Bernstein #1 Flashcards
What are the 3 most common cardiac problems in PEDS
- Bicuspid aortic valve
- VSD
- ASD (secundum)
What is the most common cyanotic lesion?
Tetralogy of fallot 6%
In the 1st week of life, what is the most frequent cyanotic defect?
D-transposition of the great arteries
What is levocardia?
Heart in right place, but other organs are reversed
What is dextrocardia?
Heart pointed wrong direction to the right.
What is mesocardia?
Midline heart
What is situs solitus?
Normal arrangement of organs
-Liver right
Stomach left
What is situs inversus?
complete reversal of organs
What is situs ambiguous?
Reversal of some organs
Anything other than situs solitus (normal arrangement) suggest what?
High likelihood of Congenital heart disease
Fetal circulation is ______ rather than in ________.
Parallel
series
in fetal circulation what delivers blood to both pulmonary and systemic circulation?
Right ventricle
In fetal circulation, the LV sends blood where?
Systemic
Placental circulation
In fetal circulation where does O2 blood come from?
Placenta
What route does placental blood take to bypass liver and go straight to the IVC?
Ductus venosus
in fetal circulation, What causes 90% of blood from the RV to pass the PA and head straight to the descending aorta?
- Ductus Arteriosus
- High PVR
What is preferential streaming in fetal circulation?
Umbilical venous blood w/ higher O2 content is given to the Brain, Heart and upper limbs.
ascending aorta O2 sats
pO2 = 20-22 mmHg O2 = 65%
Descending aorta sats
pO2 = 20-22 mmHg O2 = 55%
What facilitates O2 uptake in the placenta?
Lower p50 of fetal hemoglobin
In fetal circulation which ventricle has a higher output?
RV
- 1.3:1 RV/LV output
Why does RV have more output in fetal circulation?
Greater size and thickness
How much output does the RV have in fetal circulation?
450 ml/kg/min
During transitional circulation, an increase of alveolar O2 from spontaneous ventilation leads to what?
- ↓ Pulmonary vascular resistance
- ↑ pulmonary blood flow
What increase as the placenta is gone?
SVR
What causes the drop in systemic venous return to the IVC?
Umbilical venous flow is removed
What increases LA pressure during transitional circulation?
Increased pulmonary blood flow and pulm venous return
As LA pressure exceeds RA pressure what is closed? and what stops?
Foramen Ovale
Atrial shunting
When does the ductus arteriosus close?
10-15 hours after birth
What 3 things cause closure of the ductus arteriosus?
- ↑ O2 tension
- ↓ prostaglandins
- Bradykinin
FO can reopen if what happens?
Increased RA pressure
What can cause increased RA pressure?
- Crying
- Pain
- Hypoxia
- hypercarbia
- acidosis
- Lung disease
- sepsis
How long does it take to close the FO and how does it happen?
3 months to a year
-Septum primum and septum secundum adhere
When does functional and antomic closure of the ductus arteriosus happen?
72 hours of life
- 1 to 3 months
