NICU boards cards 1 Flashcards
What types of shock can sepsis present as?
Hypovolemic or distributive
In hypovolemic shock, what are the changes in CO, ventricular filling, and stroke volume?
Ventricular filling: decreased
CO: decreased
SV: decreased
In distributive shock, what are the changes in circulating blood volume and ventricular filling?
Ventricular filling: decreased
Normal circulating blood volume
What type of heart sound occurs with PHTN?
single or narrowly split, loud S2
What is the first and second most common cyanotic heart disease presenting in 1st week of birth?
1st: TGA
2nd: HLHS (this is most common cause of mortality in 1st week)
What is most common overall congenital heart defect? What type is most common?
VSD
peri membranous - muscular most likely to close
What is most common cyanotic heart disease beyond infancy?
Tetralogy of Fallot
What are the L to R shunt congenital heart defects?
VSD, PDA, ASD, complete AV canal, Partial anomalous pulmonary venous return
What is L-TGA?
- congenitally corrected heart disease, «1% of all congenital heart disease
- aortic valve is to LEFT (hence L) of pulmonary valve
- no need to have shunt between 2 circulations
- high assoc w other cardiac defects
- acyanotic w mnimal resp distress if no other issues - but majority will have other cardiac defects so will be cyanotic
- single S2
Most common type of prenatal poor tracing?
Variables
With what cardiac anatomy do you have reversed differential cyanosis?
D-TGA with PDA, intact ventricular septum, and one of the following:
- PHTN
- coA
- interrupted aortic arch
What murmur with DTGA?
Loud and sigle S2
- loud bc aortic valve below sternum & anterior
- single: pulmonary valve is posterior and not heard
DTGA: is there CHF? What type of hypertrophy?
Yes CHF secondary to left sided overload
RVH, can have R atrial hypertrophy and can also have combined ventricular hypertrophy if large VSD PDA PS LVOT obstruction
Has R QRS axis
What type of VSD is found in TGA?
Typically perimembranous, always large and unrestrictive, so LVP equal RVP’s
Murmur with tetralogy?
PS murmur only if small, VSD murmur if pink tet (since effect of L->R VSD shunt will be more minimal), otherwise S2 often single and loud (because aorta is anterior when overriding)
Murmur with pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum?
Single s2, no other murmur
EKG with pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum?
Normal QRS axis
(TA has a superior/R axis)
LVH, RVH since RV is hypoplastic and hypertrophied in most cases
How does mixing occur with pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum?
Requires ASD/PFO with PDA to survive
How does mixing occur with truncus arteriosis?
Large VSD ALWAYS present
What kind of pulse pressure with truncus arteriosis?
Wide pulse pressure and bounding pulses from diastolic runoff in PA
EKG findings with tricuspid atresia
L axis deviation
Ebstein’s anomaly - what types of shunts?
80/90% have ASD with R to L shunt
Also requires PDA with L to R flow for adequate pulmonary blood flow
EKG findings with Ebstein’s
RBBB, WPW, RA enlargement, occasional 1st degree AV block
What other anomalies is single ventricle associated with?
Higher risk of asplenia or polysplenia
What causes a single S2?
- When one valve is absent, like in pulmonary atresia or truncus arteriosis
- or when both valves close at same time due to equal ventricular pressures, like double outlet single ventricle or VSD with equal ventricular pressures
What shunts are required for systemic oxygenated blood flow with TAPVR?
ASD or PFO (R to L shunt)
Types of TAPVR?
Supracardiac (most common) - PV to SVC via innominate, azygous, or direct
Cardiac - PV into RA directly (or indirectly via coronary sinus)
Infracardiac/Subdiaphragmatic - PV crosses diaphragm, drains into portal/hepatic vein or IVC
Mixed
Presenting sxs of obstructive TAPVR
Majority subdiaphragmatic/infracardiac are obstructive
- cyanosis
- resp distress
- decreased systemic perfusion
Presenting sxs of nonobstructive TAPVR
Majority cardiac or supracardiac are nonobstructive
- mild to mod cyanosis (depending on degree of mixing across ASD)
- wildely split and fixed S2 - quadruple rhythm
Most common cause CHF after 2nd week of age?
VSD
What are the constrictors of PDA?
O2, PGF2a, acetylcholine, bradykinin
What are the dilators of PDA?
PGE1, PGI2 (prostacyclin), hypoxemia, acidosis
What is the ekg finding with complete av canal?
Left superior (left atrial) QRS axis bc of posterior and inferior rotation of AV node and anatomical abnormality of HIS bundle. Often has 1st degree AV block/prolonged PR
RVH, +/- LVH
is PAPVR symptomatic?
Often asymptomatic, usually ASD murmur with fixed split S2, can have increased heart size, amt of pulm blood flow dependent on # of anomalous pulm veins, ASD size and presence, and degree of PVR
