ATI 20 - Congenital Heart Disease - INCR PULMO BF Flashcards
Congenital Heart Disease
occurrence
8-12 per 1,000 live birth
Congenital Heart Disease
genetic + environmental causes
- drug exposure
- maternl viral infectn
- maternl metab disorder
- incr maternl age
- multifactorial genetc pattern
- chrmsml abnorm
Congenital Heart Disease
etiology
inadequate CO
-hypertrophy followed by failure
Congenital Heart Condition
nursing care
- limit feeding to 30min unless instructed otherwise
- careful w fluid + O2
- breastmilk preferred (possibly pumped, fortifd, or supplmtd)
- infectn prevention
- maybe transpyloric, nasogastric, gastronomy tube
___ is required before cardiac catheterization
baseline assessment
-make sure no allergies to iodine or shellfish bc contrast
cardiac catheterization
post op care
- continuous cardiac + pulse ox
- assess pulse for symmetry
- assess skin
- assess insertion site for bleed/hematoma
- prevent bleeding by keeping extremity in straight position
cool extremity that blanches after cardiac catheterization can indicate
arterial obstruction
sudden sustained incr in pulse/resp + decr in perfusn may indicate…
early hemorrhage
INCREASED pulmonary BF
clinical manifestations
- tachypnea
- tachycardia
- murmur
- *CHF**
- poor wt gain
- diaphoresis
- periorbital edema
- freq resp infection
DECREASED pulmonary BF
clinical manifestations
- *cyanosis**
- hypoxic spells
- poor wt gain
- polycythemia
OBSTRUCTION to systemic BF
clinical manifestation
- *CHF w pulmo edema**
- diminished pulse
- poor color
- delayed cap refill time
- decr UO
MIXED Defects
clinical manifestations
- *cyanosis**
- *CHF can occur w incr shunting**
- poor wt gain
- pulmo congestn
Patent Ductus Arteriosus
occurrence
common
-5-10% of all infants w congenital heart disease
normal ductus arteriosus
blood goes fr pulmo artery to aorta
- closes 10-15 hr after birth
- complete seal after 10-21 days after birth
normal closure of ductus arteriosus is triggered by…
high O2 saturation
Patent Ductus Arteriosus
pathophysiology
at birth, SVR incr + PVR decr
