    Critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) can lead to severe neonatal complications if not recognized and treated promptly.

  • 2

    Universal newborn screening for CCHD using pulse oximetry has significantly reduced infant mortality rates.

  • 3

    Emergency CCHD requires urgent stabilization and intervention based on physiological criteria rather than solely anatomical diagnosis.

  • 4

    Rapid identification of critical lesions and timely interventions are crucial to prevent end-organ injury and improve outcomes.

  • 5

    Prenatal diagnosis of CCHD enhances clinical stability at birth, reducing risks associated with postnatal diagnosis.
