Q

What is the consequence of a patent DV in a neonate needing surgery the day after being born?

25
What is the clinical consequence of reopening FO & DA?
Hypoxia worsens (due to blood bypassing lungs)
26
What conditions can prolong transitional circulation?
27
In the neonate, is the RV or the LV thicker?
RV
28
What is the electrical consequence of a neonate having a thickened RV?
180° axis
29
Why are neonates rate dependent for CO?
Cardiac tissue is less contractile (inability to change SV).
30
What are the consequences of neonates having immature myofibrils and sarcoplasmic reticulums?
- Sensitivity to CCBs & citrated PRBCs - Ca⁺⁺ exchange more dependent on sarcolemma - Ca⁺⁺ replacement more necessary than in adults. - ---
31
What is the consequence of neonates having immature autonomic innervation?
Inability to respond to stress (fever, acidosis, etc.)
32
Left to Right shunts are known as ______ shunts.
Acyanotic
33
Name examples of Left-to-Right shunts.
- ASD - VSD - PDA - Coarctation of the Aorta
34
What is the PVR in Acyanotic shunts?
↓PVR
35
What is the consequence of low PVR in Left-to-Right shunts?
- Pulmonary blood flow increases - Pulmonary volume overload - ↑ LV workload (CHF?)
36
What should be avoided in left-to-right shunts?
- Vasodilators - 100% FiO₂ - ↓ PCO₂ - Alkalosis
37
What are the hemodynamic features of a Left-to-Right shunt?
- ↑ pulmonary perfusion - ↓ CO - ↓ BP - LV overload
38
Cyanotic shunts are also known as _______ shunts.
Right-to-Left
39
Why do Right-to-Left shunts occur?
PVR or Pulmonary outflow tract pressure > than SVR.
40
What are the features of Cyanotic shunts?
- ↓ Pulmonary Blood Flow - Deoxygenated blood in circulation - Systemic Hypoxia - RV failure
41
What are examples of Cyanotic shunts?
- TOF - Transposition - Truncus Arteriosus - Hypoplastic Left Heart
42
What should be avoided in Right-to-Left shunts?
- SNS stimulation - ↓ FiO₂ - ↑ PCO₂ - Acidosis
43
How will an inhaled induction change when comparing a patient with Right-to-Left vs a patient with Left-to-Right shunt?
Right-to-Left - Prolonged inhaled induction Left-to-Right - Normal inhaled induction
44
Why are inhaled inductions slower in Right-to-Left shunt patients?
Blood is bypass lungs thus slower uptake of VAA.
45
What type of cardiac defect is defined as having pulmonary & systemic O₂ saturations that are almost identical?
Mixing lesions
46
What is an example of a mixing lesion?
Truncus Arteriosus
47
What are examples of obstructive lesions?
- Aortic Stenosis - Coarctation of the Aorta
48
What is the hemodynamic result of severe obstructive lesions?
Overloaded ventricle just proximal to the lesion. - Profound ventricular failure - Impaired coronary circulation - Systemic ↓BP - Hypoxemia
49
Obstructive lesions require the _____ to provide systemic flow.
PDA (patent ductus arteriosus)
50
Why does PVR decrease so quickly after birth?
Due to Lung expansion & oxygenation
51
Infant PVR has reach adult pressure levels by ____ of age.
6 months
52
What things increase PVR?
- PEEP - Atelectasis - ↓ FiO₂ - Acidosis - ↑ H/H - ↑ SNS - Direct surgical stimulation - Vasoconstrictors

54
NO is a _______ pulmonary vasodilator.
selective
55
What is the typical inhaled NO dose?
20 - 40 ppm

Why should NO be discontinued slowly?
Abrupt discontinuation can cause rebound pHTN.

True
58

- Two pulse oximeters (one on right hand and one on left foot)
62
If your left foot pulse oximeter loses its reading during a PDA repair, what would the CRNA expect?
Aorta may be clamped
63
What is the most common cyanotic heart defect?
Tetralogy of Fallot
64
What are the four components of ToF?
- VSD - Overriding Aorta - RV outflow obstruction - RV Hypertrophy
65
What are TET spells?
Episodes where stress (crying, feeding, acidosis, surgical stimulation) causes epidoses of hypercyanosis & worsening RV outflow obstruction.
66
What are components of anesthesia for TOF repair?
- Preop sedation (to prevent TET spells) - 100 FiO₂ - β blockade
67
What option (other than complete repair) is there for TOF patients?
Blalock-Taussig Shunt Systemic-Pulmonary shunt - From subclavian artery to branch pulmonary artery.
68
What are the components of Transposition of the Great Arteries? (ToGA)
- Aorta comes off the RV - Pulmonary Artery comes off the LV - Some mixing via PDA or VSD
69
What allows for a patient with ToGA to live despite this defect?
Oxygenated blood mixing via PDA or VSD
70
What would indicate an urgent/emergent repair of ToGA?
ToGA w/ no VSD (no mixing = no oxygenation)
71
What are the features of Truncus Arteriosus?
- Fusion of PA & Aorta - Common valve between PA & Aorta - Large VSD

Truncus Arteriosus is associated with what syndrome?
DiGeorge Syndrome
73
Besides DiGeorge syndrome, what other abnormalities are associated with Truncus Arteriosus?
