An estimated 30,000 children are born in the USA with congenital heart disease each year, two thirds of which will require corrective surgery. Medical advances have formed a trend of operating on newborns rather than waiting until the child is older. Ten years ago, the mortality for these operationswas 60% to 70%. That percentage has dropped to 2%. This specialized book explores the basic mechanisms of neurologic injury associated with congenital heart surgery while covering the emerging technologies for assessment of neurologic integrity and injury. The text also highlights the current and future techniques for reducing and preventing these injuries, and reviews the pertinent medicolegal issues.

Reviews for Brain Injury and Pediatric Cardiac Surgery

I found this book very interesting and informative. I recommend this book to END technologist who monitor pediatric cardiac patients and who would like to better understand the mechanisms of brain injury to the patient population during surgery... The book raises many questions and provides a great resource for determining what additional studies are required to ensure the most positive post-surgical outcomes. -- American Journal of Electroneurodiagnostic Technol
