Pediatrics Cardiovascular Flashcards
S1 is?
Lub sound
small valves close
Mitral/Tricuspid (AV) valves close
Aortic/ pulmonic (semilunar) valve open
S2 is?
Dub sound
large valves closeAortic/ pulmonic (semilunar) valves close
Mitral/Tricuspid (AV) valves open
S3
Kentucky sound
S4
not usual sound
-further investigation needed
Auscultation Areas
Aortic: RUSB
Pulmonic: LUSB
Aortic/ Mitral: Erbs points/ 3rd intercostal space
Ventricular Septal defect or tricuspid: LLSB
Murmur loudness scale
grades
1- soft, barely audible
2-clearly audible but faint
3-MODERATELY LOUD
4-loud w/ thrill
5-Loud, heard w/ part stethoscope on chest and thrill palpable
6-Very loud, heard W/OUT stethoscope, thrill palpable and visible
Most common of all congenital heart defects?
Ventral Septal defect (VSD)
-THRILL
-LLSB
Types of Herat defects in pediatrics
-Acyanotic (left to right shunting)
-Cyanotic (right to left shunting)
-obstructive lesions
Types of Acyanotic Defects
ASD
VSD
PDA
Atrial Septal Defect (ASD)
Acyanotic Septal Defect
left to right shunting
-LUSB
-some small ASDs close w/out intervention
-medium to large require sx intervention
Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD)
Acyanotic Septal Defect
left to right shunting
-ThriLL=LLSB
-a holosystolic thrill may be felt at LLSB
Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA)
Acyanotic Septal Defect
left to right shunting
PDA = PREMATURE DUCTUS ARTERIOSUS
-PDA usually closes right by delivery, so premies are at high risk
Murmus: LUSB
grade 2 II to IV holosystolic
-“machinery” sound
-for premature. infants, prostaglandin. inhibitors (ibuprofen, indomethacin)
Transposition of the Great Arteries
Cyanotic Defects
(right to left shunting)
XR shows “egg on a string”, w/ cardiomegaly and increased pulmonary vascular markings
Tetralogy of Fallot
Cyanotic Defects
(right to left shunting)
Four Defects
1-large VSD
2-Pulmonary Stenosis
3-Overriding Aorta
4-RVH
-Murmur: loud systolic ejection click
-heard middle and upper left sternal border M-LUSB
XR- boot shaped heart
tet spells- child running and then squats=increases vascular resistence
Obstructive Lesion for heart defects in pediatics
Aortic Stenosis
Pulmonic Stenosis
Coarctation of the Aorta
