Abstract
Paediatric cardiac surgery
uses the bidirectional Glenn (BDG) shunt, also known as Cavo pulmonary
anastomosis which is bidirectional, to temporarily increase blood oxygenation
in individuals with congenital heart defects that result in a single functional
ventricle. The purpose of this study is to report a case of right ventricle
with two outlets, transposition of the great arteries, ventricular septal
defect, and pulmonary stenosis with resolved brain abscess. A 8 yr. old female
complains of tingling sensation over right palm, also had right side weakness
and convulsions which were restricted to right side. After the investigation
and diagnosis of the condition is a known case of congenital heart defects and
was planned for surgical correction. Outcome measures like incentive
spirometry, borg scale, 2 min walk tests were done to evaluate the patient's
recovery. Surgery was successful in treating the issue, but the patient had to
be returned to a life free of symptoms before the pathology. A carefully
planned physical therapy rehabilitation is particularly beneficial for treating
exhaustion and shortness of breath.
