Background
- Most common cyanotic CHD manifesting in postinfancy period
- Tetralogy:
- VSD
- RV outflow obstruction (pulmonic stenosis)
- Overriding aorta
- RV hypertrophy
Diagnosis
- Cyanosis
- Systolic thrill/ejection murmur, loud S2
Work-Up
DDx
Treatment
- Place in knee-chest position
- Increases SVR > more blood into pulm ciruclation
- Morphine IV
- Mechanism of action unclear
- Fluids IV
- Improves RV filling
- Beta blockers IV
- Relaxtion of RVOT
- Phenylephrine
- Similar to knee-chest position
Disposition
