One of the great diagnostic challenges for children with pulmonary arterial hypertension is the need for general anesthesia (GA) to enable successful right heart catheterization. Here, for the first time, we describe how echocardiographic estimates of right ventricular function and pulmonary pressures change in pediatric patients during GA.
对于患有肺动脉高压的儿童来说,最大的诊断挑战之一是需要全身麻醉(GA)才能成功进行右心导管插入术。在此,我们首次描述了小儿患者在全身麻醉期间右心室功能和肺动脉压力的超声心动图评估是如何变化的。
