[Management of postoperative arrhythmia after open heart surgery in complex congenital heart disease]. 1991

Shenyang Military General Hospital, PLA.

The incidence of postoperative arrhythmia was 35.2% in 264 cases with complex congenital heart diseases underwent open heart surgery between Feb, 1988 and Aug, 1989. Postoperative arrhythmia was closely related to preoperative hematocrit, cardiomegaly, prolonged aortic occlusion, ratio of RV/LV systolic pressure greater than 0.75, hypokalemia and low cardiac output syndrome. Infusion of colloid solution and both potassium and magnesium as well as successful surgery and the preventive administration of antiarrhythmic agent played an important role in the prevention and treatment of postoperative arrhythmia.

D004310 Double Outlet Right Ventricle Incomplete transposition of the great vessels in which both the AORTA and the PULMONARY ARTERY arise from the RIGHT VENTRICLE. The only outlet of the LEFT VENTRICLE is a large ventricular septal defect (VENTRICULAR SEPTAL DEFECTS or VSD). The various subtypes are classified by the location of the septal defect, such as subaortic, subpulmonary, or noncommitted.
