Reduced blood flow going to the pulmonary artery/ Lungs. (Baby will have less blood being oxygenated)

Ventricular Septal Defect
Aorta over VSD
Pulmonary stenosis
Hypertrophy of Right Ventricle

90
Q

Tetralogy of Fallot

Describe the cause of the following problems:

  1. Mixing of Unoxygenated blood with oxygenated blood
  2. Unable to push adequate blood into the vessel that leads to the lungs.

A
  1. Mixing of Unoxygenated blood with oxygenated blood (Ventriclar Septal Defect) - Hole between the ventricles aloows Unoxygenated (Right side) blood to mix with Oxygenated (Left side)
  2. Unable to push adequate blood into the vessel that leads to the lungs. (Pulmonary Stenosis) Narrowing of Pulmonary Artery
  3. Due to excessive force caused by attempting to push blood through the pulmonary artery. (Right ventricular hypertrophy)
  4. Pumping mixed oxygenated and Deoxygenated blood through the body. (Overriding Aorta) Aorta normally only recieves from the left ventricle. BUT in Overriding Aorta it recieves blood from both ventricles

A

Right to Left

Dangerous

93
Q

Do you want ductus Arteriosus to close quickly after birth in tetralogy of Fallot?
