Main Article Content
Abstract
Modified Blalock-Taussig Shunt placement (MBTS) is one of the palliative surgeries to enhance pulmonary blood flow in patients with cyanotic congenital heart disease. To prevent and timely treat the specific complications of this operation, skill and knowledge of nurses and caregivers are essential. These complications include acute shunt thrombosis, inadequate pulmonary blood flow, and pulmonary overflow. Nurses can assist and collaborate with attending physicians for the care of the patients, for improvement of survival and quality of life for the patients and their families.
