Q

One month old Sarah comes to the health care provider’s office for her one month checkup. She had a small murmur noted at her one week check up. Mom tells you that Sarah’s bottle ticks 40 minutes for her to finish. She becomes diaphoretic with bottle feeding. Past couple days Mom says she has become purple when fussy.

Q

Which congenital results has blood shunted on the aorta to the pulmonary arteries?

A

Paren’t ductus arteriosis

23
Q

what kind of infants are most at risk for patent ductus arteriosis

A

premature infants

24
Q

clinical manifestations ductus arteriosis

A

dyspnea, tachypnea, tachycardia, full bounding puless, widened pulse pressure

25
Q

what kind of manifestations are seen in a large patent ductus arteriosis

A

Congestive part failure, intercostal retractions, hepatomegaly, poor growth and development

26
Q

What is the treatment of patent ductus arteriosis

A

surgical ligation, insertion of coli

27
Q

HIV medications can stimulate culture of patent ductus arteriosis in premature infants?

A

IV ibuprofen or indomethacin

28
Q

10 y.o. Is brought in five PMS to the emergency department. mother called 911 because her baby was not acting right and turning colors while feeding.

RR 70(high), HR good, pox 90 low, BP good, brachial/radial bounding pulses, femoral/pedal pulses weak

CXR showed cardiomegaly, BP higher in upper extremities

which congenital heart disorder?

A

coarctation of the aorta

29
Q

which ccongenital heart defect is narrowing or construction of the descending aorta which obstructs a systemic blood flow

A

coarctation of aorta

30
Q

What about coarctation of the sorts causes higher bps in upper than lower extremities

A

decreased blood flow through descending aorta

31
Q

how is coarctation of aorta diagnosed

A

CXR, cardiomegaly, pulmonary venous congestion, indentation of descending aorta

32
Q

what were the two surgical treatments of coarctation of aorta

A

1) Surgical resection of the narrowed aorta and anastomosis
2) Area that is narrow may be dilated with a balloon during a cardiac cath

33
Q

why does polycythemia occur in decreased pulmonary blood flow defects

A

excessive production of red blood cells to increase the amount of hemoglobin available to carry oxygen to the tissues

34
Q

What is the narrowing of a palmonic valve or valve area

A

pukmonic valve stenosis

35
Q

which part of the heart is affected by pulmonic stenosis and how?

A

Right ventricular hypertrophy

36
Q

what is the clinical therapy of pulmonic stenosis

A

dilation by balloon valvuloplasty during cardiac calf or surgical resection

37
Q

What kind of prophylaxis is necessary for pulmonic stenosis and for how long

A

lifelong infective endocrarditis prophylaxis

  3. ventricular septal defect
  4. overriding aorta
39
Q

what’s an overriding aorta

A

the aortic valve is enlarged and appears to arise from both the left and right ventricles instead of just the left

40
Q

when is tetraoly of fallout usually diagnosed

A
