1 Flashcards
Acyanotic Heart Defects include
ASD
VSD
AVSD or AVCD
PDA
Describe the pressure in ASD
Pressure in the lungs may build up. Over time, there
will be less oxygen in the blood that goes to the body
ASD where the mixing occurs
RT Atrium
What is the most common congenital heart lesion
VSD
What happens to pulmonary circulation and LT side of the heart VSD
increased pulmonary
blood flow, increased pulmonary venous return
to the left side of the heart, and subsequent left
ventricular volume overload.
Why the total volume decrease VSD
Bc some flow to the aorta then to the body and the rest will back flow to RT ventricular,pulmonary artery,lung, pulmonary vain and normal circulation
Why the have high HR
The body need the o2 as quick as possible
Heart contracts faster to compensate the lost volume
Reed AVSD
✅
What happens in PDA
Ductus arteriosus: a blood vessel that connects the
pulmonary artery and the aorta.
Opening in DA blood flow from aorta to pulmonary artery to lungs mixed blood
Most common preterm cardio disease
PDA
What other complications of pda
pulmonary
edema resulting from pulmonary
overcirculation.
PDA treatment
Positive pressure PEEP
cyanotic congenital heart lesions are
Ø TOF
Ø Transposition of the great arteries
Ø Truncus arteriosus
Ø Tricuspid atresia
Ø Total anomalous venous return
Explain TOF
VSD acyanotic LT to RT shunt
Overriding aorta the aorta is shift to the RT and takes blood from both ventricles mixed blood goes to the body
Pulmonary Stenosis narrow Pulmonary valve blood accumulate in the RtV and cannot pass the valve easily to get oxygen
Right ventricular hypertrophy so RT side will contract harder to eject the blood from RT ventricular to Pulmonary artery
