Single ventricle CHD affects about 5 out of 100,000 newborns, resulting in complex anatomy often requiring multiple, staged palliative surgeries. Paediatricians are an essential part of the team that cares for children with single ventricle CHD. These patients often encounter their paediatrician first when a complication arises, so it is critical to ensure the paediatrician is knowledgeable of these issues to provide optimal care.

We reviewed the subtypes of single ventricle heart disease and the various palliative surgeries these patients undergo. We then searched the literature to detail the general paediatrician’s approach to single ventricle patients at different stages of surgical palliation.

Single ventricle patients undergo staged palliation that drastically changes physiology after each intervention. Coordinated care between their paediatrician and cardiologist is requisite to provide excellent care. This review highlights what to expect when these patients are seen by their paediatrician for either well child visits or additional visits for parental or patient concern.

单心室冠心病影响约 100,000 名新生儿中的 5 名，导致复杂的解剖结构通常需要多次分期姑息手术。儿科医生是照顾单心室先心病患儿团队的重要组成部分。这些患者通常在出现并发症时首先会见儿科医生，因此确保儿科医生了解这些问题以提供最佳护理至关重要。

我们回顾了单心室心脏病的亚型以及这些患者接受的各种姑息性手术。然后，我们检索了文献，详细介绍了普通儿科医生对处于手术姑息不同阶段的单心室患者的治疗方法。

单心室患者接受阶段性姑息治疗，每次干预后都会发生巨大的生理变化。他们的儿科医生和心脏病专家之间的协调护理是提供优质护理的必要条件。这篇综述强调了当这些患者被他们的儿科医生看诊以进行健康儿童就诊或因父母或患者关注而额外就诊时会发生什么。
