Hypercyanotic episodes are characterized by paroxysms of hyperpnea, prolonged crying, intense cyanosis, and decreased intensity of the murmur of pulmonic stenosis.
It is secondary to infundibular spasm and-or decreased SVR with increased right-to-left shunting at the VSD, resulting in diminished pulmonary blood flow. Oxygen is required to reduce the hypoxia.
