Transposition of great arteries
Truncus arteriosus
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome

24
Q

Digoxin hold parameters infant vs child

A

Infant <90

Child < 70

25
Q

Antidote for digoxin

A

Digoxin immune fag

26
Q

Sxs of digoxin toxicity

A

Bradycardia, dysthymia, n/v, anorexia, visual disturbances

27
Q

What class of drugs are catopril and enalapril ?

Why use them for heart stuff?

A

Ace inhibitor

Reduce after load by causing vasodilation

28
Q

Nursing actions for furosemide

A

Potassium wasting diuretic

High k diet
I/O
Monitor hypokalemia, nausea, vomitting, dizziness
Daily weight

29
Q

Where do triglycerides come from?

A

Made by body from carbohydrates

End product of fat ingestion

30
Q

What is HDL?

A

Good!

Low level cholesterol/triglyceride and high protein

31
Q

What is LDL?

A

Bad!

High level cholesterol, low level triglycerides, moderate protein

32
Q

2 treatments for all 3 Increased Pulmonary Blood Flow heart defects + 1 special for PDA

A

ASD, VSD, PDA: may close spontaneously, cardiac cath

PDA- indomethacin

33
Q

treatment for Obstruction to blood flow heart conditions? (2)

A
  • cardiac cath

* balloon angioplasty = opens narrow area

34
Q

these type of defects result in dexoygenated blood entering the body circulation

A

Decreased pulmonary blood flow

  • Tetralogy of Fallot
  • Tricuspid atresia
35
Q

symptoms of tetraology of fallot

A
  • TET spells
  • Murmur
  • Client blue with crying, feeding, play
  • Chronic hypoxia (clubbing)
36
Q

type of defect where

◦ aorta connected to right ventricle 
◦ pulmonary artery connected to left ventricle
A

Transposition of the great arteries :Mixed Blood Flow Defect

37
Q

defect where Failure of septum to form

A

Truncus arteriosus :: Mixed Blood Flow Defect

38
Q

defect with Underdeveloped left side of heart

A

Hypoplastic left heart syndrome: Mixed Blood Flow Defects

39
Q

how do you do a Critical Congenital Heart Screening?

what do we do if results are abnormal?

A

pulse ox on newborn on right hand and both feet. Look for differences- want <3%
• need to be above 90% on the hand
• repeat if difference >3% - if difference persists –> refer to specialty care

40
Q

S/S of congestive heart failure (7)

A
  • Tachycardia
  • Tachypnea
  • Weight gain
  • Poor Feeding/Growth
  • Fatigue
  • Decreased output
  • Orthopnea
41
Q

considerations for feeding CHF babes?

A
  • Feed every 3 hours
  • Polycose to add calories
  • cluster care- not feeding every hour
42
Q

when do we hold digoxin in an adult?

A

<60 / min

43
Q

patient/ parent education for digoxin?

A

◦ make sure parents can check radial or apical pulse before discharge

A

acute, subacute, convalescent

46
Q

tell me what happen in the acute phases of kawaski
