Postoperative hemodynamics after norwood palliation for hypoplastic left heart syndrome

Hemodynamics after Norwood palliation for hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) have been incompletely characterized, although emphasis has been placed on the role that an excess pulmonary-to-systemic blood flow ratio (Qp/Qs) may play in causing hemodynamic instability. Studies suggest that maximal...

Description
Summary:Hemodynamics after Norwood palliation for hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) have been incompletely characterized, although emphasis has been placed on the role that an excess pulmonary-to-systemic blood flow ratio (Qp/Qs) may play in causing hemodynamic instability. Studies suggest that maximal oxygen delivery occurs at a Qp/Qs
