Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Early signs of CHF   Tachycardia, tachypnea, profuse scalp diaphoresis, fatigue, irritability, sudden weight gain, respiratory distress  
🗑
CHF Interventions   I&O, daily weight, facial/dependent edema, lung souds, semi-Fowler's, decrease environmental stimuli, cool humidified O2, small, frequent feedings, sedation, digoxin, ACE inhibitors, Lasix, K+ supplements, limit fluids, monitor Na  
🗑
Left sided failure symptoms   Crackles, wheezes, cough, dyspnea, grunting (infants), head bobbing (infants), nasal flaring, orthopnea, periods of cyanosis, retractions, tachypnea  
🗑
Right sided failure symptoms   Ascites, hepatosplenomegaly, JVD, oliguria, peripheral edema, weight gain  
🗑
Defects with increased pulmonary blood flow   (Blood flow from L side to R side of heart; s/s of CHF)Atrial septal defect, atrioventricular canal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, ventricular septal defect  
🗑
Atrial Septal Defect (ASD)   Opening between the atria causing increased flow of oxygenated blood into the R side of the heart; R atrial and ventricular enlargement; s/s of decreased CO, maybe s/s of CHF. Tx: Cardiac cath, open repair with cardiopulmonary bypass  
🗑
Atrioventricular canal defect   Results from incomplete fusion of the endocardial cushions; associated with Down syndrome; murmur present; CHF s/s, cyanosis with crying, s/s decreased CO. Tx: Pulmonary artery binding or complete repair via cardiopulmonary bypass  
🗑
Patent ductus arteriosus   Ductus arteriosus (artery connecting aorta to PA) doesn't close; machinery-like murmur; asymptomatic or s/s of CHF, widened pulse pressure and bounding pulses, s/s of decreased CO; Tx: Indomethacin (indocin), prostaglandin inhibitor, cardiac cath, surgery  
🗑
Ventricular septal defect   Opening between the R and L ventricles; many close spontaneously in 1st year; murmur present; s/s of CHF and decreased CO. Tx: cardiac cath, open repair with cardiopulmonary bypass  
🗑
Obstructive defects   (Anatomical narrowing causes obstruction of blood flow; s/s of CHF, may be asymptomatic) Aortic stenosis, coarction of the aorta, pulmonary stenosis  
🗑
Aortic stenosis   Narrowing or stricture of the aortic valve; results in decreased CO, L ventricular hypertrophy, pulmonary vascular congestion; murmur, s/s decreased CO, exercise intolerance, chest pain, dizziness. Tx: Cardiac cath, aortic valvotomy, valve replacement  
🗑
Coarctation of the aorta   Localized narrowing; BP higher in upper extremities than lower; s/s CHF and decreased CO; HA, fainting, epistaxis. Tx: balloon angioplasty, mech vent and meds to ^CO, resection, graft  
🗑
Pulmonary stenosis   Narrowing at entrance of PA causing R ventricular hypertrophy and decreased pulm bloodflow; murmur, cyanosis, s/s of decreased CO, s/s CHF. Tx: cardiac cath, valvotomy  
🗑
S/S of decreased CO   Decreased peripheral pulses, exercise intolerance, feeding difficulties, hypotension, irritability, restlessness, lethargy, oliguria, pale/cool extremeties, tachycardia  
🗑
Defects with decreased pulmonary blood flow   (Obstructed pulm bloodflow and a defect- ASD or VSD- between the L and R side are present; pressure on R side increases, exceeding the L side; desaturated blood shunts R to L. Hypoxemia, cyanosis). Tetralogy of Fallot, tricuspid atresia  
🗑
Tetralogy of Fallot   VSD, pulmonary stenosis, overriding aorta, and R ventricular hypertrophy. Murmur, cyanosis ("blue spells" or "tet spells" relieved by squatting), poor growth, clubbing. Tx: palliative shunt; complete repair in 1st year  
🗑
Tricuspid atresia   Failure of tricuspid valve to develop; no connection between R atrium and ventricle, blood flows through ASD or patent foramen ovale to L side and a VSD to the R ventricle; results in mixing of unO2 and O2 blood in L side  
🗑
Tricuspid atresia s/s and Tx   Systemic desaturation, pulmonary obstruction, decreased pulmonary blood flow, cyanosis, tachycardia, dyspnea, chornic hypoxemia, clubbing. Tx: cardiac cath, surgery  
🗑
Mixed defects   (Sat and unsat blood mix, causing system desaturation; pulm congestion, CO decreases, CHF s/s) Hypoplastic L heart syndrome, total anomalous pulmonary venous connection, transposition of the great arteries, truncus arteriosus  
🗑
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome   L side underdeveloped resulting in hypoplastic L vent and aortic atresia; cyanosis s/s CHF until ductus arteriosus closes then cyanosis worsens and CO is decreased leading to death unless treated. Tx: mech vent, prostaglandin (keep PDA open), transplant  
🗑
Transposition of the great arteries   PA w/ L ventricle, aorta w/ R ventricle; no connection between systemic and pulmonary circulation; severely cyanotic, cardiomegaly; septal defect or PDA allow communication. Tx: prostaglandin, balloon atrial septostomy during cardiac cath, surgery  
🗑
Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection   Pulmonary veins don't connect to R atrium, results in mixed blood returning to R atrium and shunting from R to L through ASD; R side hypertrophies, L side small; s/s CHF, cyanosis. Tx: corrective repair,  
🗑
Truncus arteriosus   Failure of normal separation and division of bulbar trunk into pulmonary artery and aorta; blood from both ventricles mixes; desaturation, hypoxemia, murmur, cyanosis CHF, poor growth, activity intolerance. Tx: surgery  
🗑
Cardiovascular defects interventions   Vitals, respiratory status (nasal flaring, accessory muscles, crackles, rhonchi, wheezes), reverse Tredelenburg, O2, ET tube, s/s of CHF, fluid restrictions, high-calorie diet, max rest, cardiac cath  
🗑
Rheumatic Fever   Inflammatory autoimmune disease; affects connective tissue of heart, joints, subq tissues, and blood vessels of CNS; manifests 2 wks after strep infection  
🗑
Rheumatic Fever Assessment   Low-grade fever that spikes in later afternoon, ^ antistreptolysin O titer, ^ ESR, ^ C-reactive protein, Aschoff bodies  
🗑
Rheumatic Fever Interventions   Vitals, control joint pain w/ massage and hot and cold, bed rest, penicillin, salicylates, anti-inflammatory agents, seizure precaustions  
🗑
Kawasaki Disease   Acute systemic inflammatory illness; aneurysms can develop  
🗑
Kawasaki disease acute stage   Fever, conjunctival hyperemia, red throat, swollen hands, rash, enlargement of cervical lymph nodes  
🗑
Kawasaki disease subacute state   Cracking lips/fissures, desquamation of skin on fingers and toes, joint pain, cardiac manifestations, thrombocytosis  
🗑
Kawasaki disease convalescent stage   Child appears normal, but signs of inflammation my be present  
🗑
Kawasaki disease interventions   Temp, assess heart sounds, rate, rhythm, edema, strict I&O, soft foods and liquids (not too hot or cold), daily weights, passive ROM, aspirin, immunoglobulin IV  
🗑
