The Case was initially postponed due to changes in ECG on the operation Table for further the cardiac evaluation. She was later confirmed as a case of Tetralogy of Fallot that was never diagnosed previously. The Surgery was conducted on the next day under General Anesthesia with Rapid Sequence Induction. The patient was later referred to a cardiologist after discharge for further management of her condition.
