- 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:

RegisteredNurseRN please can you make a video for cancer and hiv. We have a test on both in less than 3 weeks. Thanks
Thanks for the clarification!
I was a bit confused between prostaglandin and prostaglandin inhibitors that’s why I watched your video and you made why we need prostaglandin in Coarctation of the Aorta so clear. Thank you!
Love your channel. Thanks for your content. Can you make a video of aortic and pulmonary stenosis?
After watching your video I realized how simple it is... Want to be your student mam... Respect and love from India 🙏💐
Sarah,
I’ve been watching your videos for the last 3 months as I prepared for the NCLEX. I have been out of school for approximately 1 year with severe test anxiety which almost broke me down. 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 ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for your message, and congrats on passing the NCLEX first try! That is such an awesome accomplishment. I'm so glad that you found my videos helpful, and I pray that you have a blessed career as a new nurse. Thanks again, and may God greatly bless you!
YAY! Congrats! I hope that happens for me as well!
I want to say Thankyou then & THANKYOU now ~ All the way from Australia 🇦🇺
whilst i was a University student studying bachelor of Nursing your CZcams 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.
Thank you so much nurse Sarah for your amazing videos! You clearly explain all the disorders and the nursing interventions. I literally attribute my nursing school success to you! Thank you!!
I'm an emt-I ...watch videos all the time thanks for the good info...helps me with with remembering anatomy and understanding other more advanced concepts
U are a life saver! I was learning this in peds class today and the whole time I was in class I was thinking to check your channel and see if u have this topic on there. U just have a way of breaking down content that i understand it better. Thank u!
Amazing lecture!!!! I always watch these videos after my classes and study for my exams.Honestly her explanation is way better than my instructor.....excellent!!!!!
Thank you Sarah for all your videos that helps me passed my cmsrn exam. It is very helpful and made me understand the principle of diseases. God bless you.
I have had this since I was born but my parents never explained it to me in detail so just wanted to say thank you. I've had 2 different bypasses and multiple balloon Operations and then a pigs valve when I was 12. I'm 28 now and about to get a new one, thank you again for the detailed information you are awesome.
Hi did you ever have open heart surgery to remove the narrowed area?
@@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.
Hey Sarah! I just wanted to reach out and say thank you for all of your hard work that you’ve placed in creating the content that you post. I just graduated Nursing school and am about to take my NCLEX. Your content is extremely helpful and very easy to follow. Thank you for supporting my education and you have helped me earn my degree. God bless you, and please continue your work!
