We are presenting a case of a 10 year-old boy with a history of repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) undergoing a cardiac catheterization for recurrent left pulmonary artery (LPA) stenosis
End tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) monitoring using capnography is a standard of care in anesthesia and essential for patient safety [1]
We present a case of an unusual capnogram waveform that was detected during a diagnostic and therapeutic cardiac catheterization in a pediatric patient with history of Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair with transannular patch and left pulmonary artery (LPA) patch
Summary
End tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) monitoring using capnography is a standard of care in anesthesia and essential for patient safety [1]. We present a case of an unusual capnogram waveform that was detected during a diagnostic and therapeutic cardiac catheterization in a pediatric patient with history of Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair with transannular patch and left pulmonary artery (LPA) patch. A 10 year-old male with a history of TOF repaired with transannular patch and LPA patch augmentation, presented for diagnostic cardiac catheterization and intervention. He had multiple interventions in the past for recurrent LPA stenosis. The patient was extubated in catheterization lab without any complications with uneventful subsequent hospital course
