METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING TOTAL ANOMALOUS DRAINAGE OF PULMONARY VEINS IN NEWBORNS

摘要

A method for diagnosing the total anomalous drainage of the pulmonary veins in the newborns provides for the computed tomography with contrasting of the vascular structures. The delay time between the start of contrasting substance administration intro the venous catheter fixed in the median cubital vein and the start of scan is 9 s. The volume of the contrasting substance is calculated as 1.5 mL/kg + 7 mL of the physiologic saline. The flow rate is 1.2 mL/s. The automatic injector with one or two barrels is used. The recommended diameter of the catheter is .
