E172: Congenital Heart Defects: Part 2

In this episode, we dive into Congenital Heart Defects Part 2 of 3. In this podcast, we will review truncus arteriosus and Tetralogy of Fallot. Despite these patients often being transported by NICU teams, there are cases of congenital heart defects that have been undiagnosed and something you may encounter on-scene fights that decompensate once the PDA has closed. This places the care in the pre-hospital provider's hands and brings forth a high-stress case that can be overwhelming for most. Couple this with the high quantity of questions seen on all advanced certification exams and it is a must that we review these congenital heart defects. Remember that reviews are key to helping keep us high on the charts where your friends and family can find us. We couldn’t make this podcast without you. Thanks for listening!
