Introduction
Neonatal adaptations :
– decrease in pulmonary vascular resistance
– increase in pulmonary blood flow
– hemodynamic adaptations ( stroke volume,
heart rate )
– increase in Qp/Qs
– single ventricle failure ( overload )
Single ventricle physiology
Single ventricle :
– left morphology :
• tricuspid valve atresia 1+ 2
• DILV 1+ 2
• CAVC with right ventricle hypoplasia 1+ 2
• pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum 1± 2
– right morphology :
• mitral valve atresia 1+ 2
• aortic valve atresia 1± 2
• CAVC with left ventricle hypoplasia 1+ 2
1 = pre-operative, 2 = post-operative

Equation 1
SO2 = CO2
Equation 1 + 2 + 3
• Then, 1 + 2 + 3 :
Qp [ SaoO2 - ScvO2 ]
=
Qs [ SpvO2 - SpaO2 ]
Where :
• with complete mixing, aortic oxygen
saturation equals pulmonary artery
saturation
• pulmonary veins saturation can be
estimated to be 96 %
Evaluation of cellular well-being
• SaO2
• SvO2
• ΔA-VO2
• Blood lactate
• Qp/Qs
• Ω = oxygen excess factor
Major causes of mortality after
Norwood operation for HLHS
• Low systemic blood flow due to myocardial
dysfunction
• Low systemic blood flow due to high
pulmonary to systemic blood flow ratio
• Combination of myocardial dysfunction and
high Qp/Qs ratio
