Newborn Problems Cyanosis Low Cardiac Output
3
Newborn Problems - Cyanosis
Cardiac Cyanosis Does not respond to oxygen Does not respond to ventilation Usually no respiratory distress
4
Newborn Problems - Cyanosis
Evaluation Chest x-ray Arterial blood gasses Echocardiogram
5
Newborn Problems - Cyanosis
Right sided obstructive lesions Pulmonary atresia Tricuspid atresia Tetralogy of Fallot
6
Tricuspid Atresia
8
Newborn Problems - Cyanosis
Abnormal Circulations Transposition of the great arteries Total anomalous pulmonary venous return
9
Transposition of the Great Arteries
10
TAPVR
11
Newborn Problems - Cyanosis
Treatment PGE1 Restoration of acid/base balance Surgical Evaluation
12
Newborn Problems - Cyanosis
PGE1 0.1 mcg/kg/min Any intravenous site UAC UVC Peripheral Interosseous
14
Newborn Problems Low Cardiac Output
Shock Metabolic acidosis Circulatory shutdown
15
Newborn Problems Low Cardiac Output
Evaluation Chest x-ray Arterial blood gasses Echocardiogram Electrocardiogram
16
Newborn Problems Low Cardiac Output
Left Sided Obstructive lesions Hypoplastic left heart Critical aortic stenosis Critical coarctation of the aorta
17
Hypoplastic Left Heart
18
Severe Coarctation
19
Newborn Problems Low Cardiac Output
Muscle diseases Myocarditis Cardiomyopathies Sepsis Asphyxia
21
Newborn Problems Low Cardiac Output
Heart Rate Problems Supraventricular tachycardias Complete heart block
22
Newborn Problems Low Cardiac Output
Supraventricular Tachycardia Narrow Complex Heart Rate > 220 bpm Usually > 240 bpm
23
Narrow Complex Tachycardia
24
Newborn Problems Low Cardiac Output
Complete Heart Block Heart rate below 60 bpm No relationship between P waves and QRS’s
25
Complete Heart Block
26
Newborn Problems Treatment Left heart obstructive lesions
Muscle diseases Heart rate problems PGE1 Inotropic support and afterload reduction Slow down or speed up
28
Infant and Childhood Problems
Hypercyanotic spells Congestive heart failure Arrhythmias
29
Infant and Childhood Problems
Hypercyanotic Spells Tetralogy of Fallot Pulmonary Atresia
30
Tetralogy of Fallot
31
Infant and Childhood Problems
Hypercyanotic Spells Sudden decrease in pulmonary blood flow, usually in the morning Provocation
32
Hypercyanotic Spells Treatment Calming Oxygen Morphine Beta Blocker
Phenylepherine
33
Hypercyanotic Spells Phenylepherine
Increase systemic vascular resistance which leads to less R - > L shunting and improved saturation
34
Hypercyanotic Spells Long Term Treatment with Propranolol
Indication for surgery, either palliative shunt or total repair
36
Congestive Heart Failure
Differing etiology at different ages
37
Congestive Heart Failure
Presentation in Infancy Structural Diseases: Left Heart Obstructions First days: Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome Critical aortic stenosis First month: Coarctation of the aorta First 2 months: Left-to-right Shunts VSD, PDA, Truncus Arteriosus
38
Congestive Heart Failure
Presentation after infancy Progression of structural heart disease Arrhythmias Infectious diseases Later onset myopathies Toxins: Anthracyclines Diphtheria
39
Congestive Heart Failure
Pre-load Contractility Heart Rate Determinants of Cardiac Output Afterload
40
Congestive Heart Failure
Preload reduction Diuretics Fluid Restriction High caloric density
41
Congestive Heart Failure
Afterload reduction ACE inhibitors Nitroprusside
42
Congestive Heart Failure
Heart Rate modification Beta Blockers Also treats diastolic dysfunction
43
Contractility Acute Treatment Beta Agonists Dopamine
Dobutamine Afterload reduction also Epinepherine Dopamine Increased myocardial demands Milrinone
44
Contractility Milrinone increases contractility and reduces afterload without increasing myocardial oxygen demand
45
Contractility Chronic Treatment Digoxin New Treatments
47
Arrhythmias Narrow Complex Tachycardias
48
Arrhythmias Supraventricular Tachycardia
49
Arrhythmias Re-entrant Tachycardias AV node re-entry
Wolfe-Parkinson-White
50
Wolfe-Parkinson White
51
Arrhythmias Treatment Pre-hospitalization Diving reflex Valsalva
Ice Bag to the face Valsalva Carotid Massage
52
Arrhythmias Hospitalization Adenosine Diagnostic and therapeutic
53
Arrhythmias Adenosine 100 mcg/kg IV rapid push
Repeat every 5 minutes with increasing doses
54
Arrhythmias Shock requires Shock Synchronized cardioversion 1 joule/kg
55
Arrhythmias If adenosine fails: Calcium Channel blockers
Not in infants!
56
Arrhythmias Digoxin Loading Procainamide loading Repeat adenosine
58
Ventricular Tachycardia
Image 3 Ventricular Tachycardia
59
Wide Complex Tachycardias
Treat all as if Ventricular Tachycardia
60
Wide Complex Tachycardias
Unstable rhythm requires Cardioversion 2 joules/kg
61
Ventricular Fibrillation
Image 4 Ventricular Fibrillation
62
Wide Complex Tachycardias
Medical therapy Lidocaine Amiodarone
63
Wide Complex Tachycardias
Surgical Therapy Automatic Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator
