Lecture 22 - COngenital Disorderes Flashcards
Affecting stoke volume?
valve regurgitation
Affecting heart rate?
arrythmia - slow (complete heart block) and fast (atrial)
Transition from fetal circulation?
pulmonary vascular resistance falls, ductus venosus and arteriosus shuts, right to left shunt via foramen ovale stops due to left atria pressure increase
Ebsteins anomoly?
very large heart, lung hypoplasia
Ductal dependent lesions - pulmonary?
cyanosis at birth, hypoanaemia as duct closes and severe cyanosis & acidosis
Ductal dependency - pulmonary treatment?
prostaglandin E1, manage acidosis, surgery
Ductal dependency - systemic?
cyanosis at birth, progression into acidosis and shock, poor feeding, end-organ damage risk
Treatment of ductal dependent lesion?
prostaglandin E1, ventilation, surgery once stable
Ductal dependence - mixing/
mildly blue, rapidly developing cyanosis
Ductal dependence - mixing treatment?
prostaglandin E1, balloon septostomy, surgery
Refer if?
suspect cyanosis, peripheral pulse difficult to palpate
2-6wk heart failure - why?
pulmonary vascular resistance falls, increasing flow
VSD/PDA and ‘Heart Failure’?
4-6wk, 2-5x s much pulmonary circulation as systemic -> stiff congested lungs with abnormal pulmonary mechanics
Signs of infant heart failure?
RR >50, sweaty, poor feeding and weight gain, tachycardia, hepatomegaly
VSD auscaltatory finding?
murmur from increased pulmonary flow due to decreased resistance
