2] Pediatric <3 Disorders Flashcards
What is incidence
of new cases
Incidence of peds and heart conditions
Congenital heart defects occur in about 1% = 40,000/year
What is prevalence
Total # of cases of diseases in a period of time
Prevalence of congenital heart disease
1 million kids
1.4 million adults
15% of babies born with CHD have ?
Other genetic conditions
How can you identify kids with CHD?
Newborn screening - add pulse ox
Cause of CHD?
Unknown
What’s the genetic association with CHD?
Down syndrome
The heart begins as
Two strands
The heart has two adjacent tubes at
Day 18
The two heart tubes fuse at
Day 21
The heart is beating on
Day 22
Single atria chamber and single ventricular chamber pump
Blood by day 27
Ventricle forms the
Truncus arteriosus
What grows in the truncus arteriosus
Septum
Septum forms
Aorta and pulmonary artery
Atria wall forms an opening when? And what?
Days 27-37 and foramen ovale
Heart is completely developed by
Weeks 7-10
What’s formed by weeks 7-10
Ductus arteriosus
What kind of resistance is in the fetal lungs and why
Higher resistance and fluid follow spath of least resistance
Connection from the pulmonary artery to the aorta
Ductus arteriosus
What’s between the atria
Foramen ovale
What happens as the baby takes first breath and air fills the lungs
Pulmonary arteries and capillaries DIATE and fluid moves into arterioles
Resistance is what in lungs
Lower
What happens to foramen ovale ?
Closes due to high pressure on L side
When does foramen ovale fuse
Before month 3
When oxygen levels rise, muscle in the ductus arteriosus contracts and
DA closes 10-15 hours after birth
2 types of congenital heart defects
Cyanotic vs acyanotic
Low oxygen saturation
- tetralogy of Fallot
- hypoplastic left heart syndrome
Cyanotic
Normal oxygen saturation’s
Acyanotic
Volume issues to lungs
Acyanotic
Right to left shunt
Cyanotic
Left to right shunt
Acyanotic
Correction of aorta
PDA
ASD
VSD
Acyanotic
Signals increase for RC formation in which defect
Cyanotic
Increased risk for cerebrovascular insult
Cyanotic
What is ASD
Atrial septal defect
Which way does the shunt go for ASD
Left to right shunt
Characteristics of ASD
L heart is less compliant.
Mor epressure on L side.
Which results in increased blood flow to R side
Sx of ASD
Dysrythmia
SOB
FTT/poor weight gain
Exercise intolerance
What does ASD present like in adults
• In adults, may present with SOB, leg swelling, dysrhythmia’s in 30’s or stroke.
How is ASD repaired
By sewing the opening closed or with a patch
What is VSD
Ventricular septal defect
