28
Q

what kind of bloodflow does tetralogy of fallot have?

A

decreased pulmonary blood flow

29
Q

what are the 4 defects that make up tetralogy of fallot?

A
  1. right ventricular wall hypertrophy (narrowing)
  2. narrowing of pulminary valve (pulmonic stenosis)
  3. ventricular septal defect
  4. overriding aorta
30
Q

what causes the right ventricle hypertrophy in tetralogy of fallot

A

pulmonic stenosis causes the right ventricle to work harder than it should

31
Q

where is the shunting of blood in tetralogy of fallot

A

there is none

32
Q

why is there decreased pulmonary blood flow in tetralogy of fallot?

A

pulmonic stenosis (narrow pulmonsry valve)

33
Q

which procedure has a radiopaque catheter inserted into the heart from a peripheral blood vessel, has contrast media put through

A

cardiac cath

34
Q

what can assess congenital heart defects, valve disease, and coronary heart disease

A

cardiac cath

35
Q

where does a cardiac cath measure oxygen saturation

A

in the hearts chambers and great arteries

36
Q

where dies a cardiac cath measure pressure gradients

A

pulmoanry vessels and heart chambers

37
Q

how long is rpessure held on a cardiac cath afterward?

A

15 mins

38
Q

describe dressing assessment intervals directly after a cardiac cath

A

every 5 min for 15 mins, every 15 mins for 1 hour, then hourly

39
Q

which vital signs indicate bleeding

A

increased pulse and decreased bp

40
Q

wha tcan contrast media cause

A

diuresis (watch I&O)

41
Q

how long should the HOB be flat for after a cardiac cath

A

4-6 hours

42
Q

where should pressure be held if a cardiac cath site bleeds?

A

an inch above the site (inch closer to heart, this is on leg)

43
Q

what is when cardiac putput is inadequate to support the bodys circulatory and metabolic needs

A

congestive heart failure

44
Q

what is congestive heart failure cuased by?

A

congenital heart defect or acquired heart disease

54
Q

what needs supplemental when on diuretics?

A

potassium

55
Q

Which medications for congestive heart failure are used to decrease blood pressure, therefore decreasing the workload of the heart

what is the most common sign of digoxin toxicity in congestive heart failure treatment

A

arrythmias

57

What kind of dosing is used with digoxin?

A

loading dose and then maintenance dose

59
Q

Which heart rates lead to digoxin being held in infants and children?

A

infants = <90, children = <70

60
Q

A decrease in which electrolyte increases the risk of digoxin toxicity?

A

potqssium

61
Q

What kind of diets are recommended for infants with congestive heart failure?

Q

What kind of meals should an older child with CHF have?

A

small frwqunt meals

63
Q

What position is best for CHF?
