Q

Preductal vs post ductal?

A

Preductal is the blood before the hole of the ductus arteriosus and post ductal is after. Preductal is oxygenated and post ductal is low oxygen blood.

Q

explain what occurs at birth and with the first breath to change the fetal circulation?

A

at birth the infant takes a deep breath and this decreases resistance in pulmonary vasculature causing an increase in left atrial pressure vs right atrial pressure, formen ovale closes.
increased oxygen from respiration and decrease in prostaglandins due to placental separation causes closure of ductus arteriosus.

85
Q

MC congenital heart dz causing cyanosis?

A

ejection of mixed blood into the aorta

88
Q

clinical presentation of TOF?

A

CYANOSIS
Squatting
Dyspnea
Hypercyanotic and hypoxic spells (TET spells)

89
Q

what does squatting with TOF do?

A

A position that increases systemic vascular resistance and aortic pressure, which decreases right-to-left ventricular shunting and thus increases arterial O2saturation.

90
Q

during feeding or crying a babies PO2 can drop to below 50, what is this known as?

A

TET spells, will be unresponsive to supplemental oxygen

91
Q

physical examination of a person with TOF will reveal?

RV heave

harsh systolic ejection murmur

92
Q

tries to decrease the shunt so lungs can get more blood

93
Q

hands and feet can turn blue as well as lips and places on face.

94
Q

Conditions that increase right to left shunt

acidosis

hypercarbia

hypotension

95
Q

Treatment for TOF kid?

A

ForTETspells, knee-chest positioning, calming, O2, and vasoconstrictors

96
Q

Surgery options for TOF

A

Blalock-Taussing shunt; connects subclavian artery to pulmonary artery
Closing VSD
Resecting obstruction

97
Q

Anesthetic management of TOF kid?

A

maintain intravascular volume and SVR

avoid increases in pulmonary vascular resistance (N2O)

Ketamine is used bc it maintains or increases SVR and therefore does not aggravate R to L shunt

VA and histamine releasing drugs decrease SVR and increase the shunt

Phenylephrine increases SVR and decreases shunt

98
Q

**Why do you want to keep the duct open in TOF or create a ductus?

A

by connecting subclavian artery and pulmonary artery leads to more blood to lungs as less blood is going because of pulmonary stenosis

99
Q

What is Tricuspid atresia?

A

Missing Tricuspid valve

Blood can flow out of right atrium only via PFO or ASD

PDA is necessary for blood to flow from LV into pulmonary circulation

100
Q

What is needed for survival with Tricuspid atresia?

A

PGE1 is needed for survival

101
Q

Treatment of Tricuspid atresia?

A

Septostomy

B.T. shunt

Fontan procedure
-Anastomosis of right atrium with right pulmonary artery

Glen shunt
-SVC to pulmonary artery

Heart transplant

102
Q

What is shown on EKG with Truncus arteriosus

A

biventricular hypertrophy

103
Q

what is truncus arteriosus

A

Conotruncal separation does not occur, one trunk

104
Q

when pulmonary resistance falls with truncus arteriosus what occurs

A

increased flow to the lungs leading to CHF, tachypnea

105
Q

What is the treatment for Truncus arteriosus?

A

surgery, close VSD with trunk in LV, connect RV and pulmonary artery

106
Q

What is transposition of Great Vessels ?

A

Right ventricle is connected to aorta and LV is connected to pulmonary artery

107
Q

What must someone with TGV have to survive?

A

mixing of blood, thus they must have an ASD, VSD, PDA

they must also have PGE1 infusion

108
Q

On chest X ray what shape will the heart of someone with TGV have?

A

egg shaped heart

109
Q

what is the surgery for TGV?

A

atrial septostomy if no connection, whole atrial switch in neonatal period

110
Q

**TAPVR, what is it?

A

Pulmonary veins lead to RA instead of going to left atrium, even the coronary sinus go to the RA.

111
Q

snowman shaped heart indicates what CHD?

A

TAPVR

112
Q

What is hypoplastic left heart syndrome?

A

Hypoplasia of left ventricle, mitral valve and ascending aorta

mixing of pulmonary and systemic blood in single ventricle

if you have an increase or decrease in pulmonary vascular resistance with Hypoplastic LH syndrome what will happen?

A

cardiovascular collapse
