Infants having a Tet spell, where everything is constricting and it can be
brought on by being emotional and when they cry they become cyanotic,
you want to put them over your shoulder, knee, chest to get that blood flow
back to heart and lungs (specifically the lungs)
- Young kids who had cyanosis; squatting is done involuntary to bring blood
back up to the lungs and heart (specifically the lungs)
Disorders with Increased Pulmonary Blood Flow: ------CORRECT
ANSWER---------------TOO MUCH BLOOD IS GETTING TO THE LUNGS
AND CAN LEAD TO CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE
-Atrial Septal Defect (ASD): too much blood is getting to the lungs
-Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD): ***NUMBER ONE CONGENITAL HARD
DEFECT** Mixing of blood and too much is going back to the lungs- VSD is
a hole in the heart
Patent Ductus Arteriosis (PDA): the connection between pulmonary artery
and aorta; so blood flow is going to be in upper extremities and like a hole
this blood flow is going back into the lungs
- causes heart failure and pulmonary hypertension
Congenital Heart Disease- Obstructive Disorders: Coarctation of the Aorta -

What happens with infants and young children when they experience cyanosis due to Tetralogy of Fallot? ------CORRECT ANSWER---------------- Infants having a Tet spell, where everything is constricting and it can be brought on by being emotional and when they cry they become cyanotic, you want to put them over your shoulder, knee, chest to get that blood flow back to heart and lungs (specifically the lungs)

  • Young kids who had cyanosis; squatting is done involuntary to bring blood back up to the lungs and heart (specifically the lungs) Disorders with Increased Pulmonary Blood Flow: ------CORRECT ANSWER---------------TOO MUCH BLOOD IS GETTING TO THE LUNGS AND CAN LEAD TO CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE
  • Atrial Septal Defect (ASD): too much blood is getting to the lungs
  • Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD): *NUMBER ONE CONGENITAL HARD DEFECT Mixing of blood and too much is going back to the lungs- VSD is a hole in the heart Patent Ductus Arteriosis (PDA): the connection between pulmonary artery and aorta; so blood flow is going to be in upper extremities and like a hole this blood flow is going back into the lungs
  • causes heart failure and pulmonary hypertension Congenital Heart Disease- Obstructive Disorders: Coarctation of the Aorta - -----CORRECT ANSWER---------------Background: innominats go to the carotid, upper extremities, and the brain

Coarct=narrowing **Coarctation of the Aorta= narrowing of the aorta; which reduced blood flow to the body Narrowing occurs on the aortic arch and 99% of narrowing is after this

  • Blood pressure of upper extremities will be normal and blood pressure of lower extremities will be significantly lower- because the blood flow is not getting there because its narrow
  • Diminished blood flow, cyanosis in lower area, poor perfusion in lower extremities, MURMUR is heard *Congenital Heart Defects: Mixed Defects- Transposition of the Great Arteries ------CORRECT ANSWER---------------Background: In the normal heart the pulmonary artery comes off the right ventricle and the aorta comes off the left ventricle
  • In Transposition of the Great Arteries they are SWITCHED: So the aorta now comes off the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery comes off the left ventricle *So this results in deoxygenated blood going into the body *THIS IS AN EMERGENCY- when these kids are born they need to go into surgery right away and you only have 4-6 minutes *so they will give them a medicine to open all of the ducts- foramen ovale and ductus arteriosis and they will start it immediately once their born to get blood flow to the brain and body *These kids are born blue and they are happy Congenital Heart Defects- Mixed Defects: Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome ------CORRECT ANSWER---------------Background: normally the left ventricle pumps out blood
