33 Describe how a left-to-right shunt is detected during
cardiac catheterisation
An intracardiac shunt can be detected and localised by measuring
the oxygen saturation levels of blood samples obtained at different sites, including the SVC, IVC, RA, RV, and PA, with an ‘oximetry run’. An increase in oxygen saturation levels (‘oxygen step-up’) localises
the level of the left-to-right shunt (Figure 18).

up’ is detected in the right atrium, denoting the left-to-right shunt to be at an atrial level; and B) a ventricular septal defect, where the ‘step-up’ is detected in the right ventricle, denoting the left-to-right shunt to be at a ventricular level.

34 How is the Qp/Qs ratio calculated during cardiac
catheterisation?
Cardiac output is calculated using the Fick principle, where:
Flow = O2consumption
Arteriovenous O2concentration difference
Flow = O2consumption
Arteriovenous O2sats difference x Hb x 1.34
Pulmonary flow = O2consumption
(PV O2sats – PA O2sats) x Hb x 1.34
Systemic flow = O2consumption
(Ao O2sats – RA O2sats) x Hb x 1.34)
92
As O pulmonary blood flow to systemic as:
Qp = Ao O2sats – RA O2sats Qs PV O2sats – PA O2sats
In addition, PV O
RA sats = (3 x SVC sats) + (1 x IVC sats)
where PV = pulmonary vein, PA = pulmonary artery, Ao = aorta, RA = right atrium, SVC = superior vena cava, IVC = inferior vena cava, Hb = haemoglobin, sats = oxygen saturation levels.
For example:
If RA sats are 60%, PA sats 80%, PV sats 100%, Ao sats 100%.
Qp = Ao O2sats – RA O2sats = 100 – 60 = 40 = 2 Qs PV O2sats – PA O2sats 100 – 80 20
consumption and Hb are the same in both equations, the
2
sats are usually assumed to be 100%.

blood flow ratio can be expressed
therefore the Qp:Qs is 2:1.
In terms of significance:
a) Qp/Qs <1 indicates a right-to-left shunt;

b) Qp/Qs >1 indicates a left-to-right shunt; c) Qp/Qs >1.5 is considered haemodynamically significant.
35 Describe the relationship between arterial oxygen
saturation and Qp/Qs in patients with total mixing
If Qp = 1:
Qs
Pulmonary blood flow = Systemic blood flow
Pulmonary venous return = Systemic venous return
(1 x 100%) (1 x 60%)
Oxygen saturation = (1 x 100) + (1 x 60)
2
= 160 = 80%
2
If Qp = 4:
Qs
93
Pulmonary blood flow: Systemic blood flow = 4:1
Pulmonary venous return: Systemic venous return = 4:1
(4 x 100%) (1 x 60%)
Oxygen saturation = (4 x 100) + (1 x 60)
5
= 460 = 92%
5
From these calculations, it can be seen that patients with total mixing:
a) are nearly balanced, with a Qp/Qs = 1, when oxygen
saturation is approximately 80%;
b) cannot have oxygen saturations of 100%, even when the
Qp/Qs ratio is very high.
These calculations are based on three assumptions, that:
a) pulmonary venous saturation is nearly 100%, which is not valid
in patients with pneumonia and lung collapse;

