[Postoperative management in neonate after open cardiac surgery]

Recent advances in diagnostic method and preoperative care have allowed us to perform surgical repair in neonate. Important to the successful outcome of open cardiac surgery in neonate is cautious management in postoperative period. So we investigated the hemodynamics in the first 72 hours following open heart surgery for TAPVC, TGA and PAIVS. The hemodynamics in acute period are different according to patient age. Especially, early neonates under 14 days present low systemic blood pressure and high central venous pressure. So we must manage them according to their hemodynamic characteristics.
