Once tetralogy of Fallot is diagnosed, the immediate management focuses on determining whether the child’s oxygen levels are in a safe range. If oxygen levels are critically low soon after birth, a prostaglandin infusion is usually initiated to keep the ductus arteriosus open which will provide additional pulmonary blood flow and increase the child’s oxygen level.
