Oxygen content: 1 gm Hb carries approx
1.39ml of O2 if 100% sat.
O2 cont. adult Hb 15gmHb/dl, 100 % sat:
15 x 1.39 x 1(100% sat) x 10 = 208 O2/L.
O2 cont. adult Hb 15gm Hb, pO2 40(70%sat):
15 x 1.39 x .7 x 10 = 146 O2/L blood.
Relevant terms
Newborn O2 content:
20gm Hb, pO2 40(sat 75%)
20 x 1.39 x .75 x 10 = 208ml/L blood
Newborn O2 content:
12gm Hb, pO2 30(sat 60%)
12 x 1.39 x .60 x 10 = 100ml/L blood.

Cyanotic CHD
Cyanosis - means blue blood a sign, not a
diagnosis - requires 5gm/dl reduced Hb.
Cyanosis - peripheral, central, differential.
Causes Cardiac, pulmonary, CNS,
haematological.

TOF
Embryology
Anterior and superior displacement of conus
septum resulting in a nonalignment VSD in
the area of the membranous septum.
TOF - Haemodynamics

TOF - Haemodynamics
R to L shunt increased by a fall in systemic
resistance and an increase in RVOT
obstruction (e g infundibular spasm).
If RVOT obstruction is mild, shunt is L to R
across VSD but ECG shows RVH.
Systemic resistance increases with
squatting, decreases with exercise.

TGA Features
Cyanosis at birth, NB becomes hypoxic and
acidotic.
Cardiac failure in NB period.
When the ductus closes severe hypoxia,
cyanosis and death ensue if there is no other
communication.
