Peds Exam 1 - Blood, Heart, Perfusion Flashcards
what are the examples of an increase in pulmonary flow for a cardiac defect
VSD
AVD
PDA
what happens with the congenital heart defect that increases pulmonary flow
the left heart is hypertrophied, pressure increase
increase in lung circulation
wet lung sounds increase in respiratory rate increase in metabolic rate increase in heart rate poor feeding and fatigue frequent respiratory infections
all are symptoms of what?
heart defect – increase in pulmonary flow
nursing considerations for VSD
supplement nutrition
strict intake and output –> CHF
what happens during a restrict in blood flow
obstruction in blood flow to right heart, decrease in oxygenated blood
dyspnea cyanosis that does not improve from o2 loud murmur fatigue while feeding knee to chest positioning in child is an example of what congenital heart defect
restrict in blood flow
what are the types of heart defects that restrict blood flow
tetralogy of fallot
coarction of the aorta
hypo plastic left heart
what are the defects in tetralogy of fallot
pulmonary stenosis
overriding aorta
right ventricular hypertrophy
VSD
what is an outcome of teratology of fallot
a tet spell
characteristics of a tet spell
diminish in heart murmur
rapid deep breathing
worsening cyanosis
uncontrollable crying and panic
what can cause a tet spell
agitation and crying
early morning after awakening
noxious stimuli
what is a bad sign during a tet spell
heart murmur goes to bay
why is a diminished heart murmur bad during a tet spell
pulmonary blood flow is severely compromised
what makes up a tet treatment
positioning
reducing irritable stimuli
oxygen
opiods
during tachycardia in a child - what meds would be best
lanoxin
lasix
Ace inhibitors
what would be good education for a child with a increase in pulmonary flow heart defect (i.e. PDA, AVD,VSD)
it may close!
if before 6 mos old
opening in atrial septum
AVD
blood shunted into the pulmonary artery
VSD
mix of pulmonary blood into aorta
PDA
what is affected during hypoplastic heart
mitral, left ventricle, aortic valve
why does hypo plastic left heart happen
the left side of the heart is under developed
what is the coarction of the heart?
skinny narrow part of the aorta
manifestations of CHF
dyspnea
tachypnea
intercostal retractions
what is rheumatic fever
autoimmune connective tissue disorder
