Question
Answer
congenital heart defects associated with genetic abnormalities   when caring for a child with a syndrome, just know that there are certain possible heart defects that you should be concerned about  
🗑
Congenital Heart Defects   a child born to a mother/father who have a congenital heart defect are at increased risk for having a congenital heart defect  
🗑
what happens if the ductus doesn't close?   increased pulmonary pressure, decreased systemic pressure  
🗑
PDA - premature Tx   Indocin/Indomethacin; Lateral thoracotomy  
🗑
PDA - infant and older Tx   transcatheter coil closure  
🗑
prostaglandin E inhibitor   Indocin and Indomethacin.  
🗑
Prostaglandin E   keeps the ductus open. an inhibitor closes it.  
🗑
lateral thoracotomy   surgical ligation of the ductus  
🗑
transcatheter coil closure   catheter up vena cava, RA, tricuspid valve, to pulmonary artery, leave the coil in the ductus, blood clots around it, clots off ductus.  
🗑
PDA   Patent Ductus Arteriosus. blood flows from aorta into pulmonary arteries.  
🗑
VSD   Ventricular Septal Defect- blood flows from LV to RV  
🗑
what happens with VSD?   pulmonary pressure increases, systemic pressure decreases.  
🗑
ASD   Atrial Septal Defect - blood flows from LA to RA.  
🗑
What is the management for ASD or VSD?   treat CHF. surgical - interventional cardiac catheterization or open heart surgery (vortex patch). atrial dysrhythmias (electrical pathway is interrupted).  
🗑
what types of cardiac conditions do you see CHF?   ASD, VSD, PDA, AS, CoA, cardiomyopathy, rheumatic heart disease, Kawaskai's disease, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and much more.  
🗑
CHF - Management Goals   improve cardiac Fx. remove accumulated fluids and Na+. decreased cardiac demands. improve tissue oxygenation.  
🗑
CHF Meds   Digoxin. Diuretics. O2.  
🗑
Dig Tox S/Sx   anorexia. nausea. vomiting. pulse irregularities.  
🗑
CHF - Nursing Management   avoid increasing cardiac demands. monitor weight. admin meds/O2. accurate/strict I&Os. protect from infection.  
🗑
interventricular cardiac catheterization   insert device into septum, open "umbrella", pull back a bit, open other "umbrella", now the hole is closed.  
🗑
ADS and VDS closer with device risk   Atrial Dysrhythmias. these devices go right what the electrical current goes.  
🗑
obstructions to systemic blood flow   aortic stenosis coartication of the aorta.  
🗑
aortic stenosis   valvue doesn't open all the way. not much blood can leave the heart, decreased systemic blood flow.  
🗑
effects of AS   poor tissue perfusion, cyanosis. increased workload for LV --> LV hypertrophy, blood into the lungs. exercise intolerance.  
🗑
coartication of the aorta (CoA)   narrowing outside of the heart. lower BP in lower extremities (<8mmHg diff = significant).  
🗑
why is BP normal or near normal in upper extremities with CoA?   upper extremities get their normal blood flow usually, through the subclavian arteries.  
🗑
CoA Tx   end-to-end anastomosis  
🗑
decreased pulmonary blood flow causes   pulmonary stenosis (subvavular, valvular, peripheral). Tetralogy of Fallot.  
🗑
Pulmonary stenosis   depends how much blood is getting to the lungs (can be incompatible with life). will likely be cyanotic.  
🗑
Pulmonary Stenosis Tx   catheter through the vena cava, open balloon to open the valve, then pull out the balloon.  
🗑
Tetralogy of Fallot (what is the Tet?)   1. VSD. 2. pulmonary stenosis (below or at the level of the valve). 3. overriding aorta (sites over the ventricular aorta). 4. R ventricular hypertrophy.  
🗑
"pink tet"   not a severe FoT. not too much pulmonary stenosis. no/little blood blood passing into the aorta.  
🗑
when is FoT usually repaired?   at birth.  
🗑
What is a "tet spell"?   activity, L valve narrows, less blood to lungs, child turns very dark blue.  
🗑
What will a ToF child do when having a "tet spell"?   squat down.  
🗑
Decreased pulmonary blood flow Tx   prostaglandin E. O2 management. surgery.  
🗑
decreased pulmonary blood flow - prostaglandin E   to keep the ductus open until new ductus can be made (through surgery).  
🗑
if a child is cyanotic for a long period of time, what could they develop?   polycythemia  
🗑
polycythemia   Hgb and Hct increase. cyanotic, kidneys think the need more RBCs, make more RBCs, drive Hgb and HCt up. blood is thicker, espeically on hot days (dehydrated - more hemoconcentrated)  
🗑
decreased pulmonary blood flow surgery   palliative (give us time before we can do something else - BP shunt). Corrective (fixes the problem).  
🗑
Blalock-Taussig Shunt   a gortex shunt that connects the pulmonary system to the arterial system.  
🗑
Mixed-Blood flow defects   Transposition of the great vessels. ToF (mixing of the blood happens).  
🗑
transposition of the great vessels   pulmonary arteries aries from the LV, aorta from the RV (vice versa from normal).  
🗑
Mixed Blood Flow Tx   prostaglandin E. possible balloon atrial septostomy. O2 management (will never be at 100% unless surgically corrected). surgery. cyanosis.  
🗑
Acquired heart disease   rhuematic fever. Kawasaki's disease  
🗑
Rheumatic Fever   2º to GABHS.  
🗑
GABHS   group A beta-hemolytic strep. untreated, can cause acute glomerular nephritis or rheumatic fever.  
🗑
Rheumatic Fever - Major Sx   carditis. migratory polyarthritic. erythema marginatum. chorea. subcutaneous nodules.  
🗑
Rheumatic Fever - Dx   requires 2 major sx, or 1 major sx and 1 minor sx.  
🗑
Rheumatic Fever - Minor Sx   fever, arthalgis, hx of RF, increased ESR or C-reative protein, prolonged PR interval.  
🗑
Rheumatic Fever Management   antibodies. anti-inflammatory medications. supportive therapy.  
🗑
Rheumatic Fever Complications   if untreated can lead to rheumatic heart disease.  
🗑
Kawasaki's Disease - Sx   fever > 5 days and 4 of the following: bilateral conjuctivitis; mucosal changes; changes in extremities; truncal rash; cervical lymphadenopathy.  
🗑
Kawasaki's - management   IV gamma globulin. salicylata (ASA). support.  
🗑
Kawasaki's - complication   usually do well w/ tx. coronary artery abnormalities/aneurysms. pericardial effusion. myocardial inflammation. death.  
🗑
kawasaki's phases   acute - 8-12 days. subacute - 10-14 days. convalescence - 6-10 months.  
🗑
Cardiovascular Risk Factors   Hyperlipidemia. Hypertension  
🗑
Hyperlipidemia - risk factors   family. diet.  
🗑
Hyperlipidemia screening   age 2+ w the following risk factors: known familial hyperlipidemia. CV before age 55. BP >90% for age, sex, and height. diabetes. BMI > 85%.  
🗑
hypertension   screen children yearly. signif HTN 95th and 99th %ile. severe > 99%ile. on at least 3 separate occasions. if 2º, treat underlying cause. otherwise, change diet and lifestyle.  
🗑
