PEDS: Pulmonary Atresia with Intact Ventricular Septum

Today's Episode Charlee reviews chapter 5 from the Pediatric Morning Report book. A girl is born at 35 weeks and 3 days gestation to a 26-year-old mother. Minimal prenatal care was given prior to delivery. She is born under considerable distress and is apneic on delivery. The child is noted to be cyanotic, with pulse oximetry measuring oxygen saturation of 50%. Initial resuscitation efforts are focused on ensuring adequate ventilation, but despite 100% inspired oxygen delivered via endotracheal tube, with evidence of gas exchange via carbon dioxide detector, the oxygen saturation remains at approximately 70%.
