چکیده
We describe a case of a preterm newborn with congenital complete atrioventricular block (CAVB), delivered for distress by cesarean section, and undergone, at 1295 grams of weight, to permanent pacemaker implantation. The pacemaker has been inserted between the upper left rectus abdominal muscle and the posterior rectus sheath and connected by two epicardial leads on the left ventricle wall. The procedure has been successfull.

متن کاملAnaesthetic management of a premature low-birth-weight neonate with congenital complete heart block for implantation of temporary epicardial pacing wires.
The optimal anaesthetic management of neonates with complete congenital heart block (CCHB) is unknown, as there is a low incidence of such cases. Neonates with CCHB often require surgery for the initiation of electronic pacing. In addition to the challenges of anaesthetising a neonate, this procedure is risky due to the potential for hypotension, arrhythmias and cardiac arrest. We herein presen...

We report a very low birthweight infant with congenital complete atrioventricular block (CCAVB) who underwent delayed implantation of a permanent pacemaker without temporary pacing. The female infant was born at 30 weeks gestation and weighed 1422 g. After birth, the infant showed respiratory failure due to pleural effusion and respiratory distress syndrome at birth. The heart rate ranged betwe...
