Analysis of Perioperative Respiratory Care Methods and their Application Value in Children with Congenital Heart Disease

Abstract

Objective: To analyze the perioperative respiratory care methods and application value in children with congenital heart disease. Methods: 60 children with congenital heart disease (treated from January 2021 to October 2023) were screened and divided into two groups randomly. Each group consisted of 30 cases. The perioperative routine was used in the control group. The observation group underwent the perioperative routine along with better respiratory care. Oxygenation indicators, surgical complications, and family satisfaction levels of the groups were compared. Results: There was no significant difference in the oxygenation index between the two groups of children at admission (P > 0.05). At discharge, the oxygenation indicators in the observation group were better than those of the control group, and the incidence of surgical complications was lower than that of the control group. The total satisfaction of family members in the observation group was higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: During the perioperative period for children with congenital heart disease, the implementation of respiratory care, which mainly involves symptomatic care, catheter care, sputum suction care, etc., can actively improve the oxygenation indicators, reduce surgical complications, and promote faster and better recovery, of children with congenital heart disease.
