146
Q

Surgical Management for ToF

A

Trend is early repair

Initial palliation surgery sometimes performed- Appoach is Thoracotomy, but can be sternotomy…with no CPB.

147
Q

Anesthetic Goals for TOF

A

Maintain intravascular volume and SVR.

Avoid Increased PVR, especially from acidosis and excessive AW pressures. Ketamine is often used.

148
Q

Postoperative Course for ToF

A

Potential for pulmonary reguritation
PFO sometimes left open as a “pop-up” valve to reduce RV pressures
