Q

Explain blood flow in fetal circulation

Path of oxygenated blood from placenta

A
  1. OXYGENATED: From placenta, blood flow through umbilical vein which separates into 2 branches (one is portal vein, the other is DUCTUS VENOSUS, which join the IVC
  2. The blood bypasses the liver, goes through the Ductus venosus into the IVC
  3. Blood enters RA
  4. Goes from RA through FORAMEN OVALE to LA
  5. From LA to LV
  6. From LV to proximal aorta then supplied to the coronaries and Head vessels and upper torso

Q

Path of UNOXYGENATED blood in fetal circulation( blood from body)

A
  1. flow directly from Superior vena cava to tricuspid to Right ventricle
  2. From RV to Pulmonary artery
  3. Because lungs not inflated , and PVR is high, most of the DEOXYGENATED blood return to AORTA via the DUCTUS ARTERIOSUS
  4. Then from the aorta FLOW to UMBILICAL ARTERIES
  5. FROM UMBILICAL ARTERIES back to PLACENTA

117
Q

FRC is reduced TO

A

80%

118
Q

Why does FRC decreases? What is the meaning of a decreased FRC?

A

because Diaphragm is higher

Less O2 reserve , less time to intubate, desaturation occurs quicker. MUST PRE-OXYGENATE
