cardioped Flashcards
receives the largest amount of combined ventricular output(55%) and has the lowest resistance in the fetal circulation
placenta
why is the fetal heart unable to increase stroke volume when the HR falls
it has a low compliance
why does is there functional closure of the foramen ovale
due to increased pressure in the left atrium
why does the ductus venosus closes
it is the result of lack of blood flow leading to faill in pulmonary artery pressure
trigger for closure of PDA(within 10-15hrs)
increased arterial Oxygen saturation
why is the ductus arteriosus more likely to remain open in preterms
because the preterm’s ductal smooth muscle does not have a fully developed constrictor response to oxygen
congenital acyanotic heart dses
ASD VSD PDA
most common type of ASD
ostium secundum (at the site of fossa ovalis)
chamber enlargement in ASD
right sided of the heart (RA RV PA)
murmur in ASD
systolic ejection murmur at the 2nd left ICS due to relative stenosis of pulmonary valve; wide-split S2 resulting from RBBB which delays both electrical depolarization of the RV and the ventricular contraction resulting in DELAYED closure of PV
most common congenital heart diease
VSD
irreversible changes occur in the pulmonary arterioles leading to pulmonary vascular obstructive dse (from L-R shunt to R-L shunt)
Eisenmenger syndrome
pertinent PE findings in VSD
Gr 2-5/6 systolic regurgitant murmur at the LLSB; loud S2; P2 intensity is increased in large shunt
site of enlargement in VSD
LA LA main PA
site of enlargement in PDA
LA LV Aorta
auscultatory finding in PDA
continuous machinery-like murmur
manifestations in PDA
tachycardia; exertional dyspnea due to volume overload; hyperactive precordium; bounding peripheral pulses with widened pulse pressure
complications of PDA
CHF; recurrent pneumonia
contraindication to surgical of PDA
PVOD
most common cause of cyanotic congenital heart disease in the newbords
TOGA
egg-shaped cardiac silhouette with a narrow superior mediastinum
TOGA
balloon atrial septostomy (creating interatrial communication in TOGA)
Rashkind procedure
atrial septostomy (creating interatrial communication in TOGA)
Blalock-Hanlon procedure
Definitive repair of TOGA
switch right and left-sided blood at 3 levels atrial(SENNING or MUSTARD); ventricular(RASTELLI); great artery level(JATENE)
manifestations of TOF
cyanosis; tachypnea; clubbing; RV tap on the left sternal border; Gr 3-5/6 systolic ejection murmur at the mid and ULSB(PS) with radiation to the back; single S2(esp with pulmonary HTN)
small heart size; decreased pulmonary markings; concave main PA with an unruptured apex
Boot-shaped heart seen in CXR of those with TOF
natural history of TOF
polycythemia develops; growth retardation if cyanosis is severe; brain abscess and CVA rarely occur; coagulopathy is a late complication
paroxysm of hyperpnea; irritability; prolonged crying; increasing cyanosis; decreasing intensity of murmur
hypoxic spell
management of hypoxic spell
put the child in knee-chest position to decrease systemic venous return; morphine to suppress the respiratory center and hyperpnea; O2 to improve O2sat; Phenylephrin to raise SVR; Propranolol may stabilize vascular reactivity of the systemic arteries preventing decrease in SVR; Ketamine to increase SVR
