Cyanotic Congenital Cardiac Defects: Diagnosis & Therapy

Explore a comprehensive 47-minute lecture on cyanotic congenital cardiac defects in newborns, delivered by Dr. Thomas Kulik for OPENPediatrics. Delve into the physiological causes of cyanosis, pathophysiology of common cyanotic congenital cardiac defects, diagnostic considerations, and therapeutic management strategies. Cover topics including critical pulmonary stenosis, tetralogy of Fallot, Ebstein's anomaly, transposition of the great arteries, and total anomalous pulmonary venous connection. Learn about ICU therapy, life-threatening hypoxemia management, improving oxygen delivery, and the use of prostaglandins in treating left-sided obstructive lesions.
