case_images: Trend of hemodynamic parameters and pulse oxygen saturation over time. Changes of saturation (a), heart rate (b) and arterial blood pressure (b) over time (in minutes), starting at NICU admission (+-30 min post birth). a Blue dots indicate the preductal saturation and the red dots the post-ductal saturation measurements. b Blue dots indicate heart rate trend and the red line the mean arterial blood pressure (ABP), including systolic and diastolic blood pressure (interval). BP, blood pressure; FiO2, fraction of inspired oxygen; min, minutes; NICU, neonatal intensive care unit; PO2, partial pressure of oxygen.

case_images: In the following hours, the clinical condition of the infant improved markedly with significant decrease in heart rate and increase in SpO2 levels, reaching preductal 85% and post-ductal 93% (Fig. 1).
case_images: Echocardiographic images of the FO after birth. Postnatal echocardiographic images of the FO at 60 min (a, b), 2 h (c, d), 4 h (e, f), and 24 h (g, h) post-birth. Yellow arrow indicates the interatrial septum with adequate communication (left-to-right shunting through FO) between LA and RA depicted by laminar color Doppler (a-c, e, g) and pulsed wave Doppler (d, f, h). LA, left atrium; RA; right atrium; FO, patent foramen ovale; SVC, superior vena cava.
