(109 cards)
What is considered an ex premature infant?
<37 weeks and <60 weeks postconceptional age
How long should expremature patients be monitored after general surgery?
12-24 hours for apnea and O2 desaturation
what are the factors that increase risk of periop apnea
< 60 weeks postconceptual
anemia <12 gm Hgb
secondary diagnoses (intraventricular hemorrhage)
should you avoid opioids in expremature infants in genral?
yes
what caffeine dose can be used to decrease the frequency of apnea in expremature infants?
10mg/kg
when can an expremature infant be discharged after general?
12 hrs free of apnea
does regional increase risk of periop apnea?
no
what valve is involved in Ebstein’s anomaly?
tricuspid
what portions of the tricuspid valve leaflets are displaced into the RV?
septal and posterior
is the anterior valve leaflet of the Tricuspid abnormal in Ebsteins anomaly?
yes
describe the anterior valve of the tricuspid in Ebsteins anomaly
elongated and sail like with chordal attachments to the RV free wall
is there an RV outflow tract obstruction in ebsteins?
maybe
is the tricuspid valve regurgitant or stenotic in ebsteins?
usually regurgitant (may be stenotic)
what type of interatrial communication is present in ebsteins?
R to L shunting
what happens to the RA in Ebsteins?
dilated
what happens to the RV in Ebsteins?
atrialized and reduced cavity
neonatal clinical presentation of Ebsteins
systemic venous congestion
cyanosis
worsens after ductus arteriosis closes
older children clinical presentation of Ebsteins
incidental murmur
adolescent and adult presentation of Ebsteins
SVT to CHF
worsening cyanosis
occasional syncope
what are the risks for Ebsteins?
paradoxical embolizaiton
brain abcess
CHF
sudden death
What are the signs and symptoms of Ebsteins anomaly? (thats right…there is more)
cyanosis (depends on R to L shunt) systolic murmur (left lower sternal border) hepatomegaly tall broad P waves, 1st degree block PST and VT WPW (20%)
treatment options of ebsteins
tricuspid valve repair to fontan procedure to transplant
associated complications after Ebsteins anomaly repair
infective endocarditis
CHF
SVT
what are the surgical goals of Ebstein anomaly repair?
repair or replace tricuspid valve
repair atrial defect
