A localized dila on of an artery either within the original diameter of the artery (fusiform) or an
out pouching of the artery (saccular).
Aor c Aneurysm
What is aor c aneurysm the result of
a weakening of the arterial wall and occurs where arteries curve or flex.
Where is the aor c aneurysm located?
Can be in the abdominal area such as abdominal aor c aneurysm or thoracic aorta
What is the cause of aor c aneurysm?
• Hypertension
• Atherosclerosis
• Smoking
• Age
• Family history
• Syphilis
• Marfan's syndrome
• Blunt trauma.
Sudden expansion with danger; the pa ent may experience a sudden increase in pain with
radia on to groin, bu,ocks, and legs with signs and symptoms of hypovolemic shock.
Ruptured Abdominal Aor c Aneurysm
blood has tunneled into the artery wall between the layers of the arterial wall. The effect is
decreased perfusion to organs.
Aor c Dissec on
What is Aor c Dissec on accompanied by?
by diaphoresis, nausea, vomi ng, faintness, apprehension.
What is the treatment for treatment for Aor c Dissec on?
,for par al dissec on is medical management with control of blood pressure maintained below
100-120 mmHg, or in the event of dissec on with hemodynamic compromise,surgical repair
surgical repair.
Blood is diverted into the artery wall.
Aor c Dissec on
A narrowing in the aorta usually near the ductus arteriosus, causing increased pressure in the
head and upper extremi es and decreased pressure in the body and lower extremi es.
Coarcta on of the Aorta (CoA)
Blood flows from the aorta to the pulmonary artery through an opening, which usually closes
during the first weeks of life
Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA):
Aor c dissec on symptoms
are sudden pain described as tearing, ripping, or stabbing in the anterior chest, back, neck,
throat, jaw, or teeth.
AD
Blood does not flow easily because the entrance of the pulmonary artery is narrow, causing
hypertrophy of the RV
Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF):
Blood flows between all four chambers due to a low ASD, high VSD and modified valves.
Atrioventricular Septal Defect (ASD):
Blood does not flow because the aor c valve has narrowed, causing hypertrophy in the LV and
decreased cardiac output
Pulmonic Stenosis (PS)
Ineffec ve airway clearance related to retained secre ons as evidenced by abnormal breath
sounds. What's outcome?
Pt. Will exhibit clear breath sounds in bilateral lower lobes a=er nebulizer and chest
physiotherapy (PT)
Ineffec ve airway clearance related to retained secre ons as evidenced by abnormal breath
sounds. What's interven ons?
,-Provide nebulizer treatment and chest and chest physiotherapy/postural drainage as
prescribed
-Administer IV an bio cs on me
