Babies with tetralogy of Fallot are blue at birth (cyanosis). Sometimes the blue color appears only when they cry

MOST TOF are usually NOT cyanotic at birth except in severe cases of pulmonary stenosis. In contrast, TGA is more apparent at birth. Crying is really exaggerate the cyanosis and may lead to hypercyanotic spells that need emergent treatment with B-blockers, O2, morphine, and Sodium Bicarbonate.
