Pediatric Cardiac Surgery in Low- and Middle-Income Countries or Emerging Economies

World Journal for Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery (2015)

Nguyenvu Nguyen A. Thomas Pezzella

A number of recent publications, addresses, seminars, and conferences have addressed the global backlog and increasing incidence of both congenital and acquired cardiac diseases in children, with reference to early and delayed recognition, late referral, availability of and access to services, costs, risks, databases, and early and long-term results and follow-up. A variety of proposals, recommendations, and projects have been outlined and documented. The ultimate goal of these endeavors is to increase the quality and quantity of pediatric cardiac care and surgery worldwide and particularly in underserved areas. A contemporary review of past and present initiatives is presented with a subsequent focus on the more challenging areas.

Paediatric cardiac surgery in low-income and middle-income countries: a continuing challenge

Archives of Disease in Childhood (2015)

Nguyenvu Nguyen Juan León-Wyss Krishna Subramony Iyer A. Thomas Pezzella

Despite advances in surgical and catheter-based treatment for congenital heart disease (CHD), there remain wide disparities across the globe. Ongoing international humanitarian and in-country programmes are working to address these issues with the ultimate goal to increase the quality and quantity of paediatric cardiac care, particularly in under-served regions of the world. This review aims to illustrate the reasons for these inequalities and suggests novel ways of improving access and sustainability of CHD programmes in low-income and middle-income countries.

Fluid Management: Pharmacologic and Renal Replacement Therapies

Pediatric Critical Care Medicine (2016)

Eric Wald Gal Finer Mary E. McBride Nguyenvu Nguyen John M. Costello

Focusing on critically ill children with cardiac disease, we will review common causes of fluid perturbations, clinical recognition, and strategies to minimize and treat fluid-related complications.MEDLINE and PubMed.Meticulous fluid management is vital in critically ill children with cardiac disease. Fluid therapy is important to maintain adequate blood volume and perfusion pressure in order to support cardiac output, tissue perfusion, and oxygen delivery. However, fluid overload and acute kidney injury are common and are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Understanding the etiologies for disturbances in volume status and the pathophysiology surrounding those conditions is crucial for providing optimal care.

Current Perioperative Anticoagulation Practices in Children with Prosthetic Mechanical Heart Valves

Congenital Heart Disease (2015)

Nguyenvu Nguyen Anjali Sharathkumar

This study investigated the clinician practices on perioperative anticoagulation in children with prosthetic mechanical heart valves who undergo elective surgeries.An online survey was administered to members of PediHeartNet. The survey consisted of multiple choice questions and clinical scenarios.The study described clinical practice patterns and variables that influence the clinicians' bridging anticoagulation decisions.Ninety-one respondents completed the survey; 68% were affiliated with university settings; 91% were pediatric cardiologists, and 49% had ≥10 years of experience in pediatric cardiology. Approximately one-half of the respondents (54%) independently provided perioperative anticoagulation management to their patients, while 46% utilized cardiac or hematology anticoagulation services. Resources that influenced bridging decisions included hematology experts (20%), American College of Chest Physicians guidelines (34%), and the clinicians' personal experience (56%). In planning for major surgeries, 47% of the respondents hospitalized patients for unfractionated heparin (UFH) and 46% prescribed outpatient low molecular weight heparin (LMWH). For minor surgeries, 58% hospitalized patients for UFH, 22% prescribed outpatient LMWH, and 17% opted out of bridging anticoagulation. Immediately after mitral valve replacement, 23% used bridging anticoagulation with UFH. When LMWH was used, there were no reports of thromboembolic complications. Major bleeding complications were rare and reported by 2% of the respondents.This was the first documentation that clinical practice of bridging perioperative anticoagulation in children with mechanical heart valves varies widely among pediatric cardiac specialists. There is poor adoption of published guidelines and a tendency toward more conservative strategies. Further studies comparing the safety and efficacy of LMWH vs. UFH as perioperative anticoagulation agents in children with mechanical heart valves are needed to further clarify our findings. Quality assurance initiatives and education are also needed to improve guidelines adherence and standardize practice management.

Pharmacological manipulation of peripheral vascular resistance in special clinical situations after pediatric cardiac surgery

Current Vascular Pharmacology (2015)

Michael‐Alice Moga Nguyenvu Nguyen Mjaye Mazwi John M. Costello

Pediatric cardiac surgery patients commonly suffer from alterations in vascular tone in the early post-operative period. Pharmacologic manipulation of systemic vascular resistance (SVR) can be complex in a variety of special patient situations including extremes of age, presence of left sided valvar lesions and the use of mechanical circulatory support. Familiarity with how these special circumstances alter SVR and the response to pharmacologic intervention will allow for tailored therapy and hopefully, optimized outcomes. This article addresses the eighth topic of the special issue entitled “Pharmacologic strategies with afterload reduction in low cardiac output syndrome after pediatric cardiac surgery”. Keywords: Cardiac surgery, mechanical circulatory support, postoperative management, afterload reduction.Cardiac surgery, mechanical circulatory support, postoperative management, afterload reduction.

Sternal Precautions After Pediatric Cardiac Surgery: A Survey of Current Practice

American Journal of Occupational Therapy (2016)

Leslie Rodman Uher Nguyenvu Nguyen Michael C. Mongé

Abstract Date Presented 4/9/2016 Sternal precautions (SPs) are variable among pediatric heart centers surveyed. Results indicate institutions determine SP protocol based on culture and preferences rather than evidence-based research. Prolonged physical restrictions may negatively affect motor and sensory development.
