NCLEX Bootcamp Crash Course - Congenital Heart Defects Explained | Shunts, Obstruction, Mixing | NCLEX Review

NCLEX Bootcamp Free Resources: Free NCLEX Cheat Sheets - https://bootcamp.com/nclex/free-resources Free NCLEX Practice Cases and Video Explanations - https://bootcamp.com/nclex Congenital heart defects are a big pediatric topic on the NCLEX® because the clues can look similar, but the priorities are different. In this video, you will learn normal blood flow, how defects change flow, and how to quickly tell cyanotic from acyanotic defects. What you will learn • Cyanotic defects, why babies turn blue, and why these are more urgent • The cyanotic T defects, with focus on Tetralogy of Fallot and Transposition of the Great Arteries • Tet spells, what triggers them, knee to chest positioning, oxygen, and meds • Why prostaglandin E1 is used in TGA to keep the ductus open for mixing until surgery • Acyanotic defects, the heart failure pattern and what it looks like in infants • Left to right shunts, PDA and septal defects, key murmurs and pulse findings • Obstructive defects, coarctation and stenosis, blood pressure and pulse differences • Nursing care, small frequent feedings, cluster care, fluid balance monitoring, and HF meds • Post op priorities after cardiac surgery, bleeding, low cardiac output, infection prevention By the end, you will have a clear set of nursing priorities, including maintaining hydration, preventing overexertion, using small frequent feeds, and recognizing bleeding, infection, and low cardiac output after surgery. ⏱️ Timestamps 0:14 Pathophysiology 0:54 Cyanotic Defects 5:45 NCLEX Quick Check #1 6:11 Acyanotic Defects 9:42 NCLEX Quick Check #2 10:19 Postoperative Care 10:58 NCLEX Quick Check #3 NGN Strategy Course Playlist - https://app.bootcamp.com/nclex/next-gen-cases/qbanks Follow us on Social: Study Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/nclexbootcampstudentgroup Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/nclexbootcampoffical Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nclexbootcamp TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nclex_bootcamp _______________________________________________________________ congenital heart defects, congenital heart defects nursing, congenital heart defects nclex, congenital heart defects enclex, pediatric cardiac nursing, cyanotic vs acyanotic heart defects, cyanotic heart defects, acyanotic heart defects, blue baby syndrome, hypoxemia newborn, right to left shunt, left to right shunt, mixing lesions, tetralogy of fallot, tet spells, hypercyanotic spell, knee chest position tet spell, 100 percent oxygen tet spell, morphine tet spell, transposition of the great arteries, tga nursing, prostaglandin e1 ductus arteriosus, keep pda open, patent ductus arteriosus, pda continuous machinery murmur, bounding pulses wide pulse pressure, indomethacin pda closure, atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, avsd, heart murmur septal defect, coarctation of the aorta, upper extremity hypertension lower extremity hypotension, weak femoral pulses, aortic stenosis congenital, pulmonic stenosis congenital, heart failure signs infant, poor feeding congenital heart disease
