Q

What causes physiologic splitting of S2?

A

Respiratory inspiration

  • increase blood to R heart
  • increase blood into RV
  • delays emptying of RV
  • prolongs closure of S2

30
Q

MC innocent heart murmur (age 3-6)

A

Stills

31
Q

describe what a Stills murmur sounds like

A

low frequency

musical vibratory sound

32
Q

describe what a venous hum murmur sounds like

A

continuous murmur (R > L)

diastolic louder than systolic

33
Q

What is Acrocyanosis?

A
  • benign varient
  • peripheral cyanosis
  • no central cyanosis
  • nl pulses
  • no pathological murmur

=give reassurance

34
Q

What does tachypnea in a newborn indicate?

A

L > R shunt

  • PVR needs to fall (higher L > R shunt)
  • CXR, wet lungs, large heart
35
Q

What does cyanosis in a newborn indicate?

A

R>L shunt or obstruction to lungs

  • “blue” > cyanosis
  • low saturation
  • CXR “Low PBF”
36
Q

what does “grey baby” indicate in a newborn?

A

decreased of no systemic blood flow

  • poor perfusion (no pulse, cap refill)
  • lactic acidosis
37
Q

Acyanotic characteristics

A
  • L > R shunt
  • nl O2 sats
  • volume overload
  • cardiomegaly
  • increase PBF
  • “wet lungs”
  • enlarged pulmonary artery
38
Q

What does atrial septal defect cause?

A
  • R heart volume overload
  • fixed or widened S2 pulmonary component
  • LUSB -SOB, fatigue
39
Q

What does ventricular septal defect cause?

A
  • L heart volume overload
  • decrease PVR and size
  • harsh, holosystolic murmur LSB
40
Q

What does patent ductus arteriosus cause?

A
  • L heart volume overload
  • sx of heart failure
  • LUSB
  • continuous, machinery murmur
41
Q

Characteristic of arterioventricular canal defect?

What maintains patency of PDA (patent ductus arteriosus)?

A

44
Q

If there is an obstruction to pulmonary blood flow:
