Kelainan jantung kongenital dan sistem kardiovaskular terjadi pada 7 sampai 10 per 1.000 kelahiran hidup (0,7%–1,0%). Penyakit jantung kongenital adalah bentuk penyakit bawaan yang paling umum dan sekitar 30% dari semua kejadian penyakit bawaan. Cacat jantung kongenital yang paling sering terabaikan pada masa kanak-kanak adalah Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) sekundum. Resiko operasi non-jantung akan meningkat jika ditemukan gagal jantung, hipertensi pulmonal dan sianosis. Dilaporkan kasus primigravida berumur 33 tahun, dengan usia kehamilan 32–34 minggu yang menjalani seksio sesarea. Pada pemeriksaan fisik didapatkan nadi 100 x/menit (reguler), tekanan darah 115/74 mmHg, saturasi oksigen 90-94% dengan suplemen oksigen 10 L/menit, edema pada kedua tungkai, tekanan vena jugular (JVP) tidak meningkat. Hasil laboratorium dalam batas normal. Hasil echocardiografi menunjukkan adanya ASD sekundum (berdiameter 2–3 cm), bidirectional shunt dominan kanan ke kiri (sindroma Eisenmenger), regurgitasi trikuspid, hipertensi pulmonal berat dengan perkiraan tekanan sistolik ventrikel kanan 109 mmHg dan ejeksi sistolik ventrikel kiri 67%. Teknik anestesi yang digunakan adalah anestesi epidural. Dilakukan pemasangan kateter vena sentral untuk memantau tekanan vena sentral. Regimen epidural yang digunakan adalah bupivacaine plain 0,3% dan fentanyl 50 mcg total volume 15 ml dengan teknik titrasi. Selama seksio sesarea, tekanan darah stabil, detak jantung dan saturasi oksigen baik. Pasien dipantau di ruang pemulihan selama 1 jam dan kemudian dipindahkan ke ICU dan dipulangkan pada hari ke 10 pasca operasi. Kesimpulan, pasien dengan ASD dan hipertensi pulmonal yang menjalani seksio sesarea dapat dilakukan anestesi epidural dengan teknik titrasi.   Atrial Septal Defect with Severe Pulmonary Hypertension was Scheduled for Cesarean Section Abstract Congenital abnormalities of the heart and cardiovascular system occur in 7 to 10 per 1,000 of live births (0.7 - 1.0%). Congenital heart disease is the most common form of congenital diseases and amounted to approximately 30% of all incidents of congenital diseases. Congenital heart defects are most often neglected in childhood is secundum atrial septal defect (ASD). The risk for non-cardiac surgery would increase if found heart failure, pulmonary hypertension and cyanosis. A 33-years old primigravida, in labor at 32-34 weeks of gestation who underwent caesarean section under epidural anesthesia. On physical examination pulse was 100 x/min, blood pressure was 115/74 mmHg, oxygen saturation was 90-94% with oxygen supplement 10 L/min, bilateral pitting pedal edema was present. All the laboratory results within normal limits. 2D Echo results osteum secundum ASD (2-3 cm in diameter), bidirectional shunt dominan right to left shunt (Eisenmenger’s syndrome), Tricuspid Regurgitation, Severe Pulmonary Hypertension with an estimated right ventricle systolic pressure of 109 mmHg and left ventricle systolic ejection fraction of 67%. The anesthetic technique was epidural anesthesia. We performed central venous catheter to monitoring central venous pressure. The epidural regimens used were bupivacaine plain 0,3% and fentanyl 50 mcg total volume 15 ml with titration techniques. During cesarean section, patient was stable blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen saturation. Patient was monitored in recovery room for 1 hour and then transferred to ICU and discharged on 10th postoperative day. Conclusion, patients with ASD and severe pulmonary hipertention, we can perform epidural anesthesia with titration techniques.

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is the major pathophysiologic consequence of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). We aimed to evaluate the association between early CDH-associated PH (CDH-PH) and inpatient outcomes. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> The CDH Study Group registry was queried for infants born 2015–2019 with echocardiograms before 48h of life. PH was categorized using echocardiographic findings: none, mild (right ventricular systolic pressure &#x3c;2/3 systemic), moderate (between 2/3 systemic and systemic), or severe (supra-systemic). Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed. Adjusted Poisson regression was used to assess the primary composite outcome of mortality or oxygen support at 30 days. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Of 1,472 patients, 86.5% had CDH-PH: 13.9% mild (<i>n</i> = 193), 44.4% moderate (<i>n</i> = 631), and 33.2% severe (<i>n</i> = 468). On adjusted analysis, the primary outcome of mortality or oxygen support at 30 days occurred more frequently in infants with moderate (incidence rate ratio [IRR] 1.8, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.2–2.6) and severe CDH-PH (IRR 2.0, 95% CI, 1.3–2.9). Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) utilization was associated only with severe CDH-PH after adjustment (IRR 1.8, 95% CI, 1.0–3.3). <b><i>Discussion/Conclusion:</i></b> Early, postnatal CDH-PH is independently associated with increased risk for mortality or oxygen support at 30 days and utilization of ECLS. Early echocardiogram is a valuable prognostic tool for early, inpatient outcomes in neonates with CDH.

Acute right heart failure in chronic precapillary pulmonary hypertension is characterised by a rapidly progressive syndrome with systemic congestion resulting from impaired right ventricular filling and/or reduced right ventricular flow output. This clinical picture results from an imbalance between the afterload imposed on the right ventricle and its adaptation capacity. Acute decompensated pulmonary hypertension is associated with a very poor prognosis in the short term. Despite its major impact on survival, its optimal management remains very challenging for specialised centres, without specific recommendations. Identification of trigger factors, optimisation of fluid volume and pharmacological support to improve right ventricular function and perfusion pressure are the main therapeutic areas to consider in order to improve clinical condition. At the same time, specific management of pulmonary hypertension according to the aetiology is mandatory to reduce right ventricular afterload. Over the past decade, the development of extracorporeal life support in refractory right heart failure combined with urgent transplantation has probably contributed to a significant improvement in survival for selected patients. However, there remains a considerable need for further research in this field.
