Cardiovascular Book Flashcards

1
Q

** what is preload
afterload
how do these two things work with contractility in terms of stroke volume

A

preload: end diastolic volume
afterload: amount of resistant the heart must overcome
the volume of blood ejected by the ventricle with each contraction

Q

** how do we do a cardiac assessment in chikldren? what are we looking for? what should we be hearing?what shouldnt we see or hear? how do we evaulate overall work status in infants? what would you notice in a patient with cardiac failure if the were an infant? what if they were an older child

A

skin color, cap refill, heart rate/rhythm, BP, working of breathing
hearing S1 S2 S3
- S3 is normal in children related to rapid filling
should not see thril or S4 abnormal, heard late in diastole or early systole
CCHD: 95-98% with less than 3% change, R hand is preductal, either foot is postudctal
poor feeding, failure to thrive, tachpnea, tachycardia, poor wt gain, activity intolerance, developmental delayed

Q

** understand what Kawasaki disease is, hoe does it present, what are the complications, what do you anticipate for nursing considerations and how is it treated?

A

acute stage: fever (5 days) >39, conjuctival hyperermia, cervivallymphode enlargement, strawberry tongue, cracker lips, rash on trunk
subacute: cracking skin (lips, fingers, toes) cornary artery anerysm
convalsecnt: 6-8 weeks after onset of s/s

monitor fever and CV status
IVIG 2g/kg for 18hrs

Q

** how does hypovolemic shock occur? What are the stages of hypovolemic shock? is BP a good indicator of the Childs status? How to assess the patient for adequate tissue perfusion? what is the nursing management of shock? what would you anticipate for fluid replacement in shock?

A

hemorrhage, plasma loss from burns, nephrotic syndrome, sepsis, decrease fluids

no BP not good indicator, early comp is a normal BP, moderate decomposition is lowered systolic

urine output

IV fluid bolus, keep child warm

isotonic fluid
