Answer 36

Cardiomegaly, Pulmonary edema, and increased pulmonary vascular makings

Question 37

What is the patho of tetralogy of fallout?

What is the patho of a VSD?

Answer 37

Because of the obstruction of the right outflow tract, there is a right to left shunt through the VSD and the baby becomes cyanotic.

With a VSD, there is a persistent left to right shunt causing pulmonary overload and persistent volume overload in the left ventricle. Cardiac output also sucks.

Question 38

Why is the VSD not picked up in the nursery and why does it present later?

Answer 38

Because initially there is elevated pulmonary vascular resistance in the newborn because the pulmonary pressure is higher. That will eventually drop and the shunt can actually flow left to right.

Question 39

Three meds to use for treatment of kids with CHF and VSD?

Answer 39

Loop diuretics to shed the volume. Furosemide is drug of choice in kids with CHF.
Digoxin
Ace inhibitors to drop systemic vascular resistance in hopes that the left ventricle will flow the blood forward and not through the VSD because the resistance has dropped. Enalapril and captopril.
