Neonatal decompensation before surgery in hypoplastic left heart syndrome: a case control study

Abstract: Heart and respiratory rates, and metabolic acid base trajectories show subtle differences prior to decompensation in neonates with HLHS. These findings highlight the importance of evaluating rates of change rather than absolute values of physiological and laboratory variables.

“…In the preoperative state, SV neonates maintained on prostaglandin E1 to maintain a patent ductus arteriosus are at risk of pulmonary overcirculation (i.e., systemic hypoperfusion with increased pulmonary blood flow). While an essential right to left shunt occurs during systole, diastolic steal increases as pulmonary vascular resistance falls [27, [63][64][65]. It is not until after the Stage I palliation that the SV circulation is better balanced between pulmonary and systemic blood flow, which leads to a decrease in SaO 2 .…”
