Q

if pt has abnormal lung sounds on phsyical assessment how should you proceed

A
  1. give preop nebulizer and reassess after the nebulizer 2. know that this pt is at increased risk for laryngospasm and bronchospasm 3. if still do not sound good after nebulizer, may need to have discussion with surgical team about delay

Q

preoperative labwork in peds to consider

A
  1. H/H 2. fluid balance panel 3. glucose level 4. coagulation studies
22
Q

T/F: INH induction can be done with anyone, even if they have an IV

A

TRUE

23
Q

there is an increased risk of ________________ with inhalational induction

A

spasm

24
Q

if you need an oral airway with inhalational induction, you have to be careful when placing it because it increases risk of _____________

A

spasm

25
Q

advantage of inhalational induction

A
  1. decreased need for IV meds 2. speeds turnover
26
Q

T/F: if inducing anesthesia with IV agents you may need more than you would in an adult

A

TRUE

27
Q

anesthesia implications for adenoid hypertrophy/enlarged nasal turbinates

A
  1. leads to problems with child breathing through nose (obligatory nose breathers) 2. increases resistance on inhalational induction
28
Q

sensory innervation to the nasopharynx

A
  1. trigeminal (V) 2. IX (glossopharyngeal)
29
Q

infants are obligatory nose breathers until ____________ age

A

6 months

30
Q

what is the purpose of being an obligatory nose breather in early life

A

allows for the coordination of suckling while they breathe

31
Q

sensory innervation to the nose

A

V - trigeminal

32
Q

risks for asphyxia within the first 6 months of life due to inability to breath through nose

A
  1. stenosis 2. sinusitis 3. choanal atresia
33
Q

children with ____________ are most at risk for sinusitis and impaired breathing within the first 6 months of life

A

CF

34
Q

why are infants obligatory nose breathers in the first 6 months of life

A
  1. coordinating suckling while they breathe 2. anatomy - tongue rests against roof of mouth while quiet breathing.
35
Q

considerations of the oropharynx in children

A
  1. lingual and palantine tonsils become enlarged in ALOT of kids 2. tongue is enlarged in proportion to oral cavity (even larger in those with down syndrome or beckwith weidiman)
36
Q

innervation to the oropharnyx

A

IX (glossopharyngeal) & X (vagus)

37
Q

anesthesia implications of the oropharynx in children

A
  1. tonsilar hypertrophy - esp if grade IV can cause huge problem with INH induction &/or DL 2. obstruction due to large tongue when going to sleep 3. cleft palate - laryngoscope wants to naturally fall into the cleft
38
Q

what are the paired cartilages of the larynx? and what are the unpaired?

A
  1. paried: corniuclate, cuneform, arytenoids 2. unpaired: epiglottis, thyroid, cricoid
39
Q

supraglottic sensory innervation of the larynx

A

internal branch of the SLN

40
Q

infraglottic sensory innervation of the larynx

A

recurrent laryngeal nerve

41
Q

motor innnervation to the cricothyroid muscle

A

external branch of SLN

42
Q

motor innervation to all muscles of the larynx except cricothyroid

A

RLN

43
Q

how is the epiglottis in the infant/neonate different that of the adult

A
  1. more narrow 2. omega shaped 3. angled away from the axis of the trachea
44
Q

T/F: the epiglottis in the infant is easier to pick up with laryngoscope blade than in the adult

A

false; harder to pick up due to being narrowed

45
Q

what is the narrowest point of the larynx in the infant

A

cricoid

46
Q

what is the narrowest point of the larynx in the adult

A

rima glottidis

47
Q

at what age does the narrowest part of the larynx shift from the cricoid to the rima glottidis

A

12-Oct

48
Q

post extubation of infant, the child has croup –> what do you think has occured

A

too large of ETT which caused edema subglottically (due to narrowest part being cricoid)

49
Q

lungs usually mature by ____________ weeks gestation

A

32

50
Q

the diaphragm and chest wall has less __________ type fibers –> the child going into respiratory arrest very fast

A
