Clinical presentation of pulmonary atresia with intact septum include which of the following?
severe cyanosis, mild tachypnea, murmur
In cases of pulmonary atresia with intact Ventricular septum the cardiac size is dependent on the
amount of tricuspid regurgitation
In obstructive lesions, cardiomegaly occurs because of
hypertrophy
The greatest source of error in interpreting cardiac size is
poor inspiration
the neonate’s heart is normally globular at birth because the
right ventricular is enlarged (in adults its smaller than the left ventricular)
In the neonate what is the normal orientation of the heart in the chest cavity?
almost equally to the R and L of the mediastinum

What defect AO originates from R vent and PA from LV?
Transposition of the Great Vessels
What defects of more common in term males 2:1
Transposition of the Great Vessels
What treatment is recommended for Transposition of the Great Vessels?
Prostin first and then balloon septostomy to improve interatrial mixing
when the BP is >15mmHg higher in the upper than the lower?
Coarctation of aorta
What defect is when the RV supplies pulmonary and systemic blood flow via PDA?

Temperature increase (fever) and Apnea
In PPHN what causes hypoxemia?
extrapulmonary R to L shunting to the FO/ PDA
What is the oxygen index equation?
FiO2 X mean airway pressure / Postductal PaO2 = 100
What obstruction may have transient improvement with iNO followed by deterioration
Pulmonary venous obstruction
iNO causes toxicity by hemoglobin turning into Methemoglobin then causing ____
tissue hypoxia

Fetal Ductus
What is the PATHOphysiology of PDA?
resistance of pulmonary and systemic circulations
What is the #1 mngt for PDAs?
fluid restriction
What is the respiratory mngt for PDA is already on vent?
Increase CPAP or iTime
What are 4 transient SEs of indomethacin?
- Renal dysfunction (decrease renal output)
- hyponatremia (dilutional)
- Plt dysfunction
- Displacement of bili from sites
What are 3 contraindications for tx with indomethacin?
