- Describe fetal cardiac circulation.
2. Fetal circulation uses __ to __ shunts
R–> L shunts
- Fetus receives nutrients and O2 from placenta–> IVC–> RA–>
- RA–> 2/3rd of blood goes through foramen ovale–> LA–> LV–> aorta–> body
- RA—> RV–> PA–> ductus arteriosus connects aorta w/ PA shunting blood away from lungs–> mixed blood travels to head and body and back to the placenta
- blood arrives via umbilical vein–> Ductus venosus shunts oxygenated blood from placenta away from liver to heart
As baby takes its first breath, __ sided pressures become > than the ___ side pressure promoting closure of the FO and DA
Left > Right
- ___ keeps the ductus arteriosus patent

Hypoplastic L heart syndrome is due to the failure of the development of:
MV, AV or aortic arch leading to small ventricle
What is infant respiratory distress syndrome
(hyaline membrane disease)

*Surfactant production begins __ weeks and by __ weeks enough surfactant is produced
24-28 weeks
35 wks
Risk factors for infant respiratory distress syndrome
- Caucasian males (2x MC)
- C-section (stress causes cortisol production)
- perinatal infections
- multiple births (esp. if prematures)

Infant respiratory distress syndrome
TX: Exogenous surfactant given to open alveoli (via ET tube), CPAP
Corticosteroids is given to mature lungs if premature delivery is expected at ___ wks
24-36 wks
- post-term infant w/ tachypnea, tachycardia, retractions, nasal flaring

Meconium aspiration
TX:
- Prevent postmature delivery >41 wks (prevent is most effective therapy**)

SIDS
*infants sleeping in the prone position is the strongest modifiable RISK FACTOR
