not be obstruction to flow– Produce both cyanosis and CHF– Overzealous improvement in PBF steals
circulation from aorta → systemic hypotension → coronary ischemia
![Page 27: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
CLASSIFICATION OF CHD
• COMPLEX SHUNTS INCLUDE :– TRUNCUS ARTERIOSUS(single arterial trunk arising from both ventricles,failure of
the truncus to divide into aorta nd pulmonary artery)Always VSD
– TRANSPOSITION OF GREAT VESSELS – 5%
• Arterial switch procedure > 95% survival (d-type)
• L-type where both the 2 ventricles and the 2 great vessels are swaped(corrected TGA)
– TOTAL ANOMALOUS PV RETURN(all pulm viens drain into sys circ. Rather than lt atrium. Vertical vien then SVC, Supracardiac ,intracardiac in rt atrium ,or infracardiac in portal vien or IVC)
– DOUBLE OUTLET RIGHT VENTRICLE(4 Types depending on the relation of the conotruncal VSD with the great vessels.

ANESTHETIC MANAGEMENT
• Perioperative management requires a team approach
• Most important consideration is necessity for individualized care
• CHD is polymorphic and may clinically manifest across a broad clinical spectrum
![Page 47: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
ANESTHETIC MANAGEMENT
• Unpalliated
• Partially palliated
• Completely palliated– ASD and PDA only congenital lesions that
can be truly “corrected”
Anesthesiologists will encounter children with CHD for elective non-cardiac surgery at one of three stages:
![Page 48: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
ANESTHETIC MANAGEMENT
• 50% Dx by 1st week of life; rest by 5 years• Child’s diagnosis & current medical condition
will determine preoperative evaluation• Understand the anatomic and hemodynamic
function of child’s heart• Discuss case with pediatrician and cardiologist• Review diagnostic & therapeutic interventions• Above will estimate disease severity and help
formulate anesthetic plan
![Page 49: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
HISTORY & PHYSICAL
• Assess functional status – daily activities & exercise tolerance
• Infants - ↓ cardiac reserve → cyanosis, diaphoresis & respiratory distress during feeding
• Palpitations, syncope, chest pain• Heart murmur (s)• Congestive heart failure• Hypertension

MONITORING
• Routine CAS monitoring
• Precordial or esophageal stethoscope
• Continuous airway manometry
• Multiple - site temperature measurement
• Volumetric urine collection
• Pulse oximetry on two different limbs
• TEE
![Page 60: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
MONITORING
• PDA– Pulse oximetry right hand to measure pre-ductal
oxygenation– 2nd probe on toe to measure post-ductal
oxygenation
• COARCTATION OF AORTA– Pulse oximeter on right upper limb– Pre and post - coarctation blood pressure cuffs
should be placed
![Page 61: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
ANESTHETIC AGENTS
• INHALATIONAL AGENTS– Safe in children with minor cardiac defects– Most common agents used are halothane and
sevoflurane in oxygen– Monitor EKG for changes in P wave retrograde
P wave or junctional rhythm may indicate too deep anesthesia
![Page 62: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
INHALATIONAL ANESTHETICS
• HALOTHANE– Depresses myocardial function, alters sinus
node function, sensitizes myocardium to catecholamines
MAP + HR CI + EF
• Relax infundibular spasm in TOF
• Agent of choice for HCOM
![Page 63: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
INHALATIONAL ANESTHETICS
SEVOFLURANE
• No HR
• Less myocardial depression than Halothane
• Mild SVR → improves systemic flow in L-R shunts
• Can produce diastolic dysfunction
![Page 64: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
INHALATIONAL ANESTHETICS
ISOFLURANE
• Pungent not good for induction
• Incidence of laryngospasm > 20%
• Less myocardial depression than Halothane
• Vasodilatation leads to SVR → MAP HR which can lead to CI
![Page 65: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
INHALATIONAL ANESTHETICS
DESFLURANE
• Pungent not good for induction; highest incidence of laryngospasm
• SNS activation → with fentanyl HR + SVR
• Less myocardial depression than Halothane
![Page 66: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
INHALATIONAL ANESTHETICS
NITROUS OXIDE
• Enlarge intravascular air emboli
