Abstract

Atrial septal defects and ventricular septal defects are often encountered in patients presenting for treatment under anesthesia. The flow mechanisms for both defects are predominantly left to right shunting prior to long-term maladaptive changes that may occur. Close examination of the shunt dynamics demonstrates a minor right to left shunt that occurs as well. The article discusses these dynamics and the impact on an anesthetic plan.
