5. Foetal circulation is
different .
As lungs are
not used during
foetal stage ,
pulmonary
arterialcirculatio
n is non
functional which
results in
formation of
SHUNTS .
7. Normal foetal circulation
Foetal Blood goes
to Placenta
through 2
UMBILICAL
ARTERIES.
Blood from
Placenta is taken to
baby through 1
UMBILICAL
VEIN.(OXYGENAT
8. UMBILICAL VENOUS BLOOD GOES TO LIVER
In liver small amount goes to sinusoids , and large
portion goes to IVC through DUCTUS VENOSUS. (1st
shunt).
- Blood then drains to IVC through hepaticvenous
system. IVC also brings blood from lower part of body.
Then blood goes in right atrium.
In between right and left atrium, there is FORAMEN
OVALE (2nd Shunt), So blood enters left atrium through
FO (hole in septum secundum). Septum primum is also
present between RA and LA .
Blood from LA drains to LV and then to AORTA
9. Oygenated blood from mother (placenta) enters foetus
Umbilical vein
Enters foetal liver
Ductus venosus
IVC ( blood from other parts of body) + SVC
Right atrium
Foramen Ovale Tricuspid valve
left atrium(large amount) Right ventricle(small amt)
Left Ventricle Pulmonary system (as
lungs
are not functioning little
goes to lungs)
Ductus arteriosus
Aorta
Umbilical Artery
Placenta
10. Changes in fetal circulation
postnatally
After birth Placenta is not needed to serve
baby.
Also after Umbilical cord is cut , UA and UV
are no more needed.
UA Constrict and then UV Constrict.
Birth-----First cry----Lungs expands----no
resistance for blood in pulmonary circulation----
blood then gets oxygenated in lungs-----left
atrium---left ventricle---- aorta---– reversal of
Ductus Arteriosus.
11. High o2 , high bradykinin and low
PGe2 causes blockage of ductus
arteriosus.
Pressure in left atrium increases
and pressure in right atrium
decreases
12. AFTER BIRTH
UMBILICAL CORD IS CUT
Pulmonarty artery constricts----
blood going to placenta stops---
-----1ST UA Constricts ----- UV
constricts------DV Closes-----
Pressure in LA increases ---- FO
closes (its remanants forms
fossa ovalis)-----DA closes.
Small amount of blood goes to right ventricle then to pulmonary artery and then to Aorta through shunt.
SVC +IVC ---- RA---RV --- PA--- LUNGS----PV ----LA----LV --- AORTA----ORGANS----SVC+IVC
Right ventricle ---- pulmonary artery ----- lungs
Lungs when undergoses 1st inflation , releases bradykinin.
After birth, the ductus arteriosus normally closes within two or three days. This occurs by contraction of the muscles of the ductus; which are sensitive to oxygen, acetylcholine, bradykinin, and endothelin.Acetaminophen/paracetamol shows promise for treating a patent ductus arterious. Multiple small studies show close equivalence to indomethacin and ibuprofen, although it may be less effective in infants previously treated with indomethacin or ibuprofen or in the smallest infants. It is administered intravenously 15mg/kg/dose every 6 hours for 3 to 8 days, and most studies were 3 days, continuing to 6 days if closure was not achieved. Liver enzymes should be monitored for toxicity
UA consricts 1st cause we need to first stop blood following to placenta
