Treatment Of Postoperative Atelectasis With Dornase Alpha (Pulmozyme®) After Congenital Heart Surgery
Journal Title: Medical Science and Discovery - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
One year old patient followed with tetralogy of fallot (TOF) was admitted to our service for surgical repair. Ventricular septal defect (VSD) was repaired with a Dacron patch. The infundibular muscle was resected to allow for unobstructed flow of blood to the pulmonary valve and the area above the pulmonary valve was opened with a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) patch. The patient was intubated three times bacause of the atelectasis ocurred in the lungs after the surgery. Atelectasis was treated with nebulised dornase alpha. It avoided the recurrence of atelectasis and the patient was discharged.
