Question:
Answers:
next time pls add details huh.
pulmonary valve? what scenario?
*bicuspid?
*dysplastic?
is the patient cyanotic?
tip for you:
*Laboratory evaluation usually is not helpful.
*Oximetry provides information on possible right-to-left shunting in borderline cyanotic lesions or in patients with anemia but does not identify the cause of the shunt (pulmonary, interatrial, interventricular, great arterial).
*Although arterial blood gases (ABG) analysis usually is not needed, one notable exception is the hyperoxia test in newborns with cyanosis of undetermined origin.
*Administered 100% FIO2 generally does not increase the partial pressure of oxygen to levels much greater than 100 mm Hg in patients with a cyanotic congenital heart defect.
my point: surgical operation required. go see your doc.
