Key Questions in CONGENITAL CARDIAC SURGERY
In addition to systemic blood pressure, both right and left atrial
pressure should be monitored post-bypass. Pulmonary hypertension may persist post-bypass but may be
managed by ventilation and pulmonary vasodilators, such as milrinone and nitric oxide. If these fail, atrial fenestration allows decompression through a right-left shunt. Delayed sternal closure may be required to improve right ventricular
function. Special care is necessary during any transfers.
18 Describe how the risk of anaesthesia can be minimised
in a patient with Eisenmenger syndrome
Anaesthesia in a patient with Eisenmenger syndrome carries
significant mortality and should not be performed unless essential. Adequate venous return is crucial in pulmonary hypertension. Pre-
operative starvation should not exceed international recommendations:
a) solid food and milk — 6 hours; b) clear fluids — 1 hour.
Systemic arterial pressure fluctuates with variations in SVR and PVR.
When intracardiac communications are present, right-to-left shunting
and worsening cyanosis will be exacerbated by a:
a) fall in SVR, such as caused by anaesthesia; b) rise in PVR, such as caused by hypoxia, hypercarbia or
inadequate anaesthesia/analgesia.
Similarly, left-to-right shunting, which occurs with RV dilatation,
further dysfunction and increased risk of arrhythmias, increases with elevation in the SVR, such as caused by pain, anxiety or inadequate anaesthesia. Fluctuations in the heart rate and myocardial contractility should be
avoided. Effective communication between the surgeon and anaesthetist allows responses to surgical stimuli to be minimised. Oral anticoagulants should be converted to short-acting intravenous
agents peri-operatively, to avoid both thrombosis and excessive bleeding.

19 How does the presence of congenital heart disease
influence haemostasis?
Coagulation in congenital heart disease, especially cyanotic lesions
with polycythaemia, is modified by a number of factors, including:
a) thrombocytopaenia; b) reduced fibrinogen levels; c) increased fibrinolysis; d) decreased levels of factors V and VIII, possibly secondary to
liver hypoperfusion.
Polycythaemia and hyperviscosity cause impaired flow, which is
implicated in thrombus formation. Cardiopulmonary bypass causes haemodilution and exposes blood
to synthetic surfaces. Inflammatory and coagulation pathways are activated, causing platelet dysfunction and coagulation abnormalities independent of heparin.
20 What are the implications of congenital heart disease
for peri-operative blood transfusion?
Previous transfusions are common, increasing the risk of antibody
formation and making cross-matching more complex than usual. Rapid, point-of-care testing including HemoCue®, SpHb and
thromboelastography®(TEG®) can guide the administration of blood products and reduce the exposure to risk from excessive bleeding or thromboembolic events, especially in complex redo procedures or surgery for single-ventricle palliation. Cyanotic patients with poor cardiac output may require an increased
haematocrit. Over-transfusion, however, causes hyperviscosity and fluid overload, in addition to recognised risks, such as transfusion­associated lung injury (TRALI).

21 What are the anaesthetic considerations for
percutaneous device closure of an atrial septal defect?
Although small ASDs may be closed percutaneously, the cardiac
catheterisation laboratory environment can be challenging for the anaesthetist because:
a) access to the patient is limited by conflicting equipment
requirements;
262

b) ambient light is low, to improve contrast on the display
screens;
c) temperature control is often not as effective as in the operating
theatre;
d) anaesthetic gas scavenging, gas supply and air-change rates
rarely reach operating theatre standards.
Vascular access sites and consent for transoesophageal
echocardiography (TOE) should be confirmed pre-procedure. Blood loss from the puncture sites may be underestimated.
Device displacement or embolisation are rare complications, with a
reported rate of 0.55%, necessitating percutanous retrieval or open surgery.
22 What strategies may be used to improve weaning from
cardiopulmonary bypass?
Weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass is one of the most critical
phases of the entire operation and must be managed with maximal communication and clarity of action. The anaesthetist, surgeon and perfusionist should operate according to one common strategy and sequence of events. One of the most important factors for a successful wean is achieving
an adequate repair. Residual lesions are generally poorly tolerated, both from a haemodynamic balancing and myocardial function standpoint. It is paramount that attention is placed at identifying any early signs
of myocardial dysfunction and circulatory imbalance. Ventilation and pulmonary function need to be optimised prior to initiating the weaning procedures. Most groups adopt agreed weaning protocols, to eliminate
misunderstandings and adverse events. The effects of residual lesions are numerous and can be severe,
including:
a) pressure overload — in the presence of residual stenoses,
such as RVOT obstruction, mitral stenosis or LVOT obstruction; this will worsen the oxygen supply-demand balance, leading to right ventricular failure, left ventricular failure or biventricular failure, which can have catastrophic consequences;
b) volume overload — in the presence of a residual VSD,
significant atrioventricular valve regurgitation or an untreated

