Q

decreased volume of amniotic fluid during a pregnancy; a risk factor associated with abnormalities of the urinary tract, postmaturity (birth after a prolonged pregnancy), and intrauterine growth retardation

A

oligohydramnios

40
Q

a situation in which the ductus arteriosus, which assists in fetal circulation, does not transition as it should after birth to become the ligamentum arteriosum; the result is the the connection between the pulmonary artery and the aorta remains, allowing some oxygenated blood to move back into the heart rather than all of it moving out of the aorta and into systemic circulation

A

patent ductus arteriosus (PDA)

when asphyxia continues after primary apnea, infant responds with a period of gasping respirations, falling pulse rate, and falling blood pressure. Positive pressure ventilations is indicated to reverse secondary apnea

seizure

59
Q

an infant whose size and weight are considerably less than the average for infants of the same age

small for gestational age

60
Q

a substance formed in the lungs that helps keep the small air sacs or alveoli from collapsing and sticking together; a low level in a premature infant contributes to respiratory distress syndrome

surfactant

61
Q

used to describe a newborn delivered at 38 to 42 weeks of gestation

term

62
Q

a cardiac anomaly that consists of four defects; a ventricular septal defect, pulmonary stenosis, right ventricular hypertrophy, and an overriding aorta

A

tetralogy of Fallot (ToF)

63
Q

the process by which the body maintains temperature through a combination of heat gain by metabolic processes and muscular movement and heat loss through respiration, evaporation, conduction, convection, and perspiration

A

thermoregulation

64
Q

a rare congenital defect in which the four pulmonary veins do not connect to the left atrium; instead, the pulmonary veins connect to the right atrium resulting in diminished oxygen and an increased load on the right ventricle

A

total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR)

65
Q

a defect in which the great vessels are reversed; the aorta is connected to the right ventricle, and the pulmonary artery is connected to the left ventricle

A

transposition of the great arteries (TGA)

66
Q

the absence of a tricuspid valve, which normally separates the right atrium and the right ventricle

A

tricuspid atresia
