peds cardiology Flashcards
1
Q
what do weaker pulses in LE suggest
A
- coarctation
2
Q
what do bounding pulses suggest
A
- run off lesion
- PDA, AI
3
Q
what is pulsus paradoxus and what does it suggest
A
- exaggerated SBP drop with inspiration
- tamponade
- severe asthma
4
Q
what delivers oxygen in the fetal circulation
A
- placenta
5
Q
what does the umbilical v carry
A
- oxygenated blood
6
Q
how many vessels are found in the umbilical cord
A
- 1 vein
- 2 arteries
7
Q
what happens when cord is clamped
A
- clamped 30-60 sec after birth- allows BF to baby
- once clamped SVR is increased
- arteries are low resist pathways, closure at birth -> signif increase in SVR
8
Q
what happens when baby starts to breath
A
- lungs fill with air instead of fluid
- causes higher oxygen levels in blood
- alveoli filled with air -> lung expansion
- aeration causes decreased pulm v resistance and increased pulm BF
9
Q
ductus venosis
A
- connects umbilical v to inferior vena cava
- bypasses liver
- carries oxygenated blood
- closes d/t fall in umbilical v pressure
10
Q
foramen ovale
A
- during transition the R -> L flow may occur through foramen ovale
- closure occurs initially as functional change
- later dev anatomic closure d/t proliferation of endothelial and fibrous tissue
11
Q
ductus arteriosus
A
- protects lungs from being overloaded before birth
- should functionally close within 24-48 hours
- structurally closes with a few weeks
- decreased pulm, decreased prostaglandin E2, and increased O2 sat causes closure
12
Q
size of ventricles at birth compared to later
A
- at birth RV and LV are equal in size
- end of first mo LV wall gets thicker, RV wall gets thinner
13
Q
adult version of foramen ovale
A
- fossa ovalis
14
Q
adult version of umbilical v
A
- ligamentum teres
15
Q
adult version of ductus venosus
A
- ligamentum venosus
16
Q
adult version of ductus arteriosum
A
- ligamentum arteriosum
17
Q
grade I murmur
A
- very soft
- heard in quiet room with a cooperative pt
