Exam 3 CHD 4-5 Flashcards
Corrective procedure for Transposition of the Great Arteries (Vessels) (TGA)?
Arterial Switch
What are the 2 forms of TGA?
D-Transposition (Dextrotransposition)
L-Transposition (Levotransposition)
Which type of TGA is most common?
D-Transposition
Which type is where misdirected folding of embryonic heart tube- folding to the left side instead of right?
L-Transposition
Which type is where the Truncus Arteriosus fails to divide properly?
D-Transposition
What is the common origin of the aorta and pulmonary artery?
Truncus Arteriosus
Describe what happens with Dextrotransposition of the Great Arteries
The Truncus Arteriosus (common origin of the aorta and PA) fails to divide properly and creates 2 parallel circulations.
What 3 defects creates an exception to the parallel circulation that normally occurs with D-TGA?
PDA, ASD, VSD (Additional communications)
Trace the blood flow from the RA-Aorta with L-TGA
RA-MV-LV-PA-LA-TV-RV-Aorta
Which TGA is associated with switching the position of the RV and LV with NO AFFECT on the Great Vessels?
L-TGA
Describe what happens with Levotransposition of the Great Arteries
Misdirected folding of the embryonic heart tube occurs, it folds to the left side instead of the right. The RV and LV are switched and there is no affect on the great vessels.
TGA normally occurs with other anomalies, or in isolation?
Isolation
TGAs accounts for ____% of all CHDs.
6%
Sx of L-TGA at birth?
Asymptomatic at birth
Sx of R-TGA at birth w/o shunting lesions?
Profound Cyanosis
Sx of R-TGA at birth w/ shunting lesions?
Initially asymptomatic, progresses to tachypnea, tachycardia, heart failure, feeding problems, respiratory distress w/o cyanosis. LV volume overload and L to R shunting.
Auscultation, ECG and CXR associated with R-TGA
No murmur to Loud murmur (depends on shunt lesion)
RAD and RVH on ECG
Egg-shaped heart with narrow Stalk on CXR
Med/Surg Tx of D-TGA in neonate w/o sufficient shunting.
Prostaglandin Infusion- for patency of DA or stent placement
Balloon Septostomy- to create or increase ASD
O2
Tx of HF
Decrease PAP
Arterial Switch Operation- transecting PA and Aorta and reanastomosing to RV and LV
Anesthetic MGMT of TGA
Induction technique?
Inhalation or IV Induction
Ketamine 1-2mg/kg incrementally
Fentanyl 2-15mcg/kg incrementally
Rocuronium 1mg/kg
Anesthetic MGMT of TGA
Invasive lines?
Yes Arterial and CVP
Note- VSD closure needs bicaval cannulation, so use femoral venous line, not jugular
Anesthetic MGMT of TGA
Myocardial Ischemia concerns?
MI can occur after cross clamping is removed due to poor coronary anastomosis or air emboli in coronary artery- Increase CPP to flush out air. If no improvement, may need to go back on CPB to reassess anastomosis.
Anesthetic MGMT of TGA
____ to assess function of repair and presence of air
Echo
Anesthetic MGMT of TGA
Anticipate _______ HTN
Pulmonary HTN- can cause compression of Coronary Arteries and MI
Anesthetic MGMT of TGA
Inotropes?
More than likely
Use Dopamine, Epinephrine, and Milrinone
Anesthetic MGMT of TGA
LV will be _________, so be careful with ______
LV will be NONCOMPLIANT, be careful with FLUIDS- give slowly and in small amounts
Anesthetic MGMT of TGA
Coagulation is possible?
Yeap- often need antifibrinolytics
Anesthetic MGMT of TGA
Postoperatively, have high risk of:
dysrhythmias and conduction defects
Anesthetic MGMT of TGA
Maintenance- Keep PVR ____
Keep PVR DOWN
Deep GA will blunt reactive Pulm. HTN
Anesthetic MGMT of TGA
Avoid ____HR and ___ CO with limited myocardial reserve.
Avoid Decreased HR and Decreased CO
Control BP
Single vessel from the heart gives rise to both aorta and pulmonary artery.
What is Truncus Arteriosus?
Truncus Arteriosus is associated with ______Syndrome
DiGeorge
List the Clinical Features and Concerns of DiGeorge Syndrome (Table 15-4)
Absent of small thymus
T-Cell Abnormality w/ associated immunodeficiency
Hypoparathyroidism w/ associated hypocalcemia
Dysmorphic features, particularly a small mouth
Increased surgical morbidity and mortality
Irradiated blood products needed to prevent graft-vs-host disease
Mortality is high with Truncus Arteriosus, and surgery is performed _____
early in life
3 factors influencing mortality with TA.
Presence of:
Truncal Valve Stenosis
Coronary Abnormalities
Low Birth Weight
Describe the surgery for TA repair
Closure of VSD, disconnect pulmonary arteries, place graft between RV and PA to provide pulmonary blood flow.
Type 1 TA
Main PA and Aorta arises from BASE of truncus
Type 2 TA
R and L pulmonary arteries arise SEPARATELY from truncus, close to each other
Type 3 TA
Pulmonary arteries arise on OPPOSITE sides of truncus
