Pediatric Cardiac Surgery
Paediatric cardiac surgery deals with heart disorders in children. Highly skilled cardiac experts will perform the surgery and follow several medical procedures. The procedures treat complex congenital heart defects in children and new-borns. Repairing heart malfunctions in children is a challenging task and paediatric heart surgeons will perform it with utmost care. Paediatric cardiac surgeons carry out the following responsibilities:
An incision is made via the breastbone while the child is under general anesthesia. It results in child unconscious and does not feel pain.
Tubes are widely used to re-route the blood by a special pump called heart-lung bypass machine. It gives additional oxygen to the blood and keeps warm blood. Moving through the rest of the body provides major surgery for children. Repairing the heart is the central concept by inserting tubes.
By using the machine, it allows the heart to be stopped. Possible actions will repair the heart muscle itself and involves blood vessels. After the procedure is done, the device is removed, and the heat beat is started again. The breastbone and the skin incision are closed up and repair the heart.
