Cardiology Flashcards
What increases Right to left shunt?
increase PVR , sedation, paralysis, hypoventilation, lower fio2
decrease SVT, milrinione, vasodilators
3 physical findings associated with cardiogenic shock
gallop murmur, pulmonary edema, hepatomegaly
In complex mixing lesions you are conerned not concerned about cyanosis, rather
Congestive Heart Failure
PGE might worsen symptoms in what CHD
Obstructed TAPVR, increases PBF
what are principles or repair of single ventricle?
separate pulmonary and systemic circulations
provide stable source of pulmonary and systemic circulation (not reliant on PDA)
balance pulmonic and systemic circulations
What CHD lesions do you see snowman appearance?
supracardiac form of TAPVC
patients have significant right atrial and right ventricular enlargement
usually have ASD (necessary to maintaining left ventricular output)
What does Alpha 1 do?
Increases SVR
Increases Contractility
What does alpha 2?
Decreases SVR
What does Beta 1 do?
Increases HR, increases Contractility, Increases Conduction
What does Beta 2 do?
Decreases SVR
what effect does epi have on HR
It increases HR at low dose (B1on SA and AV Node)
decreases HR at high dose
What is a Blalock-Taussig shunt?
Connects subclavaian artery to pulmonary artery to provide Pulmonary Blood Flow
What is Norwood procedure?
Creates a neoaorta from pulmonary artery and underdeveloped aortic arch to provide systemic circulation
what kind of heart defect has following:
Auscultation reveals that the infant has a systolic ejection murmur at the upper left sternal border and a low-pitched early diastolic rumble at the lower end of the sternal border. The second heart sound appears to be split.
Complete AV Canal
Where does obstruction occur in infradiaphragmatic TAPVR?
- obstruction of the common pulmonary or vertical vein can occur as it reaches the diaphragm
- at the junction with the portal veins
- or at the ductus venosus as it constricts in the early postnatal period.
which to left sided heart lesions require immediate intervention?
HLHS intact septum, obstructed TAPVR
Why is it important for cardioversion to deliver shock during QRS complex?
want to shock from being delivered during T wave while heart is being depolarized
R on T phenomenon can cause polymorphic tachycardia
why would you be judicious in use of oxygen in Right heart lesions and left heart lesions
- too much oxygen in Left sided lesions decreases flow in systemic circulation, which can lead to acidosis and shock
- too much oxygen in right sided lesion excessive pulmonary blood flow, acidosis and CHF
What is long QT for board purposes?D
450 ms
