Anaesthetic Management in a Patient with Fontan Circulation Posted for Elective Tibial Nailing

چکیده
The fatality rate for pediatric population with complex congenital cardiac disease has decreased as a result of improvements in surgical techniques and conservative management [1]. Therefore, more patients are presenting non-cardiac surgeries adults history [2]. For individuals single ventricle physiology, the fontan procedure is palliative operation that reroutes systemic venous return to pulmonary artery [3]. Despite outcomes, this aberrant circulation number co-morbidities, including dysfunction, arrhythmias, shunt abnormalities, limited exercise ability, other manifestations [4]. These raise various anaesthetic concerns, such understanding underlying morphology mechanics being conversant complexities physiology efficient intra-operative management. In report, we present case 17-year-old male, heart posted electively left tibia nailing under sequential combined spinal epidural anaesthesia.

Embolic myocardial infarction in a patient with a Fontan circulation.
Coronary artery embolism is an uncommon cause of acute myocardial infarction (MI). We present a patient with pulmonary atresia and severe right heart hypoplasia who underwent a lateral tunnel Fontan procedure in childhood and presented with an acute ST-segment elevation MI at 19 years of age. In addition to the known risk of thrombotic complications associated with a Fontan circulation, potenti...
متن کاملAnesthetic management of laparoscopic pheochromocytoma excision in a patient with a Fontan circulation: a case report
An 18-year-old male with a Fontan circulation underwent excision of a pheochromocytoma after conversion from laparoscopic surgery. The pneumoperitoneum established for laparoscopic surgery may have adverse effects on the Fontan circulation, because it increases the intra-abdominal pressure (IAP), intra-thoracic pressure, pulmonary vascular resistance, and systemic vascular resistance (SVR), and...
متن کاملInhaled iloprost for the treatment of patient with Fontan circulation
Decreased exercise capacity after Fontan surgery is relatively common and the failure of the Fontan state gradually increases with age. However, there is no further treatment for patients with Fontan circulation. Pulmonary vasodilation therapy is an effective method to solve this problem because pulmonary vascular resistance is a major factor of the Fontan problem. Inhaled iloprost is a chemica...

متن کاملManagement of the failing Fontan circulation
The ‘Fontan circulation’ has evolved to include a variety of surgical procedures designed to overcome the absence of two distinct ventricular chambers. w1ew3 Inherent to this circulation is chronic elevation of right atrial and vena caval pressure, and absence of a dedicated power source to serve the pulmonary circulation, making low pulmonary vascular resistance and optimal systemic ventricula...
