The Impact of Congenital Cardiovascular Malformations on the Assessment and Surgical Management of Infants with Cleft Lip and/or Palate

Abstract: Even in the absence of a murmur, echocardiographic screening should be considered in infants with nonspecific signs of cardiovascular disease. Greater awareness of the guidelines for SBE prophylaxis is needed. Most cleft patients with a cardiovascular malformation do not require cardiac surgery and do not experience an increased rate of complications associated with cleft surgery.

“…23 Anemia in CL/P patients is attributed mainly to feeding difficulty, while respiratory problems are frequently associated with irritation of the nasal and respiratory cavities by food and saliva, which also predisposes to recurrent infections. The frequency of cardiovascular malformations found by Harry et al 24 in 10% of CL/Ps cases was similar to that of the present study. Cardiac anomalies are associated with the common development of both palate and heart between 5 and 9 weeks of gestation as part of cardiac and craniofacial development, which relies on complex signaling processes among interdependent embryonic tissues.…”

“…Cardiac anomalies are associated with the common development of both palate and heart between 5 and 9 weeks of gestation as part of cardiac and craniofacial development, which relies on complex signaling processes among interdependent embryonic tissues. 24 Other complications commonly seen in CL/P patients are related to neuropsychomotor development. We observed concomitant motor, speech, and behavioral delay, followed by speech delay only.…”

“…There is a high incidence of associated congenital heart disease in children undergoing cleft lip and palate surgery. [ 18 19 ] The hemodynamic responses to adrenaline infiltration can be potentially hazardous in these children as it can alter the shunt fraction. The results of this study may guide the choice of anesthetic agents during adrenaline infiltration.…”

“…Greater awareness of the guidelines for SBE prophylaxis is needed. Most cleft patients with a cardiovascular malformation do not require cardiac surgery and do not experience an increased rate of complications associated with cleft surgery [15]. During pre and postoperative care nurses who work continuously and closely with the patients should have knowledge, experience and ability to take excellent care of their patients and families.…”
