Hypoplastic left-heart syndrome is a common congenital heart defect that carries a mortality rate of 95% in the first month of life if left untreated. In the past, surgical options were not accepted. However, recent success with the Norwood operation as part of a staged reconstructive approach has renewed interest in operative intervention for these critically ill neonates. Assessment of the balance between systemic and pulmonary blood flow is critical to maintain cardiac output and systemic saturation.
左心发育不全综合征是一种常见的先天性心脏缺陷，如果不进行治疗，出生后第一个月的死亡率高达95%。过去，手术治疗方案并不被接受。然而，最近作为分期重建方法一部分的诺伍德手术取得成功，重新激发了人们对这些重症新生儿进行手术干预的兴趣。评估体循环和肺循环血流之间的平衡对于维持心输出量和全身血氧饱和度至关重要。