• May cause microbubbles and macrobubbles to expand obstruction to blood flow in arteries and capillaries
• In shunts, potential for bubbles to be shunted into systemic circulation
![Page 67: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
INHALATIONAL ANESTHETICS
NITROUS OXIDE
• At 50% concentration does not affect PVR and PAP in children
• Mildly CO at 50% concentration
• Avoid in children with limited pulmonary blood flow, PHT or myocardial function
![Page 68: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
IM & IV ANESTHETICS
KETAMINE• No change in PVR in children when airway
maintained & ventilation supported• Sympathomimetic effects help maintain HR,
SVR, MAP and contractility• Greater hemodynamic stability in
hypovolemic patients• Copious secretions → laryngospasm →
atropine or glycopyrrolate
![Page 69: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
IM & IV ANESTHETICS
KETAMINE• Relative contraindications may be coronary
insufficiency caused by:– anomalous coronary artery– severe critical AS– hypoplastic left heart syndrome with aortic atresia– hypoplasia of the ascending aorta
• Above patients prone to VF d/t coronary insufficiency d/t catecholamine release from ketamine
![Page 70: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)

IM & IV ANESTHETICS
OPIOIDS• Excellent induction agents in very sick children• No cardiodepressant effects if bradycardia avoided• If used with N2O - negative inotropic effects of
N2O may appear• Fentanyl 25-100 µg/kg IV• Sufentanil 5-20 µg/kg IV• Pancuronium 0.05 - 0.1 mg/kg IV offset
vagotonic effects of high dose opioids
![Page 72: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
IM & IV ANESTHETICS
ETOMIDATE• CV stability• 0.3 mg/kg IV
THIOPENTAL & PROPOFOL• Not recommended in patients with severe cardiac
defects• In moderate cardiac defects:
– Thiopental 1-2 mg/kg IV or Propofol 1-1.5 mg/kg IV– Patient euvolemic
![Page 73: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
ANESTHETIC MANAGEMENT
• GENERAL PRINCIPLES
Where:
Q = Blood flow (CO)
P = Pressure within a chamber or vessel
R = Vascular resistance of pulmonary or systemic vasculature
Ability to alter above relationship is the basic tenet of anesthetic management in children with CHD
RP
Q
![Page 74: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
ANESTHETIC MANAGEMENT
P manipulate with positive or negative inotropic agents
Q hydration + preload and inotropes
However, the anesthesiologist’s principal focus is an attempt to manipulate resistance, by dilators and constrictors
![Page 75: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
ANESTHETIC MANAGEMENT
• GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS– De-air intravenous lines air bubble in a R-L shunt
can cross into systemic circulation and cause a stroke
– L-R shunt air bubbles pass into lungs and are absorbed
– Endocarditis prophylaxis– Tracheal narrowing d/t subglottic stenosis or
associated vascular malformations
![Page 76: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
ANESTHETIC MANAGEMENT
– Tracheal shortening or stenosis esp. in children with trisomy 21
– Strokes from embolic phenomena in R-L shunts and polycythemia
– Chronic hypoxemia compensated by polycythemia → ↑ O2 carrying capacity
– HCT ≥ 65% → ↑ blood viscosity → tissue hypoxia & ↑ SVR & PVR → venous thrombosis → strokes & cardiac ischemia
![Page 77: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
ANESTHETIC MANAGEMENT
– Normal or low HCT D/T iron deficiency → less deformable RBCs → ↑ blood viscosity
– Therefore adequate hydration & decrease RBC mass if HCT > 65%
– Diuretics → hypochloremic, hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis
![Page 78: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
ANESTHETIC MANAGEMENT
ANESTHESIA INDUCTION
• Myocardial function preserved IV or inhalational techniques suitable
• Severe cardiac defects IV induction
• Modify dosages in patients with severe failure
![Page 79: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
ANESTHESIC MANAGEMENT
ANESTHESIA MAINTENANCE
• Depends on preoperative status
• Response to induction & tolerance of individual patient
• Midazolam 0.15-0.2 mg/IV for amnesia
![Page 80: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
