Exam 2 BlueprintChapter 29
1. Review nursing care of a child undergoing cardiac catheterization including precatheterization,
postcatheterization, and home care.
**Catheterization Notes
Purpose: Can be diagnostic or therapeutic
To assess oxygen saturation and pressure in chambers, cardiac output, blood flow, anatomic
abnormalities
Interventional
o Closures
o Balloon catheters open narrow vessels/valves
o Insertion of valves
o Insertion of stents
Procedure:
o Radiopaque catheter inserted through a peripheral blood vessel into the heart
o Catheter is introduced through the vein in which a catheter is threaded over a guide wire
inserted through a large-born needle
**Pre-catheterization
Child will be NPO
IV fluid
Assess pedal pulses
Document allergy to radiopaque dye or shellfish
Sedation
Educate mother and child
**post-catheterization/home care
Child must lay still supine, with affected leg straight for 4-6 hours
Vital signs, insertion site observed
distal pulses checked q15 minutes x 1st hour, then q30 minutes
Observe for bleeding at site, pallor, loss of pulses, coolness in extremity distal to site
If bleeding occurs at insertion site, apply continuous pressure 1 inch above insertion
Push fluids to help flush dye out of the body
Observe for reactions to dye (vomiting, rash, increased creatinine, decreased urinary output)
Avoid baths for 3 days after catheterization
, 2. Identify clinical manifestations and management of heart failure in an infant and child.

Defect Tricuspid atresia Hypoplastic Left
Heart Syndrome
Patent Ductus Aortic Stenosis
Arteriosus
Clinical manifestations: four types
o Impaired myocardial function
Tachycardia; fatigue; weakness; restlessness; pale, cool extremities; decreased
BP; decreased urine output
o Pulmonary congestion
Tachypnea, dyspnea, respiratory distress, exercise intolerance, cyanosis
o Systemic venous congestion
Peripheral and periorbital edema, weight gain, ascites, hepatomegaly, neck vein
distention
Management/Medication Management
o Improve cardiac function: Digoxin (improves contractility)
Measure apical pulse (for 1 minute!) prior to administrating digoxin
Drug order usually specifies at what heart rate the drug is withheld
Narrow therapeutic index
Do not repeat a dose if the child vomits after administering drug
Signs of toxicity
Bradycardia
Anorexia
Nausea and vomiting
Visual disturbances
o Decrease preload:
Diuretics- Furosemide (Lasix)
Low sodium diet
o Decrease afterload
ACE Inhibitors-Vasodilation
Captopril, Vasotec
3. Review the following cardiac defects in terms of pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, treatment,
and nursing care: atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, coarctation of the
aorta, Tetralogy of Fallot, and Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome.
