In ToF; __-Adrenergic blockade has also been used to abort spells
Beta; Propanolol 0.1mg/kg given slowly to a max of 0.2/kg
35
In ToF; Chronically SaO2<70 may lead to…
Growth and development delay

39
In ToF; The ECG shows:
Right axis deviation and RVH
40
In ToF; Prefered method of Dx:
2D echocardiography with doppler; also useful in determining PDA role in pulmonary flow
41
In ToF; During catheterization shows a SO2 of 75-85% in…

Absence of a branch pulmonary artery should be suspected; most often to the left
47
In ToF; Can be associated with ___ syndrome
DiGeorge; CATCH 22 (Cardiac def; Abnormal facies; Thymic hypoplasia; Cleft palate; HypoCa; deletion of chrom 22

True; 0.5-1mg/kg 6/6h; reduces frequency and severity of spells
53
In ToF; Infants with severe cyanosis have 2 Cx options:
Corrective open heart surgery; Palliative shunts (Blalock-Taussig shunt)
54
In ToF; infants with mild to moderate cyanosis can perform Cx electively at…
4-6mo if adequate growth and lack of spells
55
In ToF; Corrective Cx consist of…
Resecting obstructive muscle bundles and closure of VSD
56
In ToF; Blalock-Taussig shunt is performed to…
Augment pulmonary artery blood flow by systemic-to-pulmonary artery shunt
57
In ToF; Blalock-Taussig shunt consists of…