ANESTHETIC MANAGEMENT
• L - R SHUNTS :• Continuous dilution in pulmonary
circulation may onset time of IV agents
• Speed of induction with inhalation agents not affected unless CO is significantly reduced
• Degree of RV overload and/or failure underappreciated – careful induction
![Page 81: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
ANESTHETIC MANAGEMENT
• L-R SHUNTS :– GOAL = SVR and ↑ PVR → L-R shunt
• PPV & PEEP increases PVR• Ketamine increases SVR• Inhalation agents decrease SVR
![Page 82: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
ANESTHETIC MANAGEMENT
• R-L SHUNTS :– GOAL : PBF by SVR and ↓ PVR
PVR & ↓ SVR → ↓ PBF – Hypoxemia/atelectasis/PEEP
– Acidosis/hypercapnia HCT
– Sympathetic stimulation & surgical stimulation
– Vasodilators & inhalation agents → ↓ SVR
![Page 83: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
ANESTHETIC MANAGEMENT
• ↓ PVR & SVR → PBF– Hyperoxia/Normal FRC– Alkalosis/hypocapnia– Low HCT– Low mean airway pressure– Blunted stress response– Nitric oxide/ pulmonary vasodilators– Vasoconstrictors & direct manipulation→ SVR
![Page 84: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
ANESTHETIC MANAGEMENT
• R –L SHUNTS :– Continue PE1 infusions
– Adequate hydration esp. if HCT > 50%– Inhalation induction prolonged by limited
pulmonary blood flow– IV induction times are more rapid d/t bypassing
pulmonary circulation dilution– PEEP and PPV increase PVR
![Page 85: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
ANESTHETIC MANAGEMENT
• COMPLEX SHUNTS :• Manipulating PVR or SVR to PBF will:
• Not improve oxygenation• Worsen biventricular failure• Steal circulation from aorta and cause
coronary ischemia
• Maintain “status” quo with high dose opioids that do not significantly affect heart rate, contractibility, or resistance is recommended
![Page 86: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
ANESTHETIC MANAGEMENT
• COMPLEX SHUNTS :– Short procedures slow gradual induction with low
dose Halothane least effect on +ve chronotropy & SVR
– Nitrous Oxide limits FiO2 & helps prevent coronary steal & ↓ Halothane requirements
![Page 87: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
ANESTHETIC MANAGEMENT
• OBSTRUCTIVE LESIONS• Lesions with > 50 mmHg pressure gradient +
CHF opioid technique• Optimize preload improves flow beyond
lesion• Avoid tachycardia ↑ myocardial demand & ↓
flow beyond obstruction• Inhalation agents -ve inotropy & decrease
SVR worsens gradient & flow past obstruction
![Page 88: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
REGIONAL ANESTHESIA &ANALGESIA
• CONSIDERATIONS– Coarctation of aorta dilated tortuous intercostal
collateral arteries risk for arterial puncture and absorption of local anesthetic during intercostal blockade
– Lungs may absorb up to 80% of local anesthetic on first passage. Therefore risk of local anesthetic toxicity in R-L shunts
![Page 89: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
• Central axis blockade may cause vasodilation which can:
i. Be hazardous in patients with significant AS or left-sided obstructive lesions
ii. Cause oxyhemoglobin saturation in R-L shunts
iii. Improve microcirculation flow and venous thrombosis in patients with polycythemia
• Children with chronic cyanosis are at risk for coagulation abnormalities
REGIONAL ANESTHESIA &ANALGESIA
![Page 90: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
POSTOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT
• Children with CHD are very susceptible to:i. Deleterious effects of hypoventilation
ii. Mild decreases in oxyhemoglobin saturation
Therefore, give supplemental O2 and maintain patent airway
• In patients with single ventricle titrate SaO2 to 85%. Higher oxygen saturations can PVR PBF systemic blood flow
![Page 91: Anesthesia For Children With Congenital Heart Disease1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062615/548e59c7b47959c8038b45eb/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
• Pain catecholamines which can affect vascular resistance and shunt direction
• Anticipate conduction disturbances in septal defects
• Pain infundibular spasm in TOF RVOT obstruction cyanosis, hypoxia, syncope, seizures, acidosis and death
POSTOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT
