Congenital Heart 2 Flashcards
genetic association for AV septal defect
downs syndrome
in AV septal defect, ____ fail to fuse resulting in no division of central AV canal
inferior and superior endocardial cushions
features of all AV septal defects
AV valves insert at level of cardiac crux
unwedged anterior displacement of aorta
elongated LVOT
Cleft i AV valve
signs of infantile CHF
tachycardic
tachypnea
inability to feed well
qwhy later CHF in AV septal defect?
no symptoms until lungs open and body must increase output
as lungs open up, receive increasing flow as body tries to compensate
why PDA is unhelpful in AV septal defect
would increase flow to lungs (shunting away from systemic(
4 features of Tetralogy of fallot due to anterior deviation of the coronal septum
subpulmonary stenosis
VSD
over riding aorta
RVH
associated genetic syndromes for tetralogy of fallot
DiGeorge
Downs
also Allagiles and CHARGE
infancy presentation TOF
Cyanotic (or pink if RVOT obstruction is minimal)
systolic ejection murmur at LUSB
Tachypnea (esp when RVOT obstruction minimal > pulmonary overcirculation from shunting across VSD)
5 Cyanotic CHD
Tetralogy of fallot (most common cyanotic)
Truncus arteriosis
Transposition of great arteries
tricuspic atresia
total anamalous pulmoanry venous return
test to verify that CHD exists versus pulmonary cause of cyanosis
Hyperoxia test (should not be responsive to 100% O2)
murmur of TOF
velocity faster from extra volume shunting across VSD and pulmonary stenosis (systolic ejection at LUSB)
managemnet TOF
(side effects of treatment)
PGE to maintain PDA
operative repair
(apnea, fever, HTN, increased secretion, gastric outlet obstruction)
Tet spells of TOF recognized via
disappearance of systolic ejection murmur (RVOT obstruction so makred that little flow to pulmonary system, leading to L-R shunt)
Tet Spells
TOF
RVOT obstuction severe - little pulmonary flow
infant becomes more cyanotic with distress, hyperneic, irrabtable
managemnet, TET
calm child
“sqaut” to increase venous return
increase systemic resistance
oxygen admin
fluid admin
morphine to relax
palliation shunts for TOF
Waterston - ascending arota to right pulmonary
Potts - descending aorta to left pulmonary
operative complete repair TOF
- Patch closure of VSD (direct flow to aorta)
- Relief of RVOT obstruction via RVT patch placement to increase size of area OR placement of RV to Pulmonary artery conduit)
follow up concerns for complete repair TOF
pulmonary regurgitation
Trans pul patch > more regurg, larger RVEDV
patches must be replaced with growth
symptoms of RVR indicating need for re-surgery in TOF repair
Exercise intolerance
dysnea with mild effort,
syncope attributable to arrhythmia
degree of cyanosis in Truncus Arteriosis depends on
ratio of blood blow to lungs compared to body (Qp/Qs ratio)
degree of mixing
blood flow after birth Truncus arteriosis
to lungs - heart failure / pulmonary overcirculation
