Abstract

The management of an infant who underwent corrective surgery for a supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage, which was complicated by the development of pulmonary hemorrhage while separating from cardiopulmonary bypass, is presented. Initiation of high-frequency oscillatory ventilation was effective in weaning the patient off cardiopulmonary bypass.

Keywords: Cardiac surgery; High frequency oscillatory ventilation; Pulmonary hemorrhage; Total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage.
