    This document discusses treatments for cyanotic heart defects. It begins with background on cyanotic heart defects, which are congenital conditions that result in low blood oxygen. There are seven main types described, including Tetralogy of Fallot. Treatment depends on severity, with immediate surgery in very severe cases or delayed surgery. In less severe cases, medication may be used to manage symptoms until surgery. The conclusion restates that cyanotic heart defects cause low blood oxygen and discusses the types and treatments.

    INTRODUCTION

    BACKGROUND OF THE
    STUDY
    Congenital Heart Disease
    Incidence : Approximately 5 - 8 in 1000
    live births (Park, 2003)
    About 2 - 3 in 1000 infants will be
    symptomatic during the first year of life
    with significant heart disease that will
    require treatment (Hoffman & Kaplan, 2002)

    Congenital Heart Disease


    Most common type of birth defect
    Causes more deaths in the first year of
    life than any other birth defects
    Divided into two types:
    A. Cyanotic
    B. Non-cyanotic

    Cyanotic Heart Defect


    A condition present at birth related to
    abnormal blood circulation that results to
    low levels of oxygen in the blood
    A common symptom is a bluish tint to the
    skin, called cyanosis
    Cyanotic newborns are often called blue
    babies

    THESIS STATEMENT
    Depending on the severity of the case,
    cyanotic heart defects may be repaired
    through immediate or delayed surgery.

    SIGNIFICANCE OF THE
    STUDY
    Accurately tracking congenital heart defects
    (CHDs) is the first step in preventing them
    and reducing their effect.
    Birth defects tracking systems identify
    babies born with birth defects, including
    CHDs, and collect information to learn more
    about these conditions.

    BODY

    TYPES OF
    CYANOTIC HEART DEFECTS

    Tetralogy of Fallot
    A combination of four heart defects:
    1. a hole between the RV and LV
    2. a narrow pulmonary valve
    3. a thickening of the RV muscles
    4. a misplaced aortic valve
    Most common form of cyanotic
    congenital heart defect

    Ebstein's Anomaly
    Parts of the tricuspid valve called
    leaflets or flaps are abnormally developed

    Hypoplastic Left Heart


    Syndrome
    left side of the heart does not develop
    completely and unable to send enough
    blood to the body

    Total Anomalous
    Pulmonary
    Venous Return
    the four veins that take blood from the
    lungs to the heart do not attach normally
    to the left atrium

    Transposition of the
    Great Vessels
    The two major vessels that carry blood
    away from the heart - the aorta and the
    pulmonary artery - are transposed.

    Tricuspid Atresia
    The tricuspid heart valve is missing or
    abnormally developed
    Blood flow from the RA to the RV is
    blocked

    Truncus Arteriosus
    a single blood vessel (truncus
    arteriosus) comes out of the RV and LV,
    instead of the normal two
    vessels(pulmonary artery and aorta)

    TREATMENT OF
    CYANOTIC HEART DEFECTS
    Treatment depends on the severity of
    symptoms.
    In very severe cases, the surgery may
    need to be performed soon after birth.
    In other instances, the surgery can be
    delayed until the child is older.

    TREATMENT OF
    CYANOTIC HEART DEFECTS
    If surgery is delayed, a child may be
    given medications to treat the disease.
    Medications can help to eliminate extra
    fluids from the body, get the heart
    pumping better, keep blood vessels open,
    and regulate abnormal heart rhythms.

    CONCLUSION
    Cyanotic heart defect is a congenital
    condition related to abnormal blood
    circulation that results to low levels of
    oxygen in the blood.
    A common symptom is a bluish tint to
    the
    skin, called cyanosis.

    CONCLUSION
    There are seven types of cyanotic heart
    defects.
    In very severe cases, immediate
    surgery is needed. Otherwise, surgery
    may be delayed.
