Q

treatment of tetrology of fallot (TOF)

A
  • prostaglandin E1 to maintain open ductus arteriosus

- palliative surgery to improve oxygenation (ie/ patch on VSD)

Q

describe transposition of great vessel

A
  • aorta arises form RV and pulmonary artery from LV

- survival depends on foramen ovale reaminaing open to mix blood

Q

treatment of transposition of great vessel

A
  • prostaglandin E1 to maintain openings

16
Q

how are hypercyanosis spells (TET) relieved

A

squatting and drawing up the legs

*assume squatting to decrease blood return from extremities

17
Q

when do hypercyanosis spells (TET) occur

A

when infants O2 requirements exceed the blood supply (ie/ after feeding or play)

18
Q

s/s of hypercyanosis spells (TET)

A

hypoxia
pallor
cyanosis
tachypnea

19
Q

treatment of hypercyanosis spells (TET)

A

place child in knee chest position, calm, supplemental O2, administer morphine and propanolo IV and IV fluids

20
Q

this is the narrowing and descending of aorta

this restricts blood flow from the heart

A

coarctation of aorta (COA)

21
Q

describe COA

A
  • left ventricular hypertrophy
  • blood pressure difference between upper and lower extremities
  • femoral pulses are weak
  • murmur and thrill
  • CVA from HTN
  • can lead to CHF
22
Q

treatment of COA

A
  • prophylatic antibiotics to prevent endocarditis

- surgical resection of balloon dilation

23
Q

nutrition with heart disease

A
  • feeding can be difficult and tiring
  • feed in relaxed ennvironment
  • frequent small feedings
  • if cannot eat during 30 min every 3 hrs, will need NG tube
24
Q

describe innocent murmurs (functional)

A
  • do not cause bad effects
  • investigate, see cardiologist with any murmur to be safe
  • *does NOT affect growth and development but harmful murmurs will
25
Q

what is important to remember about children in the hospital

A
  • children need adequate rest
  • do everything at once
  • do not continuously go in to disturb them
26
Q

describe congestive heart failure

A
  • disorder of circulation

- occurs when cardiac output is inadequate to support body’s circulation and metabolic needs

27
Q

what can CHF result from

A
  • congential heart defect
  • heart contractility
  • acquired heart disease (Kawasaki)
28
Q

early signs of CHF

A
  • fatigue
  • irritability
  • change in play behavior
  • wt loss and lack of normal wt gaint
  • sweating during feeding
29
Q

s/s as CHF progresses

A
  • tachycardia
  • pallor/cyanosis
  • tachypnea
  • resp distress
30
Q

treatment of CHF

A
  • give oxygen
  • Digoxin (Lanoxin)
  • ACE inhibitors
  • diuretics (lasix, aldactone)
31
Q

management goals of CHF

A
  • remove accumulated fluid and sodium
  • decrease cardiac demands
  • improve tissue oxygenation
  • decrease consuption
