Fetal vs. Infant Circulation
• Fetal
• Low pressure system
• Right to left shunting
• Lungs non-functional
• Increased pulmonary
resistance
• Decreased systemic
resistance
• Infant
• High pressure system
• Left to right blood flow
• Lungs functional
• Decreased pulmonary
resistance
• Increased systemic
resistance
Approach to Critical
Congenital Heart
Disease (CCHD)
Classification of CCHD
• Ductal dependent for pulmonary blood flow
• Ductal dependent for systemic blood flow
• Ductal dependent for blood mixed
• Total anomalous pulmonary venous return with
obstruction
Clinical Presentation in
CCHD
• Can be asymptomatic in newborn period
• Tachypnea
o Many other etiologies
• Absent or weak femoral pulses
o Only occurs after the PDA has closed
• Murmur
o Occur in up to 77% of newborns, often not pathologic
o Some CCHD lesions do not have murmurs
o Some forms of CCHD do not have murmur until pulmonary
vascular resistance falls
• Cyanosis from hypoxia
• Shock
Clinical Presentation in
CCHD
Clinical
• Ductal dependent for
pulmonary blood flow
• Ductal dependent for blood
mixed
• Total anomalous pulmonary
venous return with obstruction
• Cyanosis from hypoxia
• + Tachypnea, heart murmur
• Ductal dependent for systemic
blood flow
• Shock
• Absent or weak femoral pulses
(PDA closed)
• + Tachypnea, cyanosis, heart
murmur
Cyanosis
• Visual recognition of hypoxia – not easily detected
• Dependent on hemoglobin levels
• Central cyanosis : deoxygenated Hb ≥ 5𝑔/𝑑𝑙
• Peripheral cyanosis : poor perfusion
• Differential cyanosis : preductal SpO2 > postductal
SpO2
• Reversed-differential cyanosis : postductal SpO2 >
preductal SpO2
Cyanosis in Newborn
• Heart : CCHD
• Lungs
o Parenchyma : MAS, RDS, pneumonia, atelectasis etc.
o Airway : choanal atresia, Tracheal stenosis, etc.
o Extrinsic lung compression : pneumothorax, pleural effusion,
diaphragmatic hernia, etc.
o Hypoventilation : CNS/neuromuscular disease, sedation,
sepsis etc.
• PPHN
• Abnormal hemoglobin : methemoglobinemia
• Metabolic : hypothermia, hypoglycemia, neonatal
sepsis (poor tissue perfusion)
Initial Evaluation and
Management
• ABC : airway, breathing and circulation
• Oxygen supplement : keep SpO2 75-85%
• PGE1
• Pre and postductal SpO2
o Differential cyanosis (preductal SpO2 > postductal SpO2) :
PPHN, severe coarctation of aorta with PDA
o Reverse differential cyanosis (postductal SpO2 > preductal
SpO2) : D-TGA with pulmonary hypertension, D-TGA with
coarctation of aorta

Pulse Oximetry for CCHD
(CCHD Screening)
• Pulse oximetry can identify hypoxemia that is not
visible clinically
• Hypoxemia occurs in many forms of CHD
• Can also identify differences in pre and post ductal
saturations
• Pulse oximetry is quick, easy, and safe
Primary Targets for
Screening
• Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome
• Pulmonary Atresia
• Tetrology of Fallot
• Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return
• Transposition of Great Arteries
• Tricuspid Atresia
• Truncus Arteriosus
Routine Pulse Oximetry
Screening
PROS CONS
• Earlier detection of
CHD, earlier treatment
• Decrease in mortality
• Detection of other
conditions (PPHN, PNX,
PNA, early sepsis)
• Low risk of harm, non-
invasive
• Cost?
• False reassurance if
negative screen
• False Positives
• Parental and staff
anxiety
• Elevated use of
healthcare
• Cost?

• Complications of PGE1:
o Apnea : direct effect of PGE1 on the CNS
• Need assisted ventilation immediately after PGE1 has been
started

output
• continuous measurement of arterial blood pressure
o Fever
o Irritability, abnormal EEG and seizures

