Cardiac issues are common in preterm infants which means it’s crucial for care providers to be knowledgeable about the presentation and clinical management of arrythmias and heart defects. Learn more about common neonatal dysrhythmias (e.g., supraventricular tachycardia, heart block), their clinical presentation and how to treat them. We will also look at the common neonatal heart defects, how to stabilize the neonate before intervention, and perioperative clinical care.
Learning Objectives:
1. Describe the physiology and clinical management of common arrhythmias seen in preterm infants
2. List four common heart defects seen in preterm infants and their clinical presentation
3. Describe the typical preoperative medical/nursing care of preterm infants with a heart defect
4. Explain the common surgical management for common preterm heart defects and postoperative care requirements
