| Ductus Venosus | Accessory (extra) vein, carries oygenated blood from umbilical vein into lower venous system. |
| Foramen ovale | Shunts mixed blood from right atrium to left atrium (hole in the atrial septum) |
| Ductus arteriosus | Accessory (extra) artery, shunts mixed blood away from lungs to descending aorta |
| How does fetus receive sufficient 02 from the maternal blood supply? | Fetal hemoglobin carries 20-20% more oxygen than maternal HgB. Fetal HgB concentration is 50% greater than mothers. Fetal HR 120-160bpm (increases cardiac output) |
| What happens to the Ductus Arteriosis after birth? | Over 24 hours, pressure in the LV is greater than the PA and closes the ductus arteriosis. |
| What happens to the foramen ovale after birth? | Closes w/pressure. the pressure is the LA is greater than the pressure in the RA which leads to immediate closure. |
| What happens to the ductus venosus after birth? | Absent blood flow through the umbilicus gradually closes the ductus venosus over 12 hours to 2 weeks. |
| Cardiac Catheterization . | Primary method to measure extent of cardiac disease in children shows type and severity of the CHD. Intervention r/t blockage. |
| Congestive Heart Failure defined | Left ventricle is not pumping well. Heart doesn't pump blood well enough and cannot provide adequate cardiac output due to impaired myocardial contractility. Causes in children; defects, acquired heart disease and infections. |
| Congestive heart failure symptoms; | TACHYCARDIA is first sign. Tires easily, rapid, labored breathing, decr UOP, fluid/sodium retained, incr. sweating, pallor, peripheral edema. |
| CHF Diagnosis | Chest XRay- shows enlargement Echo- shows dilated heart vessels, hypertrophy and increased heart size |
| CHF Treatment | Aimed at reducing volume overload, improve contractility. May require surgery. Digoxin- helps strengthen the hearth muscle, enables it to pump more efficiently. Lasix- helps kidneys remove excess fluid. |
| S&S of Digoxin toxicity | vomiting, bradycardia. Need HR, EKG, Drug levels. Check apical pulse first do not give if HR <100bpm in infants and <70bpm in children. |
| Blood flows from _____ pressure to ______ pressure | High to Low (left side to right side) |

| Cyanotic Defects | Poor perfusion- Tetrology of Fallot |
| Septal defects | Increased pulmonary blood flow (Left to right shunting) Sends already sat blood back to lungs. Incr. cardiac workload, excessive pulmonary blood flow, right ventricular strain, dilation, hypertrophy |
| Ventricular Septal Defect general info | "Hole in the heart" High pressure in LV forces blood back to RV. Results in increased pulmonary blood flow (heart must pump extra blood) higher than normal arterial pressure. No immediate clinical symptoms. |
| Ventricular Septal Defect S&S | Vary w/size of defect. 4-8wks dev. loud, harsh systolic heart murmur. RV hypertrophy, 20-60% close spontaneously, cardiac cath shows 02 level of RV higher than normal. LG defects; dev CHF, foor feeding and failure to thrive |
| Ventricular Septal Defect treatment | Small defects; followed by cardiologist, prophylactic ABX Lg. Defect; open heart surgery w/cardiopulmonary bypass will suture or patch hole closed. If child unstable may do pulmonary artery banding to reduce blood flow to lungs. |
| VSD medical management for infants not medically stable for surgery or awaiting surgery | Digoxin to improve cardiac output, Oxygen and Lasix/Potassium. |
| Atrial Septal Defect general info | Pressure in LA is greater than RA (blood flows from left to right) 02 righ blood leaks back to RA to RV and then pumped back to the lungs resulting in ventricular hypertrophy. few symptoms at birth, over time may show fatigue, dyspnea on exertion. |
| S1;S2 | Av valves close then semilunar valves close |
| Atrial Septal defect clinical presentation | Lg. defect may cause CHF. Harsh systolic murmor, second heart sound is split "fixed splitting". Pulmonary valve closes later than aortic valve (risk for pul edema) Echo shows enlarged right side of heart; incr pulmonary circulation. |
| Fixed splitting | AV closed, semilunar split, pulmonary artery closes after aorta. |
| ASD management | Nonsurical Mgmt; prosthetic patch Surgical Mgmt; open heart w/CP bypass, edges are sutured or will use patch to cover hole. Diuretics to control symptoms until repair is performed. |
| Patent Ductus Arteriosus general info | Failure of ductus arteriosus to close completely at birth. Blood from the aorta flows into the pulmonary arteries to be reoxygenated in the lungs, returns to LA and LV. More common in preemies. |
| PDA S&S | Preterm; present w/CHF & resp. distress Fullterm: may be asymptomatic w/continous "machinery" type murmor Tire easily, growth retardation, prone to frq resp tract inf. Early problems from birth. |
