3/12/2019 Cardiac Cath – Why Bother? Cardiac Catheterization in • Respiratory Status Preterm Infants with – ventilatory settings, blood gases, chest CT UCSF Chronic Pulmonary • Cardiac Status Pediatric Pulmonary Hypertension Program Hypertension – echocardiography, EKG • Pulmonary Vascular Status – echocardiography David Teitel, MD • Metabolic Status 12th International Conference Neonatal & – growth Childhood Pulmonary Vascular Disease, San Francisco, March 2019 Teitel – 12 th International Neonatal and Childhood PVD Conference, March 2019 2 Echocardiography Cath – Questions to Answer • Respiratory Status • Complete echocardiogram to evaluate for structural – pulmonary venous blood gases may be of value heart disease, biventricular function, pressure • right-to-left foraminal shunt estimates and flow patterns • lobar gases re differential oxygenation and ventilation and responsiveness to 100% O 2 ± iNO • Specific PH findings • Cardiac Status – Dilated RA, RV, and PA – RV function - Q p , RA/RV pressure, afterload – RV hypertrophy – presence and extent of shunts – atrial, ductal – Abnormal interventricular septal alignment and motion – presence and extent of pulmonary venous pathology – TR jet to estimate PA pressure • Pulmonary Vascular Status – PI jet to estimate PA mean pressures – “baseline” pulmonary vascular resistance (total vs arteriolar) – Direction and velocity of shunting: – minimal resistance (reactivity to O 2 + iNO) atrial, ventricular and ductal Teitel – 12 th International Neonatal and Childhood PVD Conference, March 2019 Teitel – 12 th International Neonatal and Childhood PVD Conference, March 2019 3 1

3/12/2019 Cath – Problems to Fix Cath – Considerations & Caveats • “Baseline state” • During cath – effect of anesthesia, necessity to increase ventilatory support – device closure of PDA • Qp (Qs often equals Qp and less important to questions) – device closure of ASD – if Fick, need to assume oxygen consumption – pulmonary vein dilation • thermodilution when possible, and back-calculate VO 2 – mixed pulmonary venous saturation in presence of atrial r-l shunt • Post cath – mixed pulmonary arterial saturation with l-r ductal shunt – minimize RV afterload with a goal to reach minimal cath PVR – importance of including dissolved oxygen when pO2 ≥ 150 mmHg with therapy to assist in vascular remodeling • Pulmonary vascular resistance – what is normal for a premature infant? – how does one correct for damaged lung parenchyma?
