Embryological Dev. and Assessment of the Cardiopulmonary System
  1. Data in Patient Record
    1. perinatal history and data: maternal, paternal and social history (i.e heart defects, abnormalities or congenital heart disease history.
      1. gestational age: New Ballard Score, maturation of neonates from 20-44 wks. based on neuromuscular and physical criteria. classified as Large (LGA, >90%), Appropriate (AGA 10-90%) or Small (SGA, <10%) for Gestational Age. Congenital inf. and Chromosomal disorders should be considered in SGA's
        1. APGAR: 5 categories worth 2 pts. each assessing skin color, HR, reflexes, muscle tone and breathing. higher score is better
          1. chest X-ray
            1. cardiac cath reports
              1. blood gas
                1. vitals
                  1. signs of distress
                    1. hemodynamic monitoring
                      1. gestational age (Dubowitz): uses physical characteristics and neurological characteristics to estimate the baby's gestational age within 1-2 weeks of the true gestational age.
                        1. heart sounds
                        2. Embryonic Lung Growth
                          1. Embryonal (4-7 wks)
                            1. Pseudoglandular Stage (7-17wks)
                              1. Canalicular Stage (17-26 wks)
                                1. Saccular Stage (26-36 wks)
                                  1. Alveolar Stage (36 wks - 2yrs)
                                    1. Lung maturity determined by L/S ratio (Lecthicin to Sphygimomylen), a test of fetal amniotic fluid. maturation and proliferation, neonates born w/15-20% adult #, rapid during first 1.5 yrs - 8 yrs full dev. 
                                      1. SURFACTANT: a soap like substance that lowers the surface pressure of the alveoli in the lungs. Surfactant is a mix of lipids, proteins, glycoproteins (lecithin and sphingomyelin are 2) Lecithin makes the surfactant mixture more effective. Begins to appear during pseudoglandular stage when type 11 pneumocytes start to develop in alveoli, they are rep. for producing -secreting-storing-and recycling surfactant.
                                        1. Fetal lung fluid: fetal airways are fluid filled from canalicular period to birth. high in chloride and sodium ions, low in bicarbonate, protein and Ph. essential for normal lung development,Too much fluid = dec. in type II cells. Too little fluid = inc. type II cells. Fluid maintains patency of developing airways helping form spaces, bust be evacuated at birth through rapid absorption or vaginal birth. C-sections at risk for transient tachypnea or respiratory distress syndrome type II.
                                      2. terminal struc. = saccules, sec. crests, Alveoli @ 32-36wks, more surface area for gas ex.
                                      3. capillary networks form, consd. dev. @ 20 wks., eff. gas exchange occurs, Acinar (alveoli units start to develop)  Type I/type II cells differentiated  Air-blood barrier thin enough for gas exchange. survival at 22-24 wks
                                      4. Conducting airways continue to develop. Terminal/respiratory bronchioles and alveolar ducts differentiate. Chemical mediators turn respiratory epithelium into Type II cells. Cilia , Goblet cells, smooth muscle, cartilage, and lymphatics appear
                                      5. Lung bud forms from pharynx at 26 days, then form trachea and bronchial buds  Tracheoesophageal septum forms, Pulmonary arteries and veins begin to develop, Respiratory epithelium develops
                                    2. Embryological Dev. of the Heart
                                      1. begins during 3rd wk of gestation, fully formed (chambers, vales, vessels) by 8 wks. gestation
                                        1. Maternal lungs/liver perform functions for corresponding fetal organs. Fetal circulation shunts blood away from these corresponding fetal organs, and close at birth.
                                          1. placenta - umbilical vein - ductus venosus (50% to liver 50% to Inf. VC) - inferior vena cava - r. atrium - foramen ovale (80-90% to L. atrium, 10-20% to r. ventricle - pulmonary artery - ductus arteriosus (75-90% to aorta 10-25% to lungs - pulmonary veins) - l. artrium - l. ventricle - aorta - umbilical arteries - placenta.
                                            1. as the blastocyst implants in the uterine lining for nourishment, the umbilical cord attaches to the chorionic villi and diffuses nutrients through the endometrial lining. The umbilical cord connects the fetus to the placenta , consists of 2 arteries and 1 vein. Wharton's Jelly inside the cord protects vessels and prevents kinking of the cord.
                                              1. The placenta is an organ of respiration formed by the chorionic villi embedded deep in the endometrium. It receives nutrients and eliminates waste, small pockets contain fetal vessels and spaces with maternal blood, there is no mixing of blood, the exchange follows a high to low concentration gradient.
                                                1. Amniotic Fluid allows the fetus to move and provides protection, thermoregulation, and aids in dilation/effacement of the cervix during labor. It cont. maternal fluids and fluids from amniotic membrane, replenished by fetal urine and lung fluid.
                                                  1. polyhydramnios is excessive amniotic fluid
                                                    1. oligohydramnios is too little amniotic fluid. urinary obstruction, limb deformities and lung hypoplasia
                                                      1. Assessment of Fetal Growth and Development
                                                        1. Ultrasound is used to evaluate fetal growth, anatomy and position
                                                          1. amniocentesis can be performed by sampling a small amount of the amniotic fluid, can be used for detecting fetal infections or chromosomal abnormalities.
                                                            1. L/S ratio for testing lung maturity
                                                              1. detection of certain congential defects through (alpha) fetoprotein testing
                                                                1. biliruben testing for elevated levels that could indicate fetal hemolytic disease,liver disease or insetting obstruction.
                                                                  1. creatinine concentrations could indicate fetal maturity of 36-37 wks. and should correspond with the L/S ratio.
                                                                    1. meconium staining tints the fluid yellow, red, brown, or red and indicates possible distress, death, or hemolytic disease.
                                                                      1. cytological examination of fetal cells for determining fetal maturity
                                                                      2. fetal asphyxia occurs when the fetus is deprived of an adequate supply of oxygen, testing the scalp pH can help the doctor decide whether the fetus is getting enough oxygen during labor. norm >7.25
                                                                        1. NST vs. CST: NonST's monitor fetal HR with spontaneous movements, while ContrationST monitor HR with induced contractions while mother is given diluted oxytocin solution
                                                                          1. Vibroacoustic stimulation (VAS), or fetal acoustic stimulation test (FAST), is the application of a vibratory sound stimulus to the abdomen of a pregnant woman to induce FHR (fetal heart rate) accelerations.
                                                                2. pressure is higher in the right atrium than the left due to influx of maternal blood and the shunting if blood to the l.artrium
