pediatric CV disorders. CHD Flashcards
The force of blood in the arteries when the heart beats (when the heart muscle contracts)
Systolic BP
The force of blood in the arteries when the heart is at rest
Diastolic BP
In fetal circulation, oxygenation of the blood occurs in the _____. not the ____
placenta
lungs
Fetal pulmonary resistance is ____
high
The _____ the opening in the septum between the 2 atria, permits a portion of the blood to flow from the right atrium directly to the left atrium.
foramen ovale
A ____ provides a connection between the pulmonary artery and the aorta that allows blood to flow from the pulmonary artery to the aorta and bypass fetal lungs.
patent ductus arterosus (PDA)
_____ 2 parallel circuits with the left ventricle supplying blood to the upper extremites and the right ventricle supplying the lower extremities and placenta.
fetal circulation
In neonatal circulation, the first breath the newborn takes, spurs the inflation of the lungs and increase in the o2 sat brings a dramatic fall in pulmonary vascular resistance, and increased pulmonary blood flow- that begins to constrict the _____.
As the pressures within the heart become higher on the left side and lower on the right the_____ closes
ductus arterosus
foramen ovale
functional closure of the ductus arteriosus and foramen ovale usually occurs within ____.
the transition towards complete anatomic closure is more gradual over the first ____ of life
first hours to days of life
2 to 8 weeks
at the time of ventricular contraction, the beginning of ____ , the mitral and tricuspid valves close and produce the 1st heart sound S1 “lubb”
systole
After the blood has been ejected the _____ , the mitral vlave and tricuspid valve open and aortic and pulmononic valve close to keep blood from rushing back into ventricles— this closure results in the ____
heart relaxes
2nd heart sound S2 “dupp”
The term _____ implies that a cardiovascular malformation at birth doesn’t mean its the cause of problem
congenital heart disease, (CHD)
the heart is formed by ___ of fetal life
up to ____% of children with CHD also have non cardiac abnormalities
6 weeks
25%
How should heart rate be obtained?
and what age??
by auscultation
younger than 10yrs
pulses must be checked in upper and lower extremities.
A bounding pulse may indicate____ ______.
A weak or thread pulse may indicate___ ____
PDA or aortic insufficiency
CHF, obstructive lesion (such as severe aortic stenosis)
Good brachial pulses and weak or absent femoral pulses may indicate ____________
Coarctation of aorta (COA)
What age should BP’s be measured annually ?
can always do it younger children if suspicious of heart disease.
3 years old
_____ is the difference between systolic and diastolic pressure
pulse pressure
the normal pulse pressure is ______ thru out childhood
20 to 50 mm HG
a respiratory rate above ___ in a young child or more than ___in an infant who is quiet , resting and afebrile warrants further evaluation
40
60
obtain ____in new babies or new pts because cyanosis is often subtle and isn’t always visible
O2 saturation
what % of children may have a murmur…..especially beginning at 3 to 4 years old
80%
murmur-intensity —barely audible
Grade I
murmur intensity—audible with stethoscope off chest
grade VI
murmur intensity— loud with a thrill
grade IV
murmur intensity —soft but easily audible
grade II
murmur intensity—moderately loud without a thrill: roughly as loud as S1 /S2
grade III
murmur intensity— audible with stethoscope barely on chest
grade V
A murmur in a pt with a genetic syndrome such as trisomy 21 needs __________
to be referred to pedi cardiology
what type of murmur always needs to be referred????
DIASTOLIC (on test)**** is a possible pathologic problem
