Overview
There are no established measures for the primary prevention of Tetralogy of Fallot.
Primary Prevention
There are no established measures for the primary prevention of Tetralogy of Fallot.
Prevention of Cyanosis
The following factors may reduce systemic vascular resistance (SVR) and exacerbate shunting which in turn exacerbate cyanosis and should be avoided if at all possible:[1]
- Acidosis
- Bathing in hot water
- Fever
- Stress
- Infection
- Posture (upright, not squatting)
- Exercise
- Beta-adrenergic agonists
- Dehydration
- Closure of the patent ductus arteriosus
Prevention of Infective Endocarditis
- Antibiotic prophylaxis should be administered.
