Cirugía cardíaca pediátrica

Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Hospitals in Hyderabad

CARE Hospitals is one of the best pediatric cardiology hospitals in Hyderabad for paediatric cardiovascular (heart) surgery. 

Cardiac surgery in children is recommended when a child suffers from severe heart disease. It helps repair heart defects so the child can have a healthy life. Some heart diseases may require immediate surgery after birth. In severe cases, these surgeries are performed for even months or years after childbirth. The type of surgery required and its number depend on the severity of the condition. These surgeries are performed by experienced and well-trained paediatric heart surgeons to provide comprehensive care to your child. 

At CARE Hospitals, minimally invasive treatment procedures are taken into consideration at first. If they do not go well, our healthcare team is at the forefront to use more invasive methods to reduce the risks of infection. This is the most sensitive period for parents. We understand their situation and therefore offer them the best services for their child. We regularly communicate with them and provide their child's treatment update. 

Nuestra experiencia en cirugía cardíaca pediátrica

CARE Hospitals has been the best medical centres for parents who want the best treatment for their child. Our multidisciplinary surgical and medical team work together to review the cases. Our paediatric cardiac surgeons can treat various diseases. Here, we offer the following types of paediatric cardiac surgery. 

• Structural heart disease and valve repair- CARE Hospital surgeons are experts in assessing and treating people diagnosed with heart diseases or valve conditions like aortic valve diseases, bicuspid and tricuspid regurgitation, and single-ventricle valve problems. Our surgeons also provide surgeries on the aorta, especially in children with Marfan syndrome, aortic valve disease and other connective tissue diseases. 

• Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and septal myectomy- Surgeons at CARE hospitals use the best surgical methods for obstructive and nonobstructive cardiomyopathy. Further, our surgeons and researchers are working on making advances in imaging, defibrillator strategies and arrhythmia treatment to prevent unexpected death. 

• Heart failure procedures and heart transplants- CARE Hospital is one of the leading medical centres for treating patients with a single ventricle. We also provide the facility of heart transplants in newborns and adults to ensure their health. 

• Minimally invasive - These days, the technology for treating structural heart diseases is increasing rapidly. In some cases, minimally invasive techniques can be used. This results in less pain and decreases recovery time. Our multidisciplinary team ensures that all treatment options are considered so that every individual can get the correct treatment at the correct time. 

• Ventricular assist device insertion- We provide the facility of ventricular assist device (VAD) insertion. It is a mechanical pump that helps restore blood flow and heart function. 

• Foetal cardiac interventions- CARE hospitals are at the forefront of foetal cardiac interventions to provide early treatment. Our maternal-foetal specialists work together to facilitate various complex interventions for cardiac diseases. This results in extensive care both for the mother and the developing child or foetus and ensures a smooth transition from foetal life to birth. 

Factores de riesgo de la cirugía cardíaca pediátrica

Los riesgos asociados a la cirugía cardíaca pediátrica incluyen:

• Complicaciones renales

• Anemia

• Problemas respiratorios

• problemas gastrointestinales

• Infección

• Necesidad de incubación de la tráquea

• Complicaciones vasculares

At CARE hospitals, these risks can be reduced with effective treatment options and proper medications. 

Diagnóstico de afecciones cardíacas pediátricas

At CARE Hospitals, various tests are performed to diagnose heart problems in children. At the appointment, our pediátrico cardiologists take the medical history of the patient and perform a physical exam. An electrocardiogram (ECG), chest X-ray and echocardiogram (forms ultrasound images of the heart) are suggested for the diagnosis. Further, blood tests are also important for patients with cyanosis (bluish discolouration of the skin) and single ventricle hearts. 

Our cardiology staff talks about every test with the child's parents and explains the procedures. After the tests are done, our cardiologists elaborate on the results and whether the follow-up is required or not. 

En ocasiones, las pruebas iniciales no aportan mucha información sobre la afección, y pueden ser necesarias más pruebas. Estas incluyen angiografía y cateterismo cardíaco, tomografía computarizada (TC) y resonancia magnética (RM), monitorización Holter y prueba de esfuerzo. 

El procedimiento de cirugía cardíaca pediátrica

El procedimiento de cirugía cardíaca pediátrica incluye tres fases. 

Fase 1 - Antes de la cirugía

Inicialmente, la idea de una cirugía asusta tanto a los padres como al niño. Por eso, ayudar al niño a prepararse para la cirugía es fundamental. Al principio, el niño hará preguntas a sus padres sobre el procedimiento, así que estos deben asegurarse de responderlas correctamente para aclarar sus dudas. Los padres también pueden pedir ayuda al médico o al personal sanitario. Asimismo, deben explicarle al niño cómo se realizará la cirugía, qué sucederá antes, durante y después. Deben asegurarle que el dolor se aliviará con medicamentos durante todo el proceso. 

Fase 2 - Durante la cirugía

The child is given general anaesthesia so he can fall asleep and be pain-free during the process. Then, the surgeon makes an incision in the chest. He cuts a part of the child's breastbone to expose the heart. Once the heart is visible, the child is connected to a bypass machine. It moves blood away from the heart so the surgeon can perform the procedure. He cuts a healthy vein or artery to form a new pathway around the damaged artery. Then, he uses the wire to close the breastbone and leaves it (wire) in the body. Thereupon, the outer incision is stitched. 

Phase 3- After the surgery

El niño puede sentir algo de dolor después del procedimiento; se le administran medicamentos para aliviarlo. Los padres pueden notar algunos cambios en el comportamiento de su hijo. En este momento, deben apoyarlo y tratarlo con cuidado.
