Complex Cardiac At-Home Monitoring Program (C-CAMP)

The Complex Cardiac At-Home Monitoring Program (C-CAMP) at Johns Hopkins Children's Center provides complementary monitoring and support for high-risk pediatric cardiac patients with needs that stretch across many specialties. This support helps maintain the process of care for your child from the inpatient setting to the outpatient.

For patients with single ventricle, the time between the first operation as a newborn and the second surgery is called the interstage period. During this time, it is essential to ensure adequate growth in the child and closely monitor their oxygen saturations. We believe this also applies to patients with other complex heart disease who are awaiting surgery or intervention.

For more information on C-CAMP, please call 410-955-5987.
