Ductus venosus: purpose, when it closes

A

Allows umb blood to bypass liver, closes w umbilical cord clamping

130
Q

3 things we can effect that increase PVR

A

Light aneasthesia, tburg, and hypercarbia

131
Q

Factors that inc PVR

A

High co2, low 02, acidosis, collapsed alveoli, tburg, low temp, inc sns, light anes, pain

132
Q

Factors that decrease PVR

A

Hypocarbia, adequate 02, alkalosis, hemodilution, vasodilators, nitric

133
Q

Factors that inc SVR

A

Pressers, fluid bolus, inc sns, pain, anxiety

134
Q

Factors that decrease SVR

A

IAs, prop, dec SNS, histamine, anaphylaxis, hemodilution, sepsis

135
Q

Which shunts cause cyanosis, examples

A

R to L. 5 Ts: tet, TGA, tricuspid valve abn, truncus arteriosus, total anomalous pulm venous connection

136
Q

Right to left shunt effect on inhalation and iv inductions

A

IA: slower induc, rate of rise slower (blood bypassing lungs), more profound if less sol (des and n20). IV: faster onset, rx enters systemic circ faster

137
Q

Left to right shunt: examples

A

VSd, asd, pda, coarctation of aorta

138
Q

L to right shunt: patho and goals

A

Dec CO and BP. Inc pulm bf (pulm htn). Goal: avoid inc SVR, avoid dec PVR, dec fio2 and hypoventilation

139
Q

Eisenmengers syndrome occurs when

A

When L to R shunt pt gets pulm htn, causes flow reversal and cyanosis

140
Q

Tet of fallot defects

A

Vsd, aorta overrides RV and lv, pulm stenosis, RV hypertrophy

141
Q

Tet of fallot goals

A

Minimize r to l shunt by inc SVR dec PVR maintaining contractility and hr, inc preload

142
Q

Tet of fallot: things and drugs to avoid

A

Vasodilation (want to inc SVR), high co2/acidosis and low 02 (want to dec PVR), sns stim/ephedrine/dobutamine/epi (want to maintain hr)

143
Q

Tet of fallot: good drugs

A

Phenylephrine, nitric, esmolol, crystalloid, albumin

144
Q

Tet of fallot: best induc agent, avoid drugs that do what, ekg

A

Ketamine. Avoid histamine releasers. Right axis deviation

145
Q

Most common pediatric vs adult congenital cardiac anomaly

A

Ped= VSD. Adult= bicuspid aortic valve

146
Q

Where coarctation of aorta occurs

A

Narrowing of thoracic aorta before or after ductus arteriosus. Rarely prox to L subclavian

147
Q

Which coarctation of aorta more common in neonate v adult

A

Neonate= preductal, adult=postductal

148
Q

Coarctation of aorta: patho, what can cause hemodynamic collapse

A

Inc LV afterload, SBP elev in upper extrem and dec in Lower extrem. PDA closure
