Enhancing Care of Children After Cardiac Surgery: A Comprehensive Review

Jyothi S Chandannawar

Abstract: It is necessary to improve children's care in order to help carers select the most appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic option for the benefit of the child recovering after surgery. For any parent, cardiac surgery is an intimidating event. Treating the youngster as normally as possible is part of aftercare. The ultimate objective is the child's mainstream inclusion. Not every heart that has been repaired is the same; some are weaker than others and may require lifelong monitoring, while others might require more surgery in the future. Heart surgery in children carries a large risk of post-operative morbidity and mortality. Therefore, it is imperative to recognise and measure clinical markers in the early postoperative phase that are predictive of both short- and long-term outcomes. These children's prognosis has been significantly impacted by the way the youngster was managed after surgery. The objective of improving post-operative care for children after cardiac surgery is to establish a framework for the management of paediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery as well as for anticipating and identifying issues that may emerge.
