The Pediatric Cardiac Postoperative Handbook is a practical postoperative manual. It comprises evidence-based literature which also carries daily experience from one of the major centers in pediatric cardiac critical care of São Paulo and Latin America. BP Hospital / Beneficência Portuguesa of São Paulo receives many patients from all over Brazil and performs nearly 400 pediatric cardiac surgeries per year. This publication is destined to attending physicians, fellows, residents, medical students and all multidisciplinary teams involved in pediatric cardiac postoperative care. Discussion is focused on early pediatric cardiac postoperative care. From the surgery to patient’s transference to the ward, which involve drugs, nutrition, ventilation, and frequent complications. We also enhance the most recent advances in the field and, in spite of the limitation to summarize this complex topic, we have tried to be brief and concise. We hope this manual may fulfill the necessities of postoperative care providers and improve the care and outcomes of our patients.

Reviews

“Postoperative care of children with heart disease is a complex endeavor with plenty of opportunities for mishaps. Clinical teams taking care of these patients are usually comprised of physicians and nurses with very diverse background and experience. This Pediatric Cardiac Postoperative Handbook addresses the need to provide a concise and practical text for quick reference while at the same time covering the wide palette of issues a provider confronts while taking care of these patients. An ample range of topics is covered, from basic concepts of cardiopulmonary bypass and the resulting systemic response to specific postoperative management of patients with biventricular and single ventricle defects. We believe it will be a much valued resource for novel and experienced clinical providers in the pediatric CICU in the international setting. Dr. Torres Pacheco and the distinguished team at Hospital Beneficencia Portuguesa should be commended for this fantastic achievement.” – Ricardo Munoz, MD, FAAP, FCCM, FACC, Chief, Division of Cardiac Critical Care Medicine, Co-Director, Children’s National Heart Institute, Children’s National Hospital and Alejandro Lopez-Magallon, MD, Senior Cardiologist, Division of Cardiac Critical Care Medicine, Children’s National Hospital.
