Ambulatory Anesthesia in an Adult Patient with Corrected Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome

Ambulatory Anesthesia in an Adult Patient with Corrected Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome

With recent advancements in clinical science, an increasing number of patients with congenital heart defects are surviving into adulthood and presenting for noncardiac surgeries. We describe one such example of a 26-year-old patient with corrected hypoplastic left heart syndrome presenting for knee...

We describe one such example of a 26-year-old patient with corrected hypoplastic left heart syndrome presenting for knee arthroscopy and performed under general anesthesia with preoperative ultrasound guided saphenous nerve block. In this case, we review the anesthetic implications of corrected single ventricle physiology, anesthetic implications, as well as discuss the technique and role of saphenous nerve block in patients undergoing knee arthroscopy.http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2012/607140
