Grade I murmur ✅barely audible in a quiet room
Grade IV murmur ✅Loud with thrill
Grade II murmur ✅quiet but clearly audible
Grade III murmur ✅moderately loud, easy to hear murmur
Grade VI murmur ✅exceptionally loud, audible without stethoscope
Grade V murmur ✅very loud, thrill easily palpable
X-ray ✅see the size and shape of the heart
ECG ✅tracks electrical activity of the heart
Echocardiogram ✅ultrasound of the heart to see the flow
Cardiac catheterization (CC) ✅passage of a catheter into the heart through a vein or
artery to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the heart
Weight, height, NPO, no diaper rash, no infections ✅what are the pre-op instructions

Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) ✅an abnormal opening between the pulmonary artery
and the aorta caused by failure of the fetal ductus arteriosus to close after birth
Left to right ✅which way will the blood shunt with a patient that has a patent ductus
arteriosus?
Indomethicin/ibuprofen, it will close the hole ✅what is the treatment for patent ductus
arteriosus? Why?
