Title: Impact of COVID-19 on congenital heart surgeries & their early outcomes: A single-centre experience in Bangladesh

Abstract

COVID-19 has a significant effect on the global health system. However, there is a paucity of data regarding the impact of COVID-19 on congenital cardiac surgery trends and outcomes in a developing country like Bangladesh. The study's objective was to investigate the impact of COVID-19 on congenital heart surgeries & their early outcomes. A retrospective study was carried out between January 2020 and December 2022 at the Cardiothoracic Surgery Unit of Evercare Hospital Dhaka. One hundred sixty-five patients who underwent congenital cardiac surgeries during the study period were reviewed. Preoperative, operative and postoperative data were analyzed. The outcome of the patients was assessed through discharge or death, heart block, Low Cardiac Output Syndrome (LCOS), prolonged intubation, duration of Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) and hospital stay. The study also finds the influence of COVID-19 on the reduction of congenital cardiac surgical intervention between the pre-COVID-19 and COVID-19 pandemic years. The presenting paper will represent our surgical practice and outcome concerning congenital cardiac surgeries during the COVID-19 pandemic.
