Congenital Heart Defects 1
VSD, ASD, & PDA are which type of heart defect?
What is Increased Pulmonary Circulation.
Cyanosis is ALWAYS noted with this category of heart defects.
What is decreased pulmonary circulation.
This is used to keep ducts OPEN
What is Prostaglandin E1
True or False: Post-procedure care following Cardiac Catheterization requires keeping the affected extremity straight, the HOB elevated, and hips flexed.
What is FALSE.
-Apply pressure dressing. - Keep affected extremity straight. - Do not elevate HOB. - Do not flex hips.
**Check under the buttocks for bleeding!!**
The Jones Criteria is helpful in diagnosing what acquired heart disease?
What is Rheumatic Fever.
With this congenital heart defect, if left untreated, older children suffer from recurrent episodes of epistaxis and leg cramps or pain especially during activity.
What is Coarctation of the aorta.
This congenital heart defect is the most common defect in children.
What is VSD. (Ventricular septal defect)
This allows for CLOSURE of the ducts
What is Indomethacin.
This screening is performed on all newborns at approximately 24-48hours of life.
What is CCHD (Chronic Congenital Heart Disease) Screening.
Non-purulent conjunctivitis, cracks & fissures in the lips, and a rash on the trunk is suggestive of what acquired heart disease?
What is Kawasaki Disease.
Transposition of the great arteries is a cardiac defect that is considered incompatible with life unless:
What is: another defect (PDA or septal defect) is present to allow for oxygenation of the blood.
This congenital heart defect is noted by progressive cyanosis after birth and requires a heart transplant for survival.
What is HLHS (Hypoplastic left heart syndrome).
The use of antibiotics as a precaution in a child with a cardiac alteration
What is infective endocarditis prophylaxis.
This congenital heart defect is detectable upon fetal ultrasound at the anatomy scan. It consists of 4 separate defects.
What is TOF. (Tetralogy of Fallot)
This acquired heart disease is treated with IVIG & HIGH DOSE aspirin.
What is Kawasaki Disease.
This heart defect results in a higher BP & pulse in upper extremities than in lower extremities.
What is coarctation of the aorta.
With this mixed defect, the patient presents with cyanosis, poor feeding/growth, frequent respiratory infections, and tachypnea.
What is TAPVR. (Total anomalous pulmonary venous return)
This cardiac medication requires a double-nurse verify, & checking the APICAL HR for at least 1 min prior to administration.
What is Digoxin (Lanoxin).
Teaching parents of infants & children with this congenital defect about the knee-to-chest position helps infants increase blood flow to the lungs and that children may instinctively squat.
What is TOF (tetralogy of fallot).
Obesity is the leading cause of this acquired heart disease.
What is dyslipidemia.
With this congenital heart defect, the patient is at a greater risk for stroke later in life if untreated.
What is ASD. (Atrial septal defect)
This mixed congenital heart defect occurs when there is a single large vessel that empties both ventricles
What is truncus arteriosus.
Children taking this diuretic medication should be monitored for hypokalemia.
What is Furosemide (Lasix).
Balloon dilation with cardiac cath is recommended with these 2 obstructive congenital heart defects.
What are pulmonary stenosis & aortic stenosis.
This acquired heart disease is an illness that develops following a bacterial illness.
What is Rheumatic Fever.