| PDA Management | Chest XRay show enlarged LA & LV Indomethacin to stimulate ductus to constrict Surgery; ductus is divided & ligated (usually in 1st yr to decr risk for bacterial endocarditis |
| Acyanotic defects caused by VSD & ASD | Right CHF, pulmonary edema, pulmonary HTN |
| Acyanotic defects caused by PDA | Pulmonary edema, pulmonary HTN |
| Obstructive Defects (cyanotic) | Decreased pulmonary blood flow. Right to left shunt unsaturated blood into saturated blood. Pulmonic Stenosis and Coarctation of the Aorta |
| Pulmonary Stenosis general info | Obstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract. Decreased pulmonary blood flow |
| Pulmonary Stenosis symptoms | RRV hypertophy. High vent press may cause blood to back up into RA & force foramen ovale to open & allow blood flow from RA to LA. Mild Mod: Asymptomatic, systolic ejction murmur w/palp thrill. Severe: RV failure, CHF & mild-mod cyanosis w/R to L shunt |
| Medical Mgmt of Pulmonary Stenosis | If asymptomatic; cardiac follow up & prophylactic ABX. Surgery; pulmonary baloon valvuloplasty via cardiac cath if no success then valvotomy. |
| Coarctation of Aorta | Localized construction of the aorta at or near the insertion site of the ductus arteriosus. Reduces cardiac output (impedes blood flow fr heart to body) Aortic pressure is high proximal to constriction and low distal to the constriction CVA. Stroke risk. |
| S&S of Coarctation of Aorta | rel to severity of the constriction & presence of ass defects. Mild; asymptomatic, sys murmor, dim pulses in lower ext. Severe: poor low body perfusion, metabloic acidosis, CHF, syst htn. In both; BP is 20mmHG higher in arms than lower body. |
| Treatment of Coarctation of Aorta | Digoxin, Diuretic to manage CHF, PGE1 (prostaglandin)infusions to maintain ductal patency & imp perfusion to lower ext. will cause inc pulm flow- surgical repair within 1 year. |
| Cyanotic defects general info | Decrease dpulmonary blood flow. Transposition of the greater vessels. Tetrology of Fallot and Hypoplastic Left Heart. |
| Tetralogy of Fallot | Has four parts; VSD, RV hypertropy, Overriding Aorta, Pulmonic Stenosis; impedes blood flow to the lungs, forces unosygenated blood thru the VSD & into aorta. |
| S&S of Tetralogy of Fallot | The degree of pulmonic stenosis governs the onset and severity of symptoms. Mild little to no R-L shunting infants has tet spells (hypercyanotic episodes) Mod-Severe; some cyanotic at birth when PDA closes, other infants incr cyanotic over first few mos. |
| General Symptoms of Teralogy of Fallot | Tires easily w/exertion, difficulty feeding and gaining weight. Chronic hypoxia. Tet spells |
| Tet spells | Hypercyanotic episodes. Often preceded by crying, feeding or stooling, worsening cyanosis, increased RR may lose consciousness. Treatment= Chest knee position and apply 02. Do not leave child alone cyanosis can cause LOC, death. |
| Medical Management fo rTetralogy of Fallot | Symptomatic newborn; PGE1infusion to maintain ductal patency. Older; close monitoring for worsening hypoxia. Surgery; done at 3-12 mo in stages. Primary open heart repair; close VSD, open pul valve, remove obstructing muscle. |
| Nursing Care for the child with a congenital heart defect | Teach parents about care; review emergency mgmt (S&S resp distress, CPR) Promote normalcy within the limits of the childs condition. |
| Four acquired Heart Diseases; | HTN, Endocarditis, Rheumatic Fever and Kawasaki Disease. |
| Hypertension is broken down into | Primary- Caused by incr body bass, genetics. and Secondary- cause is from an underlying condition s/a kidney disease or heart defects. |
| What is used to diagose HTN in children? | Need to compare rate to childs age, gender and height. Unlike adults, there is no set range. Three readings >95% for that child confirms diagnosis. |
| Hypertension Management | Eliminate primary cause if possible. Exercise, lifestyle mods. ACE inhibitors, ARBs, Beta Blockers and Calcium Channel blockers |
| Infective endocarditis defined | Inflammation of the lining of the valves & arteries. Caused by bacterial and fungal infections in the blood stream that infects an already existing injred endocardium. At risk; cardiac defects, severe valve disorders. |
| Symptoms and treatment for Endocarditis | S&S- Weight loss, fever,fatigue, headache, N/V, new or changed murmur, CHF, dyspnea. Treatment: Antibiotics IV for 2-8 weeks, surgery to replace valves, treatment of CHF. |
| Rheumatic Fever defined | Leading cause of acquired heart disease. Inflamatory autoimmune condition. Seen in children 5-15 Usually follows untreated strep A infection. Causes scarrring of the mitral valves. (left side, which you want to work well) |
