[Verse 1]
The surgery is done, the heart's been repaired
But now two ventricles face changes they've never shared
Right ventricle pumps through a conduit with resistance
Left ventricle works alone, needs some assistance
The RV used to flow through truncus so free
Now faces higher pressure, works harder you see
The LV shared workload through that VSD hole
Now bears systemic pressure, takes full control
[Chorus]
Post-op heart needs time to adapt and heal
Dopamine strength, Levosimendan feel
Furosemide flows the fluid away
Asparkam replaces what diuretics take
Cefuroxime protects, Aspirin prevents clots
Six medications working, connecting the dots
[Verse 2]
Both chambers are stunned from bypass machine
Surgical manipulation leaves them not quite clean
The hemodynamics shifted, circulation's new
Recovery takes time for these changes to get through
Seven days later we echo and see
Left ventricular function dropped to fifty-three
From seventy percent before the repair
Post-bypass depression, but we knew it'd be there
[Chorus]
Post-op heart needs time to adapt and heal
Dopamine strength, Levosimendan feel
Furosemide flows the fluid away
Asparkam replaces what diuretics take
Cefuroxime protects, Aspirin prevents clots
Six medications working, connecting the dots
[Bridge]
Right ventricle's working, conduit gradient thirty
VSD residual tiny, nothing too dirty
PA branches measure four point five millimeters
All the numbers looking good on our recovery meters
[Verse 3]
Calcium sensitizer helps the heart squeeze tight
Without more oxygen demand, keeps energy light
Loop diuretics manage all that excess fluid
Potassium magnesium keeps rhythms not putrid
Prophylactic antibiotics guard against infection
Antiplatelet therapy gives prosthetic protection
This immediate post-op phase requires careful monitoring
Each medication chosen for specific conditioning
[Outro]
From single vessel truncus to separated flow
The heart learns new patterns, recovery's slow
But with proper support through this critical time
Two ventricle circulation will work just fine
