Although complex congenital heart disease (CHD) patients usually present in childhood, it is not rare to see adults well past middle age. These patients undergo continuous pathophysiological changes in their heart and blood vessels, making anesthetic management more challenging if surgery is required. Herein, we report a case in which understanding the anatomy and pathophysiology helped optimally manage a patient with a double outlet right ventricle (DORV) who underwent plating and fixation for a hangman's fracture in the prone position.
尽管复杂先天性心脏病(CHD)患者通常在儿童期出现,但在中老年时也不罕见。这些患者的心脏和血管会持续发生病理生理变化,如果需要手术,麻醉管理就更具挑战性。在此,我们报告了一例患者,通过了解解剖结构和病理生理学知识,我们成功地为一名右心室双出口(DORV)患者实施了仰卧位下寰枢椎后路板钉固定术。
