Q

For hypoplastic left heart syndrome, the patient will either get a Sano or a BT shunt.

What is the next procedure for the child?

A

Bidirectional Glenn

Connects the SVC to the RPA (All pulmonary blood flow both Right lung and left lung would come from SVC)

  • IVC drains normally into the RA

Q

What are the advantages and disadvantages of a Sano procedure for Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (Vs. BT shunt)?

A

Sano

  • Comes off RV (RV to PA conduit)
  • Doesn’t Lower Aortic Diastolic Pressure
  • Disadvantage of BT = Lowers Aorto Diastolic BP (Diastolic runoff to the lungs) and flow from Aorta to the Lungs, Lowers Diastolic perfusion pressure of all your organs (Coronary arteries)

You don’t have that problem with Sano

Disadvantage of Sono = Make a ventriculotomy in the RV (single RV) which is their only ventricle. This hole will increase is size as kid grows (RV aneurysm can happen)

Q

What are the advantages and disadvantages of a BT shunt for Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (Vs. Sano)?

A

BT shunt

Advantage: No ventriculotomy (Unlike the sono)

  • Disadvantage = Lowers Aorto Diastolic BP (Diastolic runoff to the lungs) and flow from Aorta to the Lungs, Lowers Diastolic perfusion pressure of all your organs (Coronary arteries)

Q

What determines the SAO2 in a patient with Hypoplastic Left heart?

3 things

A

Q

What is the function of the reject function of ultrasound?

A

Eliminates very low level (Amplitude) signals decreasing noise on the 2D image

  • When we have very low amplitude signals on 2D grayscale display can be associated with meaningful diagnostic information or meaningless noise

Reject function allows echocardiographer to determine if low amplitude info is displayed or rejected

Q

What is the speed of ultrasound through (Rank fastest to slowest)
Air

Bone

Fat

Lung

Soft Tissue

A

Bone (Fastest speed)

Soft tissue

Fat

Air (Slowest)

27
Q

Does the high pass wall filter utilized for Doppler ultrasound eliminate:

Low frequency signals* or *low amplitude signals?

A

Low frequency signals (Small doppler shift signals)

28
Q

Answer the question

A

B = Mitral E/A and e’ decrease as age increases
