Q

What is pulsus paradoxus

A

• Decrease in amplitude of systolic BP by > 10 mm Hg during inspiration
o Usually when you inspire this decreases intrathoracic pressure and causes the ventricular septum to deviate to the L, causing a smaller LV and a normal but slight decrease in BP
o In pulsus paradoxus, there will be an exaggerated decrease in BP

Q

Describe fixed wide splitting of S2 and what defect it is seen in

A
  • Occurs during right heart overload (e.g. atrial septal defect)
  • ASD -> L-to-R shunt -> increased RA and RV volumes -> increased flow through pulmonic valve such that, regardless of breath, pulmonic closure is delayed

Q

Describe how coarcation of the aorta can be “ductus dependent”

A

• If coarctation is proximal to ductus arteriosus it is usually associated with PDA
• Presentation:
o Lower extremity cyanosis in infants – blood going to LE is deoxygenated (from RV to pulmonary artery to PDA)

Symptoms often don’t appear until the ductus begins to close (can give prostaglandins to keep the ductus open until you can surgically repair)

Q

Describe X-ray findings of Tetralogy of fallot

A

Boot-shaped heart due to RV hypertrophy

20
Q

What is the immediate intervention for transposition of the great arteries

A
  • Medications to reduce CHF (digoxin, diuretics, etc.)

- Atrial septostomy via catherization to allow for blood mixing until surgery is able to be performed

21
Q

Why might a child with inflammatory bowel disease have anemia

A
  • Microcytic = Iron deficiency anemia due to blood loss
    OR
  • Macrocytic = B12 deficiency due to chronic inflammation of the terminal ilium (where B12 is absorbed)
22
Q

What part of the gut is B12 absorbed in

A

Ileum

23
Q

Describe pernicious anemia

A

B12 deficiency due to autoimmune destruction of gastric mucosa (parietal cells in the stomach), which leads to intrinsic factor deficiency

24
Q

What are the 2 main concerns in feeding newborns goat milk

A
  • Vitamin B12 deficiency

- Brucellosis if milk in unpasteurized

25
Q

What heart defect presents as narrow mediastinum on CXR ““egg on a string”

A

Transposition of the great vessels

26
Q

Presentation of lead poisoning

A

• GI (abd pain, constipation, anorexia)
• Neuro (cognitive defects, peripheral neuropathy, encephalopathy, memory loss, delirium)
o *Wrist/foot drop
• Hematologic (microcytic anemia with basophilic stippling, ringed sideroblasts in marrow)
• Burton lines – lead lines in gingiva and gums
• Hyper dense lines on metaphysis of long bones
• Renal failure

27
Q

What does the ductus venosus connect

A

Allows blood to bypass the liver and flow from the umbilical vein directly into the IVC

28
Q

Descrieb fetal circulation

A

o Umbilical vein carries oxygenated blood from placenta to liver
♣ In the liver there is mixing of oxygenated blood from umbilical vein with deoxygenated blood from lower extremities
♣ Some blood from umbilical vein goes to liver into hepatic circulation while some blood is shunted directly into the IVC via ductus venosus, bypassing hepatic circulation
o Blood goes from IVC to RA
♣ In the RA, blood can either go into the RV or straight into the LA via foramen ovale
o Blood that went to the RV then enters the pulmonary artery
♣ In the pulmonary artery, blood can either go to the lungs, or go through the ductus arteriosus which will shunt the blood directly into the descending aorta
• This shunt is due to the high fetal pulmonary artery resistance

29
Q

Describe transition from fetal circulation to adult circulation

A

♣ When the infant takes a breath, this decreases intrathoracic pressure, thus decreasing resistance in pulmonary vasculature
♣ Decreased resistance leads to more blood entering the pulmonary artery (less leaving through ductus arteriosus), and thus more blood entering the LA
♣ Increased LA pressure causes closure of the foramen ovale
♣ Highly oxygenated blood in the aorta causes closure of ductus arteriosus

30
Q

What is murmur you hear in ASD

A

Pulmonary flow murmur - due to increase volume crossing the pulmonary valve

Flow across ASD does not create a murmur because there is only a very small difference in pressure between RA and LA

31
Q

What other heart sound will you hear in ASD

A

Fixed, widened split S2

32
Q

Tx of truncus arteriosus

A
  • Requires surgical repair in neonatal period

* Don’t need prostaglandin before repair

33
Q

Tx of transposition of great vessels

A
  • Medications to reduce CHF (digoxin, diuretics, etc.)
  • Atrial septostomy via catherization to allow for blood mixing until surgery is able to be performed
  • Surgical repair necessary
34
Q

Describe tet spells and what defect they occur in

A

Occur in tetralogy of fallot

• Cyanosis exacerbated by increased R-to-L shunt due to crying, fever, exercise
• Symptoms relieved by squatting
o Increased SVR = R-to-L shunt becomes L-to-R shunt = improved cyanosis

35
Q

What is total anomalous pulmonary venous return

A
  • Pulmonary veins drain into R heart circulation (e.g. SVC, coronary sinus, RA)
  • Associated with ASD and sometimes PDA to allow for R-to-L shunting
36
Q

Coarctation of the aorta is associated with what syndrome

A

Turner Syndrome

37
Q

Truncus arteriosus is associated with what syndrome

A

Down Syndrome

38
Q

What is the major cause of mortality in DKA

A

Cerebral edema

Can occur when DKA treated with too much insulin, bicarb, and insulin

39
Q

Are younger kids more likely to get T1DM or T2DM

A

T1DM

40
Q

What may cause central precocious puberty?

A

Hypothalamic hamartoma

41
Q

Treatment of central precocious puberty

A

Continuous leuprolipde

42
Q

Consequences of untreated precocious puberty

A

Premature height maturation - 2 year old that finishes puberty will stop growing at that height

43
Q

Diagnose: Thelarche (early breast bud development), bone age not advanced, no adrenarche

A
  • Idiopathic isolated premature thelarche

- Ovarian cyst

44
Q

Diagnose: + Thelarche (early breast bud development), + bone age advanced, no adrenarche

A

McCune Albright Syndrome (café au lait spots, polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, precocious puberty)

45
Q

Diagnose: Bone age advanced, +adrenarche, no thelarche

A
  • Adrenal tumor – get adrenal US

- Late-onset congenital adrenal hyperplasia – get 17-hydroxyprogesterone and androgens to begin

46
Q

Describe pathogenesis of PCOS

A

o Increases LH -> stimulation of theca cells -> increased androgen production by theca cells -> increased peripheral conversion of androgens into estrone in adipose tissue -> decreased FSH (negative feedback) -> decreased stimulation of granulosa cells -> degeneration of follicles -> cystic follicles

47
Q

What is metabolic sydrome

A

o Must have any 3 of the following:
♣ Abdominal obesity: Waist circumference > 40 in in men or > 35 in in women
♣ Triglyerides > 150 mg/dl
♣ HDL < 40 mg/dl in men or < 50 mg/dl in women
♣ BP > 130/85
♣ Fasting serum glucose > 100 mg/dl (or 2 hour post oral glucose > 140 mg/dl)
