Severe Cyanosis in a Toddler
A 15-month-old boy presented to the emergency department for evaluation of irritability and shortness of breath. Upon initial presentation, he was notably cyanotic with an oxygen saturation of 75%, which dropped precipitously to 15% with oxygen administration and agitation. He also had a short, harsh, III/VI early systolic ejection murmur loudest at the left sternal border that terminated mid-systole and prominent digital clubbing. The patient was calmed by parental soothing and intravenous medication.
