Transposition Physiology: The Importance of Effective Blood Flow by M. Cory | OPENPediatrics Scholar

This video offers an overview of transposition physiology with a focus on the importance of effective blood flow. It reviews levels of mixing, the critical role of the atrial septum, challenges associated with a restrictive atrial septum, and the initial medical management of affected newborns. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - Describe the importance of effective blood flow in transposition physiology - Calculate the volume of mixing in a patient with transposition physiology - Compare the effectiveness of the different levels of mixing in a heart with transposition physiology - Identify the signs of a restrictive atrial septum in a patient with transposition physiology AUTHOR Melinda Cory, MD Assistant Professor of Pediatrics, UT Southwestern Medical Center DATE March 19, 2026.
