How Open Heart Defect Repair (Cardiopulmonary Bypass, ASD/VSD/PDA) is performed
Under general anesthesia, the heart is exposed through a chest incision, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is established, and the lesion is repaired by suturing, patching, or reconstructing the channel in a stopped or reduced-load state. Intraoperative transesophageal ultrasound is used to evaluate the repair effect, and after hemostasis and drainage, cardiopulmonary bypass is withdrawn. Postoperative monitoring in the ICU focuses on circulation, respiration, and bleeding, with the goal of stabilizing cardiopulmonary function and gradual recovery. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific details should be based on specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
