Peds Flashcards
Look bypasses lungs
Blood entering RV & PA bypasses lungs via ductus arteriosis
Pulmonary circulation is passed by
Placental blood passes thru Foramen ovale to LA
What happens to PVR & SVR in fetus
PVR is high & SVR is low
Birth changes to PBF, PVR, SVR,
PBF up, PVR down, PV return up
Umbilical clamping what happens
Inc SVR & BP - immediate
Activates Baroreceptors, inc LAP/MAP, dec PAP
What happens to FO at birth
Inc venous return to LA - FO closes (days to months)
Why ductus arteriosus constricts
Dec prostaglandins
Inc in blood O2 concentration
DA closes - pulmonary blood flow & O2 uptake inc
What can u do to keep DA open
Prostaglandin gtts,
avoid high oxygen
PNS vs SNS in neonate
PNS fully developed, while SNS is not till 4-6 months
