Exam 4 Flashcards
Defects where blood is shunted from the left to the right side of the heart (3)
increased pulmonary blood flow
ASD
VSD
PDA
s/s of ASD/VSD/PDA
= Defects where blood is shunted from the left to the right side of the heart
–>Blood enters and then reenters the pulmonary system with increase pulmonary blood flow
> S/S of heart failure + murmur + can be asxs
differences in murmur b/w ASD/VSD/PDA
ASD = loud harsh
VSD= loud hard, left sternal border
PDA- machine hum
which is common in premies: VSD, ASD, or PDA?
PDA
treatments for ASD/VSD/PDA
ASD/VSD/PDA = cadiac cath/ close spontaeously PDA = indomethacin
Defects where blood exiting the heart meets an area of narrowing
Aortic Stenosis
Pulmonary Stenosis
Coarctation of AORTA
Defects where blood exiting the heart meets an area of narrowing result in _______ cardiac output
decreased
s/s aortic stenosis (infants vs children)
- Murmur
- CHF
- Infants – faint pulses, hypotension, tachycardia, poor feeding
- Children – exercise intolerance, dizziness
s/s of pumlonary stenosis
- murmur
- cardiomegaly
- heart failure
- cyanosis w/ activity varies
s/s of coartation of aorta
- Elevated b/p in arms – decreased in lower extremities
* Bounding pulses in upper/ weak, cool skin lower
treatments for
- Aortic stenosis
- Pulmonary stenosis
- Coarctation of the aorta
cardiac cath/balloon angioplasty
Right to left shift letting deoxygenated blood from right side into systemic circulation on left side causes what?
decreased pulmonary blood flow –> deoxygenated blood in body!
2 types of decreased pulmonary blood flow coniditons of heart
- Tetralogy of Fallot
* Tricuspid atresia
what is treatment for
- Tetralogy of Fallot
- Tricuspid atresia
surgical repair
4 defects of tetralogy of fallot
- VSD (ventricular septum defect)
- overriding aorta
- pulmonary stenosis
- right ventricular hypertrophy
s/s of tetralogy of fallot
- TET spells
- Murmur
- Client blue with crying, feeding, play
- Chronic hypoxia (clubbing)
2 characteristics of tricuspid atresia
= Tricuspid valve is closed and septal defect
s/s of tricuspid atresia
- Cyanosis
- dyspnea
- tachycardia
- Hypoxemia
- clubbing
◦ aorta connected to right ventricle
◦ pulmonary artery connected to left ventricle
=
Mixed Blood Flow Defect:::
Transposition of the great arteries
◦ Failure of septum to form =
Mixed blood flow::
Truncus arteriosus
◦ Underdeveloped left side of heart =
Mixed blood flow defect::
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome
s/s of heart failure
- Tachycardia
- Tachypnea
- Weight gain
- Poor Feeding/Growth
- Fatigue
- Decreased output
- Orthopnea
hold rate for digoxin - adult.child/infant
◦ 60/min in adult
◦ 70/min in child
◦ 90/min in infant
feedings for heart failure kids (2 )
- cluster care: Feed every 3 hours
* Polycose to add calories
meds for heart failure (3)
digoxin, lasix, ace inhibitor
dig toxicity:
vision change/vommiting
3 phases of kawaski
acute, subacute, convaslecent
what is kawaski? is it chill or like a big deal?
= acute systemic vasculitis - inflammation that affects arterioles/venules/capillaries
–> Weakens the walls of blood vessels
• potentially fatal
s/s during acute kawaski
high fever unresponsive to antipyretics, eyes red (no drainage), bright red chapped lips, strawberry tongue with red bumps, irritability inflammation in throat, swelling in hands and feet, palms and soles red, non-blistering rash, joint pain bilaterally, myocarditis, LV function decreased, pericardial effusion
s/s during subacute kawaski
fever will break, subsiding of other s/s, irritability, peeling of skin around nails/palms/soles
will lab bindings be normal during convalescent phase of kawaski?
altered lab findings, takes 6-8 weeks from onset to resolve
2 meds for treat kawaski
aspirin high dose, iv immunogobblin
cardiac cath post op care
- tele/o2 monitoring
- assess pulse bilateral pulse
- assess insertion site for bleeding/hematoma
- prevent bleeding by keeping affect extremity straight for 4-8 hours
- clean/dry dressing
- monitor for hypoglycemia
- clear fluids encouraged + voiding to get out contrast medium
*leave dressing on for 24 hours then put on regular bandaid
what med can cause reyes sydrome?
asprin + viral infection
Type of spina bifida:
‣ tuft of hair present, dimpling at base of spine
‣ no protrusion of spinal nerves, but missing bone
oculta
Type of spina bifida:
Protrusion containing meninges and spinal fluid ,,, NO nerves
Meningocele
Type of spina bifida,,,
Protrusion containing meninges, spinal fluid, and nerves

Bladder and bowel issues/paralysis with which types of spina bifida?
Meningocele and Myelomeningocele
Can we take rectal temps on spina bifida patients?
Heck no!
What kind of dressing goes over lower back of spina bifida patient?
Sterile moist dressing initially, change ever 2 hours
What position do we place new born spina bifida patient in?
Prone
Avoid pressure on sac
What kind of hold is recommended for spina bifida newborn?
Football hold — avoid pressure on sac
Can spina bifida babes be born vaginally?
No! C section
