• Bluish discoloration of skin and mucous
membranes
• Hb 15 cyanosis at 75-80%
• Hb 20 cyanosis at 80-85%
• Hb 6 cyanosis at 45-50%
• patient whose hemoglobin content is 15 g/dL
(hematocrit approximately 45%) would not
generate 5 g/dL of reduced (ie, deoxygenated)
hemoglobin in the capillaries until his/her
SaO2 level reached about 85% (PaO2 50 mm Hg).
• Airway obstruction,pneumonia,massive
pulmonary embolism, pulmonary
edema,chronic airflow obstruction

• Cyanosis + clubbing
Severe, long duration

•Severe Cyanosis PaO2 ≤ 40 mmHg
• Decreased pulmonary blood flow
• Tricuspid atresia, intact
ventricular septum
• Pulmonary atresia (with or
without other lesion)
• Critical pulmonary stenosis
• Ebstein’s anomaly
• Tetralogy of Fallot*
• Chest X-Ray
Decreased pulmonary vascular markings

Fallot
•MIXING LESIONS PaO2 > 40 and ≤ 100 mmHg
•Clinical Characteristics
• Transposition/ VSD
• Total anomalous
pulmonary venous return
• Truncus arteriosus
Maladaptation due
to acute injury
Developmental Chronic injury Malform-
(commonest) e.g.
immaturity with vascular ation
Sepsis, Meconium
aspiration synd., remodeling
asphyxia
Primary lung disease
• RDS, pneumonia, hypoplasia, CCAM, lymphangectasia,
lobar
• Emphysema
• Pulmonary hypertension
• Meconium aspiration, pneumothorax, RDS, sepsis,
pneumonia
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
Seizure, meningitis, encephalitis, severe
IVH, subdural or subarachnoid
hemorrhage,
• Severe hypermagnesemia
• Shock
• Sepsis, hypovolemia, adrenal crisis
• Severe hypoglycemia (IDM, SGA babies)
• Congenital neuromuscular condition
(Werdnig-Hoffman)
• - METHEMOGLOBINEMIA
Newborn Presentation of CHD
• Cyanosis
- Usually minimal symptoms
- First 24-72 hours of life
- Duct-dependent pulmonary
blood flow
• CHF/Circulatory Collapse/Shock
- First 2 weeks of life
- Ductal-dependent systemic
blood flow
• Secondary end-organ dysfunction
- Heart, Brain, Kidneys, GI
Evaluation of the Cyanotic Neonate
• Detecting cyanosis:
• ambient lighting
• skin color
• hemoglobin
• if Hg is 20 gm/dl; 4 gm desaturated-visible cyanosis
• if Hg is 10 gm/dl; 2 gm desaturated-not cyanotic
• Check Saturation
1. DANGERS: Pulmonary
overcirculation
Closing the PDA
Death
Pulse Oximetry
• Normal/increased pulmonary
vascular markings with
intracardiac mixing of pulmonary
and systemic venous return
d-TGA CXR: “egg on a string”
• Narrow mediastinum
due to anterior-
posterior orientation
of great arteries and
small thymus
• Cardiomegaly is
present w/ increased
pulmonary vascular
markings
Tetralogy of Fallot - CXR
• Typical “boot-
shaped” heart
secondary to RVH
and small main
pulmonary artery
segment
•Pulmonary
vascular markings
are decreased
Supracardiac TAPVC - CXR

dilated vertical
vein, innominate
vein and right

• ABC’s
• Oxygen (judicial) to saturations of 80-85%
• Place umbilical lines
• PGE (0.025-0.1 micrograms/Kg/min)
• History
• Complete physical with four extremity BP’s
• Pre and post-ductal oxygen saturations
• Hyperoxia test
• CXR
• EKG
• Echocardiogram
Suspected CHD: Initial Evaluation and
Management
• Pre and post-ductal oxygen saturations
• If pre-ductal sat higher than post-ductal sat
(differential cyanosis)
• Left heart abnormalities (such as aortic arch
hypoplasia, critical aortic stenosis,
interrupted aortic arch)
• Persistent pulmonary hypertension
• If post-ductal sat higher than pre-ductal
(reverse differential cyanosis)
• TGA with CoA or TGA with IAA
• TGA with supersystemic pulmonary vascular
resistance
