title: Hypoplastic left heart syndrome repair. Preventing complications.
abstract: Hypoplastic left heart syndrome presents a special challenge for the neonatal/pediatric critical care nurse. The nurse plays a vital role in preventing the complications that may arise from the syndrome itself or the surgical repair. Here, the authors describe how to prevent complications following first stage palliation of hypoplastic left heart syndrome.
