Open Heart Surgery below 6 month
Infants are sometimes born with various heart conditions that are either minor or major. Most healthcare facilities often suggest waiting until the baby is older before conducting an open heart surgical operation. However, the longer the child waits, the more susceptible they become to other health problems. Open heart surgery below 6 months is thus essential as it gives the newborns the best possible beginning in life.
Open heart surgery is the surgical procedure that surgeons conduct on the heart. It involves the placement of the heart-lung bypass machine to take charge of lungs and heart functions. This includes supplying oxygenated blood throughout the body.