Ductal Dependent
“Systemic Blood Flow”
Ductal Dependent
Systemic Blood Flow
• Critically obstructed systemic circulation
• Neonate who present with signs of poor systemic
circulation need to be rapidly evaluation and
categorized as having CHD or other diagnosis such
as sepsis or metabolic disease
• Neonate with congenital obstructive left heart
syndrome or left ventricular outflow tract will usually
present in the first few weeks of life as their ductal
dependent systemic circulation become
compromised with the closure of the PDA
Ductal Dependent
Systemic Blood Flow
• Finding in neonates with cardiogenic shock
o Tachycardia
o Hypotension
o Diaphoresis
o Poor perfusion (dusky, mottled)
o Oliguria
o Acidosis
Management
• Maintain an airway (they can quickly tire and
apnea)
• Place the patient on oxygen and cardio-pulmonary
monitoring (be sure to have a bag valve mask and
oxygen already flowing)
• Vital signs should include pre & post ductal pulse
oximetry and blood pressure
• Immediate two IV/IO access points
Management
• When concerned about cardiogenic shock only 10
mL/kg of crystalloid should be initially be given
• EKG and portable CXR should be done as soon as
possible
• Bedside initial lab : glucose, CBC, basic metabolic
panel, blood culture and ABG
• Hyperoxia test
Management
• Neonate who thought to have a ductal dependent
lesion is to immediately start an infusion of PGE1 to
re-open/maintain the ductus 0.05-0.1 mcg/kg/min
IV route
o Major side effect is apnea
• If not impossible to immediately rule out septic
shock, antibiotics should be given as soon as
possible. With plan LP as soon as the pt. is stabilized
• Consult pediatric cardiologist and echocardiogram
Differential Diagnosis
• Aortic stenosis
• Coarctation of the aorta

• Surgical if cannot or fail cardiac cath
Cardiac
catheterization
and balloon aortic
valvuloplasty
Indication for Balloon aortic valvuloplasty
1. critical AS in neonate
2. peak gradient > 60 mmHg
3. Symptoms (angina,
syncope, and/or dyspnea on
exertion) and a transvalvular peak-
to-peak aortic valve gradient at
catheterization greater than 50
mmHg
Treatment
• Supravalvular AS and subvalvular AS : only surgery
• Valvular AS :
o Normal size of aortic annulus : open aortic valvulotomy
under inflow occlusion or under cardiopulmonary bypass
o Small aortic annulus : Ross-Konno or Ross’s operation
• Supravalvular AS :
o Dilate ascending aorta under cardiopulmonary bypass
• Subvalvular AS :
o Myectomy

• No real impact prior

• Due to a migration of

muscle cells into the
periductal aorta with
subsequent
constriction and
narrowing of the

    Lung bud Intraparenchymal pulmonary v. เชื่อมกับ commonpulmonary v. (ยื่นจาก LA) • Splanchnic plexus  lung bud • Venous drainage : Umbilico - vitelline & cardinal venous system Pulmonary vascular bed • Pulmonary plexus & splanchnic plexus obliterate • Pulmonary venous drainage ต่อกับ common pulmonary vein Common pulmonary vein รวมกับ LA  Pulmonary vein เทเข้า posterior wall ของ LA TAPVR Cor triatrium

    Signs & Symptoms •TAPVR without pulmonary venous obstruction o แรกคลอดเหมือนปกติ แต่ SpO2 90% o 3-6 month : เขียว หายใจเร็วแรง น้าหนักขึ้นน้อย ติดเชื้อทางเดินหายใจบ่อยๆ o Mild cyanosis, undernourished, tachypnea, dyspnea o Tachycardia bulging precordium with palpable right ventricular impulse o Widely fixed split S2 , louder S2P, SEM gr 2-3/6 at LUSB, S3 gallop + diastolic rumbling murmur at LLSB o hepatomegary

    Signs & Symptoms •TAPVR with pulmonary venous obstruction o เขียว หายใจเหนื่อยเมื่อแรกคลอด o Moderate - severe cyanosis, tachypnea with retraction o Lungs: crepitation o Loud S2P ± murmur (Systolic murmur at LSB) o Hepatomegaly

    CXR • TAPVR without pulmonaryvenous obstruction o Cardiomegaly o Increased PVM

    EKG • TAPVR withoutpulmonary venous obstruction o RVH : rSR’/ tall R in right chest lead o RAE • TAPVR with pulmonary venous obstruction o RVH : T upright in V4R, V1/ tall R in right chest lead

    Echocardiogram • RAE • RVH •Atrial septum โป่งไปทาง LA • ไม่พบ pulmonary vein เทเข้า LA แต่เทเข้า SVC/IVC/Coronary sinus • Right to left flow ผ่าน PFO • Pulmonary venous confluence ผ่านเข้า systemic vein
  • 168.
    Treatment • Medical treatment: ควบคุม heart failure o TAPVR without PVO : digitalis, diuretic o TAPVR with PVO, pulmonary edema : ETT on ventilator ให้ O2, PEEP • Surgical treatment o เชื่อม pulmonary vein & LA โดยให้ anastomosis กว้างที่สุด o TAPVR with PVO : ควรผ่าอย่างรีบด่วน o TAPVR without PVO : ผ่าเมื่อผู้ป่วยพร้อม ทิ้งไว้นานจะ heart fail รุนแรงขึ้น