b) systemic venous saturation is nearly 60%, which is not valid in
patients with a low cardiac output state;
c) there is total mixing, which is not valid in patients with
intracardiac streaming.
36 What is Eisenmenger syndrome?
Eisenmenger syndrome is defined as an obstructive pulmonary
vascular disease that develops as a consequence of a longstanding large left-to-right shunt causing an irreversible increase in pulmonary vascular resistance that approaches and at times exceeds systemic levels. As a consequence, pulmonary artery pressures can be systemic or
supra-systemic. In patients with supra-systemic pressures, there is shunting from right to left and resultant cyanosis. The likelihood for Eisenmenger syndrome to develop in a patient
depends on the specific underlying cardiac defect and any operative interventions that have taken place. Early development of Eisenmenger syndrome is more commonly
94
associated in patients with persistent truncus arteriosus, common atrioventricular septal defect, VSD, PDA and TGA. Although some patients with ASD develop Eisenmenger syndrome, the cause-effect relationship in this patient cohort is less well established. The high pulmonary vascular resistance is usually established by 2
years of age but sometimes may develop earlier. Eisenmenger syndrome may also develop earlier in patients with
Down’s syndrome. Differential diagnoses for Eisenmenger syndrome include primary
pulmonary hypertension and congenital heart disease with cyanosis and elevated right heart pressures, such as tetralogy of Fallot. The development of Eisenmenger syndrome seems to correlate with
damage to the pulmonary vasculature as a result of longstanding increased tension on the arterial and capillary walls. This reactive adaptation produces an increasing amount of fibrous
perivascular deposits and a reduction in the production of NO. Interstitial changes contribute to the stiffness of the lung parenchyma, which reduces the efficiency of gas exchange and increases vascular resistance. Patients that develop Eisenmenger syndrome initially experience an
improvement of their symptoms of congestive heart failure, as the increasing pulmonary vascular resistance reduces the pulmonary overflow. Ultimately, the pulmonary pressure continues to rise and becomes supra-systemic, resulting in shunt reversal and cyanosis.

Closure of an intracardiac shunt after the development of
Eisenmenger syndrome is associated with RV failure due to the high RV afterload. On chest radiograph, the cardiac shadow decreases in size and lung
fields become oligaemic, whilst the PA shadow remains enlarged (Figure 19).
95
Figure 19. Chest radiograph of a patient with
Eisenmenger syndrome demonstrating a decreased cardiac shadow, oligaemic lung fields and enlarged pulmonary artery shadows.
Echocardiography may show evidence of RV hypertrophy, a non-
dilated LV and a right-to-left shunt across the defect. On cardiac catheterisation, the Qp/Qs ratio is usually <1.5, with the
pulmonary vascular resistance index >8 Wood unit/m2that does not respond to pulmonary vasodilators. The median survival of a patient with Eisenmenger syndrome is 20-
50 years of age.
Key Questions in CONGENITAL CARDIAC SURGERY
The use of novel pulmonary vasodilators may have some benefits in
remodelling the pulmonary vascular bed in the early stages of pulmonary vascular disease.
37 Describe the principles of measuring oxygen
saturation levels
Oxygen saturation levels represents the percentage of haemoglobin
(Hb) binding sites in the blood occupied by oxygen. Normal arterial oxygen saturation levels (SaO2) are 95-100%, while
mixed venous oxygen saturation levels (SvO2) are 65-75%. Oxygen saturation is measured non-invasively by pulse oximetry,
where a sensor device is placed on a thin part of the patient’s body, usually a fingertip or earlobe. The device emits two wavelengths of light through the body part to a photodetector, which measures the changing absorbance at each of the wavelengths, allowing it to determine the absorbance due to the pulsing arterial blood. The accuracy of pulse oximetry is best with oxygen saturation levels
96
of 70-100%, with reduced accuracy in the range of 50-70% and is considered inaccurate below 50%. False pulse oximetry readings can also occur with hypoperfusion,
vasoconstriction, cold limbs, dark-coloured skin, excessive movements (such as shivering) and incorrect sensor application. In addition, false readings can also occur if the haemoglobin binds to
a molecule other than oxygen, such as in carbon monoxide poisoning and methaemoglobinaemia. Blood gas analysis can be used to invasively measure the oxygen
saturation levels, in addition to the other measurements, such as oxygen tension (PO2), pH, PCO2, base deficit, blood lactate and electrolytes.
38 What is cyanosis?
Cyanosis represents a bluish discolouration of the skin and mucous
membranes due to presence of at least 5g/dL of deoxyhaemoglobin. Cyanosis associated with desaturation of arterial blood is termed
central cyanosis, while cyanosis with normal arterial oxygen saturation is termed peripheral cyanosis. Peripheral cyanosis is caused by increased extraction of oxygen by
peripheral tissues, such as in circulatory shock, hypovolaemia or vasoconstriction from cold. Blood haemoglobin levels significantly affect the occurrence of
cyanosis. Normally, 2g/dL of deoxyhaemoglobin are present at the venules, so an additional 3g/dL of deoxyhaemoglobin from arterial blood can produce cyanosis.

