In those cases, attention to haemodynamic status is imperative alongside medical therapy (aspirin, statin, beta-blocker).
Further knowledge and experience in the haemodynamic monitoring and pathophysiology of the cardiovascular system may be obtained by spending time in the intensive care unit.
Sudden haemodynamic alterations may also result in ischaemic damage to brain, heart and kidneys with subsequent cyst formation in the survivor.
In retrospect, the haemodynamic condition in this child would have been that of complete transposition.
Neurohumoral changes also become important in maintaining these haemodynamic changes if orthostatic stress is prolonged.
In this study we have investigated the potential use of negative pressure ventilation as a haemodynamic tool in children after right heart surgery.
We conclude that the method has enormous potential for haemodynamic studies in term, preterm and even the extremely low birth weight infant.
Pulmonary artery catheterisation may be helpful in guiding haemodynamic management.
