Coarctation of the Aorta Nursing Pediatrics | Congenital Heart Disease Defects

Coarctation of aorta nursing pediatrics NCLEX review (congenital heart disease defect).
What is coarctation of the aorta? It's a congenital heart defect where narrowing is present in the aorta.
What does the aorta do? It’s the largest artery is the body! It’s a very important structure that comes off of the left ventricle. It carries rich oxygenated blood that has just left the lungs to go to the body via a network of arteries that supply the brain, upper/lower extremities, organs, and tissues.
Quick Facts about CoA:
In coarctation of the aorta, the narrowing of the aorta tends to occurs AFTER the left subclavian artery, either before or after the ductus arteriosus.
There are different types of CoA: Preductal and postductal
According to CDC.gov, 1,600 babies in the U.S. are born with this condition each year.
It can be diagnosed during a prenatal visit with fetal ultrasound or after birth with an echocardiogram.
It’s thought to be caused by the tissue that makes up the ductus arteriosus, which has extended into a section of the aorta. Therefore, when the ductus arteriosus NORMALLY closes a section of the aorta narrows too.
Signs and symptoms coarctation of the aorta include: very strong bounding pulses in the upper extremities while absent to diminished pulses are in the lower extremities, hypertension in the upper extremities (more than 20 mmHg when compared to the lower extremities), headaches, heart failure (left side), nose bleeds, systolic heart murmur located on the interscapular region on the left
Nursing interventions for coarctation of the aorta include: monitor for heart failure, assess pulses and blood pressure, education about treatment and complications after treatment (restenosis and hypertension) etc.

    Hey Everyone! At 16:08 when I talk about treatment, I discuss how a prostaglandin infusion is used to keep the PDA open until surgery. Please disregard the pop-up that says "prostaglandin inhibitors". It should have said "prostaglandin infusion" rather than prostaglandin inhibitors. Thanks for studying with me :) Don't forget: Quiz: www.registerednursern.com/coarctation-aorta-nclex-questions/ Notes: www.registerednursern.com/coarctation-of-aorta-nclex/ More Congenital heart defect videos: kzread.info/dash/bejne/opmhpqSCnLKphNY.html *Nursing Gear: **teespring.com/stores/registerednursern* Facebook: facebook.com/RegisteredNurseRNs Instagram: instagram.com/registerednursern_com/ Twitter: twitter.com/NursesRN

I sat for my test yesterday and passed first time. Got the news just now!!! Thank you for building my confidence little by little thru your videos. God bless you and grant your deepest wishes ❤️❤️❤️

    I want to say Thankyou then & THANKYOU now ~ All the way from Australia 🇦🇺 whilst i was a University student studying bachelor of Nursing your KZread videos are why I survived University and further why I ended up understanding the underpinning foundations beyond those around me in university and once registered on the floor. Prior to that I struggled in silence yet studied harder than anyone I knew but still didn’t understand. However once i found your channel, It was no longer trying to get that pass mark or accepting p’s = degrees. Instead i was motivated and driven to understand everything that I didn’t. Well here i am watching all your videos again 7 years graduated! I am refreshing my knowledge as i am about to return to the ER post maternity leave. Your videos were then and are still now the absolute best ones going that can educate any level of nurse learner.. Not many can say they achieve that.

    @@adriennecurry1303 I have gotten a new account and revisited this, I know it’s been a year but yes, when I was 3 weeks old I was told that they replaced it with a vain from my left arm, then many operations over the years till I was 12 happen with a balloon to keep it wide, when I turn 12 I got a pig’s valve, and a graff done and have only ever had one more operation when I was 20 because there might have been a problem. I am told being 31 now I may need another and have actually been waiting to find out more.