In a patient with polycythemia who has an Hb level of 20g/dL, 3g/dL
of deoxyhaemoglobin, cyanosis will be manifest with an oxygen saturation of 85% (20-3 = 17; 17/20 = 0.85). Whilst in an anaemic patient with an Hb level of 6, 3g/dL deoxyhaemoglobin cyanosis will be manifest with oxygen saturation of 50% (6-3 = 3; 3/6 = 0.5). Cyanotic congenital heart diseases (Table 3) are associated with
central cyanosis, caused by deoxygenated blood passing into the systemic circulation. This is due to either a right-to-left shunt (such as tetralogy of Fallot), mixing (such as tricuspid atresia) or parallel systemic and pulmonary circulations (such as TGA).

Obstruction to flow:
• Aortic stenosis
• Pulmonary stenosis
• Coarctation of the aorta
Using the hyperoxia test, which detects the changes of arterial oxygen
tension (PaO2) to 100% oxygen inhalation, allows the differentiation of cyanosis caused by cardiac or pulmonary disease, where:
a) pulmonary causes of cyanosis produce an increase in PaO2to
>100mmHg;
b) cardiac causes of cyanosis only produce a slight rise in PaO
of 10-30mmHg and it does not go above 100mmHg, because of the deoxygenated blood that continues to bypass the lung.

oxygen saturations (percentage of haemoglobin binding to oxygen), which is not linear but rather sigmoid. Above a PO2of 8kPa (60mmHg), changes in the PO2make very little
difference to oxygen saturation levels. Below a PO2of 8kPa (60mmHg), however, a small drop in the PO
produces a large fall in the oxygen saturation levels. The PO2at which 50% of haemoglobin is saturated has been
chosen as the reference point, called P50. The position of the dissociation curve is an expression of the affinity
of haemoglobin for oxygen. Shift of the curve to the left denotes an increased affinity of
haemoglobin to oxygen, where the same oxygen saturation levels occur at a lower PO2and more oxygen is bound to haemoglobin. Shift to the right denotes decreased affinity of haemoglobin to
oxygen. Foetal haemoglobin has a higher affinity to oxygen (shifting of the
curve to the left) to allow better oxygen extraction from the placenta. Factors that causes the curve to be shifted to the right (less affinity
of haemoglobin to oxygen) include low pH, high temperature, high CO2and high levels of 2,3-disphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG). These factors occur at tissue level, so more oxygen is released from haemoglobin to be taken up by the tissues.

41 Describe how oxygen content in blood is calculated
Oxygen content represents the actual amount of oxygen present per
volume of blood. Oxygen is carried in blood either bound to haemoglobin or dissolved
in plasma. Dissolved oxygen accounts for only 2% of the total oxygen content in blood. Dissolved oxygen concentration is rather constant at 0.003mL
O2/100mL blood/mmHg but is dependent on its partial pressure. Thus, with a PO2of 100mmHg, the concentration of dissolved oxygen will increase to 0.3mL O2/100mL. The remaining 98% of the total oxygen content of blood is reversibly
bound to haemoglobin. The oxygen-binding capacity of haemoglobin is the maximum amount
of oxygen that can be bound to haemoglobin per volume of blood. Assuming that haemoglobin is 100% saturated, 1g of haemoglobin can bind 1.34mL oxygen.