large PDA; this will reduce systemic cardiac output and/or result in pulmonary overflow at the expense of systemic perfusion, leading to both cerebral and myocardial hypoperfusion, and early ventricular failure.
Early signs of myocardial dysfunction may be identified by:
a) poor systemic blood pressure in the presence of a normal
afterload and adequate preload;
b) high venous pressures (including left atrial pressure when
indicated) and inadequate systemic pressure; c) poor pulmonary blood flow as indicated by low end-tidal CO d) decreasing arterial oxygen saturation; e) direct observation of a poorly contracting heart, mottled
epicardium, distended ventricles and ensuing bradycardia; f) TOE or epicardial echocardiographic evidence.
Arrhythmias have a significant impact on cardiac function, including:
a) bradycardia — which causes a linear reduction in cardiac
output in children; b) tachyarrhythmias — which reduce diastolic filling time and
coronary perfusion, and increase myocardial work; c) epicardial pacing — which may be required to achieve optimal
rate and rhythm.

Filling pressures should be optimised. As PVR varies more in
children, right atrial pressure (RAP) may not reflect left-sided filling pressures, and hence it may be necessary to directly monitor left atrial pressure (LAP). Calcium handling in the neonatal myocardium is immature and
extracellular calcium has a more significant role. Ionised calcium levels must be targeted to optimise contractility. Inotropes may be required, with the choice of agent depending on
the underlying pathology. In view of the relative hypertrophy of the RV and reactive pulmonary vasculature, milrinone is commonly used in infants. Temperature and adequate rewarming procedures are paramount to
maintain control of vascular tone, ventricular afterload and enzymatic function, especially for the coagulation system. Failure to respond to pharmacological measures may necessitate the
use of mechanical assist devices, usually extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) or ventricular assist devices (VAD).

patients with congenital heart disease
Minimum monitoring standards are set for all patients undergoing
general anaesthesia (including transfer) and are shown in italics below. They ensure both safety and lack of awareness and pain (Figure 10).

24 What are the principles behind cerebral oximetry
monitoring in congenital cardiac surgery?
Unlike haemoglobin, bone and tissue are largely transparent to near-
infrared (IR) light.
266
Key Questions in CONGENITAL CARDIAC SURGERY
Oxyhaemoglobin and deoxyhaemoglobin absorb different
wavelengths of IR light maximally (Figure 11). The relative absorption of IR light at 730nm and 810nm by oxygenated and deoxygenated haemoglobin is estimated from the proportion of reflected light.
Figure 11. Oxygenated and deoxygenated haemoglobin absorbs IR
light to different extents at different wavelengths. The relative proportions of each can therefore be measured.
Unlike conventional pulse oximtery, cerebral oximetry does not
require pulsatile flow. It can therefore be used during cardiopulmonary bypass Regional oxygen saturation is measured by placing a light-emitting
source and a photo-detector over adjacent portions of skin. With the oximeter on the forehead, cerebral cortex oxygenation can be estimated (Figure 12). Cerebral oxygenation can be used as a marker of cerebral perfusion.
Manipulation of systemic blood flow, cerebral vascular tone and haematocrit aids optimisation.

25 What are the risks with central venous access in a
patient with congenital heart disease (Figure 13)?
Although rare, complications may be fatal and must be considered
prior to line placement. The frequency of complications is inversely proportional to the patient’s weight. Immediate risks include:
a) trauma to vessels (aberrant anatomy increases risk); b) arterial cannulation; c) arrhythmias — particularly if lines or wires enter the atrium; d) air embolus — which may become paradoxical in the presence
of shunts, especially in spontaneously ventilated patients; e) embolisation of catheter or guidewire parts, if multiple lines are
inserted.
Early risks include:
a) blood loss — which may be concealed under the drapes; b) pneumothorax, haemothorax or hydrothorax — especially when
internal jugular or subclavian vessels are cannulated.

USA). The blue-coloured tip is made from very pliable material that minimises vessel trauma. Insertion is performed over a ‘J’ tip guidewire using the Seldinger technique.
Medium-term risks include:
a) infection; b) venous thrombosis — especially with subclavian lines.
Long-term risks include:
a) vessel occlusion — which may result in problems for future
catheterisation or surgery;
b) vessel stenosis — which is particularly important in passive
circulations where venous return (and therefore cardiac output) may be impaired.
Risks can be reduced by simple manoeuvres, including:
a) ultrasound — which reduces the risk of mechanical
complications;
b) Trendelenburg position — which minimises the chance of air
embolus;

26 What are the indications and risks associated with
transoesophageal echocardiography?
TOE allows dynamic imaging of the heart and great vessels. Probes
are available for children heavier than 3.5kg (Figure 14).

articulated scanning tip, which allows movement through a wide range of angles.
The indications are wide ranging and include:
a) assessment of anatomy when transthoracic echocardiography
(TTE) is non-diagnostic, or impossible due to patient
compliance, surgical access or poor windows; b) diagnosing pathology, including endocarditis or thrombus,
prior to cardioversion; c) immediate evaluation of surgical results in theatre;
