HTN​ Oliguria​ Anuria​ Seizures​ Coma
41
What is a definite positive urine analysis?​
A definite positive urine analysis typically refers to the presence of certain substances or markers in urine that indicate a specific condition or substance use. For example: - Drug Screening → A definite positive result in a drug screening urine analysis indicates the presence of a particular drug or its metabolites above a specified cutoff level. - Medical Conditions → In medical diagnostics, a definite positive urine analysis might indicate the presence of abnormal levels of proteins, glucose, ketones, or other substances, which can suggest conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, or urinary tract infections.
42
What is clean catch urine?
In children who are toilet trained, the clean-catch method, which involves using a sterile cup to obtain midstream urine, is preferred
43
What is hypospadias?
Urethral opening located behind glans penis or anywhere along ventral surface of penile shaft
44
What can SSRIs during pregnancy cause?
- Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn (PPHN) - Increased risk of Ebstein's anomaly - Hypoplastic right heart​ - SSRI in the first trimester to be associated with increased risk of severe CHD - SSRI were found to be associated with a two-fold increase in the risk of CHD overall
45
What is Ebstein's anomaly?
a defect of the tricuspid valve - two leaflets of the tricuspid valve are not in the right place​
46
Foramen Ovale serves the purpose of what?
bypassing the lungs in utero​
47
when does foramen ovale close ?
when baby is born and takes first breath
48
Ductus venous is necessary to bypass what organ?
liver
49
when does ductus venous close?
with the clamping of the cord
50
in a few days to weeks the ductus venous becomes what?
ligamentum venosum
51
After ductus venous closes after clamping of cord, now with blood flowing to the liver it is able to?
process nutrients and metabolize (such as bilirubin to help resolve newborn jaundice).
52
Difference btwn EKG and Holter monitor?
EKG is a quick snapshot while holter is a look over a longer period of time
53
What is atrial septal defect (ASD)?
Congenital defect​ Abnormal opening in the atrial septum – the wall that separates the 2 upper chambers of the heart.​ This opening allows blood to flow directly from the left atrium to the right atrium – extra blood can be pumped to the lungs
54
what does ASD lead to?
increased pressure in the lung and strain on the heart overtime
55
where is the murmur for ASD commonly heard?
along the upper left sternal border typically a systolic murmur -- heard during contraction
56
Acyanotic defects we discussed? (3)
ASD VSD PDA
57
ASD is when O2 rich blood from LA flows into RA, leading to ?
increased blood volume in the right side of heart
58
Sx of ASD vary on the size of opening: (5)
- fatigue - difficulty breathing - recurrent resp infections - poor weight gain - heart murmur
59
Sx of VSD depend on size: (6)
Fatigue​ poor weight gain​ rapid breathing​ frequent respiratory infections​ heart murmur​ May exhibit signs of congestive heart failure, such as difficulty breathing and poor feeding​
60
most common VSD? where is defect located?
Preimembranous or Membranous is most common. Defect is near the junction of the ventricular septum and the atrioventricular valves.
61
Muscular VSD occurs within ..?
the muscular part of the septum and is usually smaller in size. ​
62
VSD accounts for...?
20-30% of congenital heart defects​
63
Aortic stenosis....(4)
Interferes with the flow of blood from the left ventricle of the heart into the aorta:​ Reduces Cardiac Output​ Left ventricle hypertrophy: thickening of the wall occurs due to increased workload placed on left ventricle​ Increases risk of heart failure​
64
Pulmonary stenosis....(3)
Causes narrowing of the pulmonic valves at the entrance of the pulmonary artery​ Pulmonary stenosis interferes with the flow of blood from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery. ​ Pulmonary stenosis will cause right ventricular hypertrophy due to pressure increases in the right ventricle.
65
What is tricuspid atresia?
Tricuspid Atresia is a heart defect where the tricuspid valve that normally allows blood to flow from the right atria to the right ventricle is either completely absent or abnormally developed​ Blood can not flow from the right atria into the right ventricle.​
66
what physiological changes does tricuspid atresia lead to? (5)
Alternative pathways for circulation​ Mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood​ Pulmonary hypertension​ RVH​ Cyanosis​
67
Norwood procedure for hypoplastic left heart syndrome?
reconstructs the aorta and connects it to the right ventricle to create a source of pulmonary blood flow.​ done birth​
68
Bidirectional Glenn or Hemi-Fontan procedure for hypoplastic left heart syndrome?
redirecting venous blood from the upper body directly to the pulmonary arteries, bypassing the right ventricle​ done at 4-6 months
69
Fontan procedure for hypoplastic left heart syndrome?
redirects the remaining venous blood directly to the pulmonary arteries, completing the separation of systemic and pulmonary circulations
70
In hypoplastic left heart syndrome, the DA remaining open allows the blood to bypass the underdeveloped left side of the heart. When it closes there is...(3)
decreased pulmonary blood flow (cyanosis) increase right ventricular workload (RVH) Systemic to pulmonary shunting
71
How long is prophylactic abx given for rheumatic fever?
Treatment continues for 5 years or until age 21 whichever is longer
72
In rheumatic fever, why are prophylactic abx given for all dental work and invasive or surgical procedures?
to prevent endocarditis
73
why is strict bed rest needed for rheumatic fever?
ro reduce cardiac demands
74
In acute phase of rheumatic fever, resting heart rate of 60-100 would ?
still require bedrest
