Abstract

A male newborn born in a private hospital with undiagnosed interrupted aortic arch presented with circulatory collapse on day 2 is reported. The neonatal emergency transport team (NET) used intravenous Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) infusion at the referring hospital for suspected systemic ductus dependent congenital heart disease. He responded with improved circulation and was safely transported to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

一名生於私立醫院的男嬰，患有未確診的主動脈弓離斷，生後第二天出現循環衰竭。新生兒緊急轉運隊伍到達該院後，考慮該患兒所患病為導管依賴型的先天性心臟病，因此使用前列腺素 E2(PGE2)持續靜脈注射。患兒循環衰竭得到改善，被安全地送達伊利沙伯醫院的新生兒重症監護病房。
