25
What increase as the placenta is gone?
SVR

3 months to a year | -Septum primum and septum secundum adhere
34
When does functional and antomic closure of the ductus arteriosus happen?
72 hours of life | - 1 to 3 months
35
Anatomic closure of the ductus arteriosus happens with the formation of what?
ligamentum arteriosum
36
What are CHD patients dependent on?
Ductus arteriosus patency
37
What can be done to keep ductus arteriosus patent?
- Prostglandin E1 (alprostadil) infusion | - ↓ O2 tension
38
Side effects of alprostadil
- Resp depression - Apnea - Fever - Seizures
39
Signs of PDA
- Hyperactive precordium - Bounding pulse - Wide pulse pressure - Hepatomegaly - tachypnea - Tachycardia
40
What med to close PDA?
Indomethacin (prostaglandin inhibitor)
41
What are normal blood volumes for premie, < 3 months, 3-12 mo, and > 12 months?
``` Premie = 100-120 ml/kg 12 = 70 ```
42
Why do increases in preload and afterload have negligible effects on PEDS CO?
- Fewer contractile elements - Deficiency of elastic elements - Reduced compliance
43
What is ventricular interdependence?
-Change in ventricular pressure to 1 ventricle effects the other
44
What causes ventricular interdependence?
- Low ventricle compliance | - Equal ventricle muscle mass
45
Why would you pretreat a neonate w/ atropine prior to intubation?
Incomplete autonomic innervation leads to bradycardia upon stimulation. -CO is dependent on HR
46
What does not change in a newborn?
Stroke volume
47
The hallmark of intravascular fluid depletion in neonates and infants is?
hypotension without tachycardia
48
A concern for paradoxical air embolism may occur in the neonate because of?
patent foramen ovale

No

Infundibular
71
Which VSD can be single or multiple?
Muscular
72
AVSD almost always involves what?
AV valvular abnormalities
73
What causes the left to right shunt in VSD?
PVR being greater than SVR
74
What do VSD lead too?
- ↑ RV and pulmonary pressure | - Hypertrophy of LA and LV
75
What is considered a small - moderate VSD, and how do they close?
- 3-6mm | - 50% will close spontaneously by 2yo
