Q

I corrected VSD, ASD, or PDA leads to PHTN. Increased pulm resistance causes shunt to reverse from L>R to R>L causing late cyanosis (clubbing & polycythemia)

Q

Blood flows from aorta to pulm artery. Additional blood is deoxygenated in lungs & returns to LA & LV -> increased work load -> LVH.

Q

How does squatting help with TOF

A

Increases SVR & aortic pressure, which decreases R -> L shunt so lungs can get more blood. -> increase arterial O2 sat

21
Q

TOF physical findings

A

RV heave, harsh systolic ejection murmur, boot shaped heart on X-ray, right axis deviation/RVH

22
Q

Conditions that increase R -> L shunt

A

Increase PVR or decrease SVR, acidosis, hypercardbia, hypotension

23
Q

TOF surgery

A

Blalock-Taussing shunt (connects subclavian artery to pulm artery “creating duct”, more blood to lungs);
Closing VSD;
Resecting obstruction

24
Q

Foramen of Bochdalek or Morgagni

A

Gut herniates into thorax in diaphragm

25
Q

Most common type of tracheoesophageal fistula

A

Type IIIB

26
Q

3C’s with tracheoesophageal fistula

A

Cyanosis, choking, coughing with feeding

27
Q

Other defects with tracheoesophageal fistula (VATER syndrome)

A

Vertebral defect, Anal atresia, TE fistula, Esophageal atresia, Radial dysplasia

28
Q

Why avoid LR with pyloric stenosis?

A

Met alkalosis and LR is metabolized to bicarb by liver

29
Q

Anesthetic considerations for pyloric stenosis

A

Fix fluid & lytes first, suction/high risk aspiration, high risk resp depression d/t prolonged alkalosis, awake intubation and rapid induction, UO 1-2ml/kg/hr

30
Q

Anesthetic considerations for acute epiglottitis

A

Lateral neck X-ray to determine extent of obstructions, prepare for trach, avoid laryngoscope, inhalation induction in sitting position, intubation with smaller size tube

31
Q

Steeple sign on AP neck film. Strider improves with aerosolized racemic epi

A

Croup

32
Q

Thumbprint sign on lateral neck film

A

Epiglottitis

Subglottic narrowing

A

Tracheitis

34
Q

Cleft palate, small face and glottis

A

Pierre-robin syndrome

35
Q

Small lower jaw, absent or malformed ear, more severe

A

Treacher-collins syndrome

36
Q

1:5000; persistence of herniating of abd contents into umbilical cord, covered w/ peritoneum.
