Oxygenated blood from placenta enters through ?
umbilical veins
Most of the blood bypass fetal liver via the _________ and mix with deoxygenated blood in _________
ductus venosus
inferior vena cava
Foramen ovale shunts blood from
right atrium (high pressure pressure) directly into left atrium (low pressure pressure)
Ductus arteriosus connects
pulmonary artery directly to aorta
Deoxygenated blood returns to placenta via
the umbilical arteries
Most of the oxygenated blood reaching the heart via the umbilical vein and inferior vena cava is
diverted through the foramen ovale and pumped out the aorta to the head.
Pathway of blood through fetal circulation
Umbilical vein-> ductus venosus -> inferior vena cava -> right atrium ->left atrium (through foramen ovale) -> left ventricle -> aorta -> body
Some blood does not pass to left atrium (through foramen ovale), but enters the right ventricle and pumped into the pulmonary artery. From pulmonary artery blood pass to aorta through ductus arteriosus by passing lungs that are solid rock (infinite pulmonary resistance) during fetal life
Blood in umbilical vein is ________ saturated with O2. Umbilical arteries have low O2 sat.
80%
Indomethacin helps______ PDA. Prostaglandins E1 and E2 helps ______ PDA.
Indomethacin helps close PDA. Prostaglandins E1 and E2 keep PDA open
Fetal blood
PaCO2 = ______
PaO2 = ______
48 mmHg
30 mmHg (+10 increase if mother is on 100% O2)
Ductus arteriosus closes in __________ period
2-3 weeks
Foramen ovale closes in _________period
takes months to close
Is right to left shunt normal?
Normally occur to a small extent because 2% of the cardiac output bypasses the lungs- physiologic shunt
Prematurity is defined as
Birth before 37 weeks
< 1000 g
What are the complications of prematurity
Hyaline membrane disease Apneic spells Bronchopulmonary dysplasia Respiratory distress syndrome PDA Retinopathy
What are the anesthetic considerations of prematurity
Avoid excessive inspired O2
Risk of post-anesthetic apnea
Gut herniate into thorax through ‘hole’ in diaphragm
Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia
Foramen of Bochdalek or Morgagni is
Hole in diaphragm through which gut herniate into thorax in CDH
What is the incidence and mortality for patients with CDH
1:5,000
Mortality 40-50%
In a Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia, hypoxia is due to?
R to L shunt, from persistent fetal circulation
Physical examination for a patient with CDH
Scaphoid abdomen
Bowel sound in chest
Pulmonary hypoplasia and hypertension
Severe retractions
What is the treatment for Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia
Stabilization Postductal PCO2 < 65mmHg and preductal O2 saturation >85% ECMO is useful Surgical decompression Intrauterine surgery
Anesthetic consideration for CDH
NG tube Avoid high pressure PPV Pre-oxygenation Decrease conc. of VA, muscle relaxant Nitrous oxide (N2O) is contraindicated High risk of pneumothorax avoid barotrauma. Treat with chest tube
What are the 3cs of Tracheoesophageal fistula
Cyanosis, chocking and coughing with feeding
