Pedi Cards Flashcards
Thrills suggest what in peds
anatomic abnormality
RV heave= what in peds
RV hypertension
Differential pulses, weak in the lower extremities=
CoArc
Bounding pulse= ???
bounding pulse
Weak pule=
cardiogenic shock or CoArc
Pulsus paradoxus (exaggerated SBP drop with inspiration)= ???
tamponade or severe asthma
Pulsus alternans= ??
LV mechanical dysfunction
What must you identify when listening to heart sounds in kids
S1 and S2
Mid-systolic click= ???
MVP
Loud S2= ??
pulmonary HTN
Fixed, splits S2= ??
ASD, PS
S3 gallop—>
may be due to cardiac dysfunction/volume overload
Muffled heart sounds and/or a rub—>
pericardial effusion +/- tamponade
What are the types of murmurs
- systolic ejection murmur= turbulence across a valve
- holosystolic murmur- turbulence begins w/ systole
- continuous murmur= pressure difference in systole and diastole
Shunts present in the fetus and where they shunt blood
- ductus venosus: bypasses liver
- foramen ovale: R to L arterial shunt
- ductus arteriosus: R to L arterial shunt
Holosystolic murmurs in babies have what
palpable thrill
What happens when you clamp the umbilical cord
systemic vascular resistance is increased
Ductus venousus connects what
umbilical vein to inferior vena cava, bypassing the liver
Why does the ductus venosus close
due to fall in umbilical vein pressure
What promotes lung expansion at birth
the alveoli filling with air instead of fluid
Aeration of lungs at birth leads to what
- decreased pulmonary vein resistance
- increased pulmonary blood flow
How does the foramen ovale close
proliferation of enothelial and fibrous tissue
