Q

Normal Fetal Circulation

Q

Normal Fetal Circulation

Fetal difference in CARDIAC OUTPUT?

A

BP = CO x SVR

CO = STROKE VOLUME** x **HEART RATE

Fetus has a
LIMITED ability to Increase Stroke Volume
So….
CO is MORE Sensitive to HEART RATE

Q

Normal Fetal Circulation

Fetal Difference in PVR
Pulmonary Vascular Resistance

A

Adults:
Systemic Vascular Resistance = Pulmonary Blood Flow > PVR

Fetus:
PVR > Systemic/Pulmonary Blood flow
VVVV
↓PVR before BIRTH due to ↑# pulmonary veins
VVV
SWITCHES AROUND
Systemic/Pulmonary Blood flow > PVR

What causes the:
CLOSURE OF THE FORAMEN OVALE?

A

Q

Congenital Heart Defects

Different Classifications

A

L>R Shunts
PDA / VSD / ASD

R>L Shunts
hypoplastic left heart syndrome = “ductal dependent” lesions

OBSTRUCTIVE LESIONS
Mild-moderate obstruction = stenosis
complete obstruction = atresia
ex. coarctation of the aorta

REGUGITANT LESIONS
due to an incompetent valve ex. mitral valve

Q

Congenital Heart Defects

LEFT to RIGHT Shunts

Examples / Consequence

A

PDA** / **VSD** / **ASD
Patent ductus arteriousus / ventricularseptal defect / artrial septal defect

Allows for:
OXYGENATED BLOOD –> RE-circulate through LUNGS
ACYONOTIC
CO, since blood is SHUNTED off to lungs

Renal Fxn / ↓Systemic Perfusion / Pulmonary Edema
can lead to right heart failure

Q

PDA = Patent Ductus Arteriosus

Etiology / Pathophysiology

A

PDA = Left -> Right Shunt

  • *Premature Infant** - 20% > Term infant
  • *Birth weight < 1000g** = 80%

Patho:
Blood flows from:
Aorta –> PDA –> Pulmonary Artery
directrion of flow determined by:
SVR** & **PVR
↑ blood in pulmonary circuit
↑ workload on the heart

Diagnosis / Confirmation

A

PDA = L>R Shunt

Clinical Features:
Cardiac MURMUR
HYPERactive PREcordium = heart beat out of chest
Bounding Pulses + WIDE pulse pressure
TachyCardia + TachyPnea

ECHOCARDIAGRAM

Q

PDA = Patent Ductus Arteriosus

TREATMENT OPTIONS

A

Symptom Management:
Fluid Restriction** + **Diuretics
↓ intravascular volume -> ↓ workload of the heart
↓pulmonary edema

  • *PROSTAGLANDIN INHIBITORS**
  • *Indomethacin =** Ibuprofen

Surgical Closure

Q

Indomethacin** = **Ibuprofen

Class / MoA / ADR

A

↓PGE2 –> natural closure of Ductus Arteriosus
PRASTOGLANDIN INHIBITORS
PGE2 –> drug-induced closure of PDA

Indomethacin - 3 doses q12-24 hrs
Ibuprofen - 3 doses q24 hrs

ADRs:

  • *RENAL: dysfunction, ↑BUN/SCr,** oliguria, (indo)-hypoNatremia
  • *GI**:bleeding, (indo) - alterned mesenteric blood flow
  • *HEMATOLOGIC: bleeding, ↓platelet fxn**

Q

Indomethacin = Ibuprofen
treatment for PDA

CONTRAINDICATIONS

A

ADRs are
RENAL / GI / HEMATOLOGIC

Active Bleeding

THROMBOCYTOPENIA
for kids <50k platelets

  • *Renal Impairment**
  • *SCr > 1.5**

Ductal-Dependent Congenital Heart Defect

17
Q

Congenital Heart Defects

RIGHT to LEFT Shunts

Examples / Consequence

A
  • *“Ductal Dependent” Lesions**
  • *HypoPlastic Left Heart Syndrome** + Transposition of Great Arteries
  • *Ttralogy of Fallot** + Coarctation of Aorta

Allows for:

  • UNoxygenated Blood* CIRCULATES to the body
  • *CYONOTIC**

PDA has to STAY OPEN so that BLOOD can reach the body

18
Q

TREATMENT

“Ductal Dependent” Lesions
HypoPlastic Left Heart Syndrome + Transposition of Great Arteries
Tetralogy of Fallot + Coarctation of Aorta

A
  • *ALPROSTADIL**
  • *Prostaglandin E1**

Used to temporarily maintain Patency of DA
until SURGERY can be performed

MoA:
relaxation of smooth muscle of ductus arteriosis –> vasodilation

Admin:
continuous IV infusion

19
Q

ALPROSTADIL
Prostaglandin E1

Use / ADR / Monitoring

A

“Ductal Dependent” Lesions = R>L Shunts
HypoPlastic Left Heart Syndrome + Transposition of Great Arteries
Tetralogy of Fallot + Coarctation of Aorta

Vasodilation: ADRs”
Apnea / Flushing
HypoTension / Fever

Monitoring:
O2 saturation, blood gas, blood pressure, respiratory rate, temperature, HR

20
Q

Hypertension Classifications

Children > 13yo

Diagnosis needs to be confirmed by:
3 seperate readings taken >1 week apart

A

same as ADULTS, stage them depending on HIGHEST classification

Normal BP
<120 / <80

Elevated BP
120-129 / <80

Stage 1 HTN
130-139 / 80-89

Stage 2 HTN
> 140 / 90

21
Q

Hypertension Classifications

Children < 13yo

Diagnosis needs to be confirmed by:
3 seperate readings taken >1 week apart

A

Need AGE** + **GENDER** + **HEIGHT

Normal BP
<90th %

Elevated BP
>
90th%<95th%

Stage 1 HTN
>95th% BUT <95th% + 12mmhg

Stage 2 HTN
_>_95th% + 12mmhg

22
