2 fetal shunts | Foramen ovale, Ductus arteriosus |
How does foramen ovale close? | With 1st breath, inc. pressure in left side of heart forces flap to close |
How does ductus arteriosus close? | Inc. O2 sat causes it to close within 24hrs after birth |
What causes Increased Pulmonary Blood Flow (Acyanotic Heart Defects)? | Defects that cause shunting of blood from high pressure L to lower pressure R because of inc. pulmonary blood flow causing dec. systemic O2 blood flow and R/L side hypertrophy; PDA, ASD, VSD |
What causes Decreased Pulmonary Blood Flow (Cyanotic Heart Defects)? | Unoxygenated, or desaturated, blood is entering the systemic circulation; Tetralogy of Fallot, Transposition of Great Arteries, Pulmonary Stenosis |
How does body compensate for Cyanotic heart defects? | Increase in RBC (polycythemia) |
What causes Obstruction to Systemic Blood Flow (Obstructive Heart Defects)? | Blood exiting heart meets narrowed area (stenosis), causing back up of blood into L ventricle, inc. pressure, leading to hypertrophy and low cardiac output; Coarctation of Aorta, Aortic stenosis, Pulmonic stenosis |
What is caused by Obstructive Heart defects? | CHF w/ pulonary edema and Low Cardia output --> diminished pulses, poor color, prolonged cap refill, dec. urine, leg cramps, unequal pulses |

How do you decrease cardiac demands on heart of CHF patient? | Promote rest, minimize stress, monitor V/S (especially temp) |
How do you reduce respiratory distress in CHF? | Lift HOB, give O2 |
How do you maintain nutrition for peds pt w/ CHF? | Nipple vs. Gavage feed, GTT, higher calorie feeding |
What do left-to-right lung shunting defects produce? | Inc. pulmonary blood flow, CHF, Murmurs, Feeding intolerance, Activity intolerance, Poor growth, FTT, Frequent pulmonary infections |
What is a PDA? | Patent ductus arteriosus- fetal shunt that failed to close causing inc. left ventricle workload and inc. pulmonary blood flow leading to CHF, Left Ventricular hypertrophy, murmur and bounding pulses |
What med is given for a PDA? | Indocin (indomethicin)- prostaglandin inhibitor - to close PDA |
What is VSD? | Ventricular Septal Defect - opening between L/R ventricle that allows inc. pulmonary blood flow into R ventricle/atrium causing s/s of CHF, FTT, and murmurs |
What do you see with Cyanotic Cardiac Defects (dec. pulmonary blood flow)? | O2 desaturation, cyanosis, polycythemia, clubbing, murmurs |
What is the Tetrology of Fallot? | 4 cardiac anomalies at once: pulmonic stenosis, VSD + overriding aorta, R ventricle hypertrophy |
What does PS do in Tetrology of Fallot? | Pulmonic stenosis = dec. pulmonary blood flow |
What does VSD + OA do in Tetrology of Fallot? | Ventricular Septal Defect and Overriding Aorta mix O2 and deoxygenated blood |
What does R-ventricle hypertrophy do in Tetrology of Fallot? | Forces deoxygenated blood into L-side of heart into aorta |
Why is Prostaglandin E1 given for Tetrology of Fallot? | Prostaglandin E1 keeps patent ductus arteriosus to inc. pulmonary blood flow and O2 level |
Difference between Indocin and Prostaglandin E1? | Prostaglandin E1 keeps PDA open, Indocin closes it |
What's a TET spell? | Hypercyanotic episode where pt changes LOC to irritable and becomes cyanotic |
What do you do before giving Digoxin? | Make sure HR > 100bpm |
