Unit One Flashcards
A paternalistic approach with a narrower perspective; care team is viewed as having the expertise.
Health care team puts together a plan of care in which they (the healthcare team) deem to be in the patients and families best interest. The patient/family is minimally involved in the assessment and planning but then expected to follow through with recommendations
Family Focused Care
A collaborative approach with a broader perspective.
Family is involved in all phases of assessment and planning; the team and the family each bring a different but essential and respected expertise to the table.

What is the normal flow of the heart?
Superior and inferior vena cava bring oxygen-poor blood to the right atrium –> right ventricle –> pulmonary artery to the lungs
Reoxygenated blood leaves the lungs moves through the pulmonary veins to the left atrium –> left ventricle –> aorta –> rest of the body
S/S associated with heart defects:
- Pink-typically normal oxygen saturations
- May be asymptomatic
- Blood shunts from left to right
- Symptoms include:
Fatigue
Feeding difficulties
Respiratory distress
Acyanotic Defect
S/S associated with heart defects:

Cyanotic Defect
Heart Defect:
- One great vessel leaving the heart instead of aorta and pulmonary artery
- VSD present
- Cyanosis is early sign, tachypnea, diaphoresis, CHF
- Treatment: surgery (separating pulmonary arteries from main truncus; Close VSD; Create connection between right ventricle and pulmonary arteries)
-Causes oxygen-poor and oxygen-rich blood to mix in the same artery
Truncus Arteriosus
Heart Defect:
- The aorta and pulmonary artery are reversed
- Results in 2 separate circulatory systems that do not mix (pulmonary artery comes off the left side instead of the right)
- Profound cyanosis due to the lack of oxygen from the reversed great arteries
- Prostaglandins to keep PDA open to allow mixing of blood
Transposition of Great Arteries (TGA)
What are the treatment options for TGA?
- Balloon atrial septostomy
- Arterial switch within first week or two of life
Heart Defect:
- Narrowing of the aorta
- Will get worse if PDA closes - try and keep open
- Blood pressure increased in upper extremities and decreased in lower extremities
- At risk for aortic rupture, aortic aneurysm
- Difficulty feeding, chest pain (older children with mild defect), easily fatigued, poor perfusion to lower extremities
Coarctation of the Aorta
Heart Defect:
- Left side of the heart is underdeveloped
- Right ventricle overworked
- PDA must be kept open
- Low oxygen saturations = cyanosis (Avoid oxygen supplementation
Treatment:

- Limits blood flow to lungs
- Appear cyanotic, especially as PDA closes
- “Tet spells”
- Surgically repaired
Tetralogy of Fallot
Heart Defect:
- Blood flows from the aorta to pulmonary artery
- This is a normal finding in utero but should close on own after birth
- If not, extra blood flow to the lungs can overload the lungs
- Symptoms: fast breathing, a hard time breathing, more respiratory infections, tire more easily, poor growth
- Treatment: ibuprofen, surgery/cardiac cath
Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA)
Heart Defect:
- Hole between right & left atria - seen in utero but should close after birth
- Left to right shunting - oxygenated blood mixes with deoxygenated blood
- Typically asymptomatic
- Treatment: may close on its own, cardiac catheterization, open-heart surgery
- Many kids go years without detection - chronic high BP readings are an indicator
Atrial Septal Defect
Heart Defect:
- Hole between right and left ventricles
- Most close on their own, especially if small
- Left to right shunting
- Can be asymptomatic
- Shortness of breath, feeding difficulties, failure to thrive

Comminuted fracture
Occurs when a small chunk of bone attached to a tendon or ligament gets pulled away from the main part of the bone - “chip fracture” commonly seen in the elbow
Avulsion fracture
Occurs when one of the bones is broken with a twisting motion - creates a fracture line that wraps around the bone and looks like a corkscrew
