The request
“Create a neonatal cardiac emergency-transfer flowchart for suspected coarctation: perform a two-dimensional echocardiogram, complete evaluation for another diagnosis when it is not confirmed, and when it is confirmed initiate prostaglandin E1, contact a pediatric cardiac center, arrange emergent transport, and admit to neonatal intensive care.”
Then tryAdd a stabilization checklist before transport.Change the transfer step to notify the receiving family liaison.
What is in this drawing
Read the decisions behind it.
01
Echocardiogram confirms coarctation?
02
Initiate prostaglandin E1 if confirmed
03
Arrange emergent transfer to cardiac center
Use this pathway when a neonate shows signs of aortic coarctation in the postnatal period to guide immediate management and transfer.
