Congenital heart disease
•Abnormality in
cardio circulatory
structure or function
that is present on
birth, even if it is
discovered much
later

How common are CHD?
Congenital heart disease àabout 0.8 % of all live births
Indonesia?
Approx. 43,200 cases of CHD per
year with 10,800severe CHD
MossandAdam’sheartdiseaseininfants,children,and
adolescentsincludingthefetusandyoungadult.9thed.2016
Trend in the prevalence of CHD
The reported prevalence of CHD globally
continues to increase, with evidence of severe
unmet diagnostic need

Importance of nurses in the cathlab
“We cannot offer the high level of care we strive
for today if we do not offer the best level of
education and opportunities to the nurses” –Jean

Pre-procedural patient preparation
•Patient information and informed consent
•Planning the study: complete history, physical
examination, ECG, Xray, Lab (renal function,
electrolytes, CBC, blood typing), echo
•Premedication, sedation, anesthesia:
–No solid food for 8 hours
–No Milk/infant formula for 6 hours
–No breast milk for 4 hours
–No clear fluid for 2 hours
MossandAdam’sheartdiseaseininfants,children,and
adolescentsincludingthefetusandyoungadult.9thed.2016
Pre-procedural patient preparation•Iv line (preferably in an upper extremity) -> fluid maintenance!! Extremely important especially in neonates
•Local anesthesia: lidocaine (not exceed 6mg/kgBB), use small needle
•Sedation and analgesia: fentanyl, midazolam, ketamine, and propofol -> avoid propofol in low EF
•Use heating blankets -> children are prone to hypothermia!
•During general anesthesia/during procedure, monitor: HR, BP, SaO2, temp, ECG
MossandAdam’sheartdiseaseininfants,children,and
adolescentsincludingthefetusandyoungadult.9thed.2016
Vascular access
•Femoral artery &
vein
•Most commonly used
in all diagnostic
cardiac cath
•Internal jugular vein /
subclavian vein
•Used in patients with
BCPS/LA isomerism
•Radial artery
•Used in interrupted
aortic arch/severe
coarctatioao

•Direct MPA2 or JR

or FEVR
•More

Hemodynamic Data
•Data accuracy affected by oxygenation,
ventilation, heart rate, and blood pressure
•Diagnostic:
Begins with assessment of initial arterial blood
pressure,venousfilling pressures, and measurement of O2
saturation in SVC and artery femoral
Detection of shunts and quantifying resistance
Saturation sampling (any step up?) and pressure data (assess
pulmonary and systemic flows, resistance, and flow ratio)
MossandAdam’sheartdiseaseininfants,children,and
adolescentsincludingthefetusandyoungadult.9thed.2016
Pressure Measurements
•Measured using fluid-filled catheters connected
to pressure-sensitive transducers
•Converted into electrical signal —> waveform
over time on monitor (peak = systolic; trough =
diastolic; mean = electronic damping of signal
over cardiac cycles)
