Abstract
Although progress has been made in treating hypoplastic left heart syndrome, improvements in perioperative care may further decrease mortality. We present a case in which continuous monitoring of systemic venous oxygen saturation allowed stabilization and successful management of a critically ill infant. Systemic venous oxygen saturation may provide a more accurate representation of a child's clinical status, allowing more rapid intervention and better outcomes.
