NURS 3444 Study Guide - Quiz Guide: Ductus Venosus, Ductus Arteriosus, Umbilical Artery
Document Summary
Chd: a defect in the heart or great vessels or persistence of a fetal structure after birth, co(cid:374)ge(cid:374)ital: a(cid:374)ato(cid:373)i(cid:272) a(cid:271)(cid:374)or(cid:373)al fu(cid:374)(cid:272)tio(cid:374, acquired: disease process. Asd and vsd: noonan, williams, holt oram, digeorge. Impede blood flow out of ventricles aortic or pulmonic stenosis, Cyanosis: a concentration of 5 g/dl of deoxygenated hemoglobin is present in the blood. Increased pulmonary blood flow defects: atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect most common, patent ductus arteriosus, arterioventricular canal. Hemodynamics in defects with increased pulmonary blood flow: abnormal connection between two sides of heart. Increased blood volume on right side of heart. Increased pulmonary blood flow: decreased systemic blood flow. Infective endocarditis prophylaxis is required until 6mo after corrective surgery: long term survival following successful surgery is unknown, arrhythmias and mitral valve insufficiency occur postoperatively. Infants with/without downs have similar short-term survival rates. Toddler diagnosed with acyanotic cardiac defect, assessment data that would most likely indicate chf: cardiac volume overload.
