Q

if pt comes in with tongue hanging out, drooling, fever, cyanosis what should you do

A

is an emergency pt needs to go to OR immediately; contact ENT and airway will be handled in the OR (most likely tracheotomy)

Q

what are some of the challenges with masking in pediatrics

A
  1. finger placement - easy for finger to move from mandible and into submental triangle –> occlusion 2. larger the tongue the harder to bag 3. you need a seal bc the INH agent is on 4. very challenging with babies

Q

if you are using an OPA on induction, when would be the best time to place it

A

not until you have an IV bc OPA will increase risk of laryngospasm

26
Q

ETT depth for child > 2 years of age

A

27
Q

T/F: awake tracheal intubations are common in peds

A

FALSE

28
Q

size of ETT in pt weighing less than 1 kg 1. cuffed ____________ 2. uncuffed ___________

A
  1. cuffed - N/A 2. uncuffed = 2 - 2.5 mm
29
Q

size of ETT in 1-2.5 kg pt 1. cuffed = __________ 2. uncuffed = ____________

A
  1. cuffed = N/A 2. uncuffed = 2.5 - 3.0
30
Q

size of ETT in neonate - 6 mo old 1. cuffed = ____________ 2. uncuffed = ____________

A
  1. cuffed = 3 2. uncuffed = 3 - 3.5
31
Q

size of ETT in 6 mo - 18 mo old 1. cuffed = _____________ 2. uncuffed = _______________

A
  1. cuffed = 3.5 2. uncuffed = 4
32
Q

size ETT in 18 mo - 2 year old 1. cuffed = ______________ 2. uncuffed = ____________

A
  1. cuffed = 4 2. uncuffed = 4.5
33
Q

formula for size of uncuffed ETT in children > 2 years of age

A

(age + 16)/4

34
Q

formula for size of cuffed ETT in children > 2 years of age

A

[(age + 16)/4] - 1/2 size

35
Q

what is the disadvantage of straight laryngoscope blades for peds

A

they can injure the epiglottis

36
Q

what was the theory behind using uncuffed ETT in children < 8 years of age

A

had decreased pressure on internal cricoid cartilage, thus caused less mucosal damage and decreased risk of post-extubation croup

37
Q

disadvantages to uncuffed ETT

A
  1. increased risk of repeated DL d/t incorrect sizing –> edema 2. leak –> wase of INH agent 3. changes in surgery dynamic (peritoneal insufflation) may drastically change leak status 4. paralysis can lead to greater relaxation and increased leak
38
Q

all cuffed ETTs in todays time are ____________ volume ___________ pressure

A

higher; lower

39
Q

what is a risk of prolonged intubation with cuffed ETT, esp in pre-term neonates

A

acquired subglottic stenosis

40
Q

what is the pathogenesis of acquired subglottic stenosis

A

there is ischemic injury to lateral wall pressure from ETT –> edema and narrowing of subglottic area

41
Q

advantages to cuffed ETT in peds

A
  1. less DL 2. better seal, which can be changed through the case if needed 3. decreased risk of aspiration
42
Q

typically you would go down __________ size from uncuffed for a cuffed ETT

A

2-Jan

43
Q

if you have placed a cuffed ETT, and are using N2O for the case, what should you be cautious of?

A

if long case, N2O can cause the cuff to expand –> so check cuff pressures

44
Q

advantage of LMA

A
  1. frees up providers hands 2. less room pollution 3. can use with vent 4. can pull deep or awake 5. great for children at risk for bronchial airway reactivity
45
Q

why should LMA still be cautioned in children with recent URI

A

because risk for laryngospasm is still so high

46
Q

what is the estimated blood volume in a preterm infant

A

100 mL/kg

47
Q

what is the estimated blood volume in a term infant

A

90 mL/kg

48
Q

what is the estimated blood volume in an infant

A

80 mL/kg

49
Q

what is the estimated blood volume in school aged child

A

70-75 mL/kg

50
Q

what is the estimated blood volume in an adult

A

70 mL/kg
