Fontan Palliation
Across
- 2. Post-Fontan, the pt's O2 saturation goal should be _____% and above (spell it out)
- 5. Increases intrathoracic pressure and decreases pulmonary blood flow in fontans (abbreviation)
- 8. Vasoactive of choice for hypotension in fontans to help promote preload and decrease CT output
- 11. This indicator of PVR is calculated using CVP/fontan pressure and LAP and is typically between 5-8 (two words)
Down
- 1. A potential complication of fontans caused by fluid overload and pleural effusions leading to impaired pulmonary lymphatic drainage
- 3. This small opening may be added as a pressure release in cases of high right-sided pressures to preserve CO
- 4. Ideally, preformed early in fontans to improve intrathoracic hemodynamics
- 5. Due to the lack of pumping chamber, pulmonary blood flow is described as _____
- 6. The third and final stage of single ventricle palliation
- 7. Volume status should be closely monitored in fontans because pulmonary blood flow _____ dependent
- 9. Your pt will have these post-op to ensure AV synchrony and maintain CO in cases of SA node dysfunction or AV block (abbreviation)
- 10. Indicator of ventricular function, fluid volume status, atrioventricular valve regurgitation, and overall CO (abbreviation)
