shunting from right to left
Cyanotic Heart Defects
opening between 2 ventricles
Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD)
Systolic murmur at lower border of the sternum and no other significant sign
Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD)
hypertrophy of the right side of the heart
Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD)
Only 50% of the oxygenated blood will go to the aorta
Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD)
Management for VSD:
- Open heart surgery
- Long term antibiotic
- Protect site of catheterization
- Avoid flexion of joints
site of catheterization for VSD
right femoral vein
failure of the foramen ovale to close
Atrial Septal Defect (ASD)
In ASD, 50% of the blood goes to the ____
right atrium
Systolic murmur at the upper border of the sternum with no significant sign
Atrial Septal Defect (ASD)
Management for ASD:
- Open heart surgery
- Long term antibiotic therapy
failure of the Ductus Arteriosus to close
Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA)
- Prominent radial pulse
- Continuous machinery like murmur
- ECG reveals hypertrophy of the left ventricle
