Q

Is phenylepherine a good or bad choice for neonates?

why or why not

A

no bc neonates have a poorly compliant venticle so they cant significantly increase contractility to overcome an elevated afterload

*increasing the HR is the best way to support BP

Q

Is it better to increase the RR or TV for a neonate?

why?

A

RR - bc its metabolically more efficient since neonates consume twice as much oxygen and produce twice as much co2 than the adult

*explains why newbords have a high respiratory rate, yet tidal volume is the same as the adult on a per weight bases (6ml/kg)

Q

why do neonates respond to laryngoscopy with bradycardia?

A

bc autonomic regulation of the heart is immature at birth, with the SNS being less mature than the PNS, so the PNS takes over in times of stress

Q

Why is it that when the neonate gets older, they become relatively less depedent on HR to support cardiac output?

A

bc SVR is low in the neonate , but overtime the SVR increases and the LV has to pump agaisnt higher SVRs whigh lead to growth and development of the contractile elements of the LV.

What are some ways the pediatric ariway differs from the adult?

8 key points

A
  1. preferential nose breathers
  2. larger tongue relative to the volume of the mouth
  3. shorter neck
  4. “U” or “omega” shaped epiglottis that is longer and stiffer
  5. Vocal cords with an anterior slant
  6. Larynx at C3-4

Q

O2 consumption of adult vs neonate

A

adult = 3ml/kg/min
infant = 6ml/kg/min

bc the neonate has a higher ratio of alveolar ventilation relative to the size of their FRC, the o2 supply contained within the FRC is quickly depleted

Q

T/F- neonates desat so quickly mainly due to a decrease in FRC

A

False - the neonates high o2 consumption (twice that of a dult) will quickly exhaust the o2 reserve in the FRC (slighlty decreased) leading to rapid desaturation

6ml/kg/min o2 consumption (adult = 3)

Which statement regarding fetal hgb is TRUE?

A. It has a higher P50 than the adult
B. It is replaced by hgb A at 9 months of age
C. It has an increased affinity for 2,3,-DPG
D. Erythrocytes containing hemoglobin F have a shorter lifespan

A

D. Erythrocytes containing hemoglobin F have a shorter lifespan

70-90 days compared to hgbA - 120 days

55
Q

fetal RBC lifespan compared to HgbA rbc lifespan?

A

fetal= 70-90 days
adult = 120 days

56
Q

P50 of HgbF

compared to HgbA

why?

A

19mmHg

26.5mmHg

HgbF is unable to bind 2-3-DPG, explaining it’s higher affinity for o2

57
Q

when does HgbA begin to replace HgbF?

when is the process completed?

A

start to replace at 2 months

completed by 6 months

58
Q

How does a left shift in the oxyhemoglobin curve benfit the fetus?

A

bc it creates an oxygen partial pressure gradient across the uteroplacental membrane that facilitates the passage of o2 from mom to baby

59
Q

Why does HgbF have a higher affinity for O2 (sciency stuff)

A

Bc HgbF has 2 alpha and 2 gamma subunits (HgbA has 2 alpha and 2 beta)

-2,3,DPG only binds to the beta subunit (and increased 2,3-DPG shifts it to the right)
-Since HgbF has 2 gamma subunits instead of beta, it cannot bind 2,3,-DPG
-Therefore there is a left shift in the curve

60
Q

What is the hemoglobin at birth

When does the physiolgoic anemia occur?

A

17g/dL

month 2-3 (10g/dL)
–> think 23 is your bday and your always cold, 23, 2-3 months = physicologic anemia

61
Q

What is the purpose of fetal hemoglobin?

A

It facilitate the passage of O2 from mom to baby

  • gamma subnits cant bind 2-3, IPG; shifts to the left, creating a gradient

Q

Platelet transfusion is recommended for invasive procedures to maintain the platelet count above what?

A

50,000mm^3

66
Q

Why can giving PRBCs to neonates cause hyperkalemia and cardiac arrest?

A

bc when RBCs are stored, the cell membrane becoems dysfunctional, allowing potassium to leak

i mean couldnt this be an issue with adults too?

67
Q

What’s the goal of a PRBC transfusion

A

to increase oxygen-carrying capacity

68
Q

Why are transfusion triggers higher for infants/neonates vs adults?

A

bc they have a higher o2 demand and a decreased affinity for O2 (hgbF)- so they are less likely to release o2 to metabolically active tissue

69
Q

PRBC transfusion trigger in children < 4mo:

-severe CPD:
-for major surgery or moderate CPD:

dose

how much will it raise hgb?

A

-severe CPD: <13g/dL
-Major surgery or mod. CPD: < 10g/dL

10-15ml/kg

10ml/kg will raise hgb by 1-2g/dL

70
Q

Most clinicians will follow the Transfusion Practice Guidelines of the ASA Task Force on Blood Component Therapy for children older than what?

  1. Transfusion is rarely indicated if Hgb > ______
  2. Tranasfusion is almost always indicated if Hgb < ______
  3. Transfusion should be considered on an individual basis if _______
  4. The use of a universal transfusion trigger is not recommended .
A

older than 4months old without signficant CPD

*by this time RBCs containing Hgb A are beggining to proliferate, they have a lower affinity for o2 and are more willing to rlease o2 to metabolically active tissue

10-15ml/kg [10ml/kg will raise hgb by 1-2g/dL]

rarely needed if > 10
almost alwasy if < 6
individual basis 6-10

74
Q

Why is mass transfusion associated with:
-Hypothermia

A

Transfusion of cold blood

75
Q

Why is mass transfusion associated with:

Hyperglycemia

A

due to the dextrose additive to stored blood

76
Q

Why is mass transfusion associated with:

Hypocalcemia

A

bc calcium binds to citrate

77
Q

Why is mass transfusion associated with:

hyperkalemia

how to prevent it

A

due to the administration of older blood

-when RBCs are stored, the cell membrane becomes dysfunction, allowing potassium to leak

administer washed or fresh cells that are < 7 days old

78
Q

What is Graft-vs-host disease

(rare but devastating)- what does it lead to (4)

what can we do to prevent it that would be especially benificial in immunocompromised patients?

minimal 3-4
moderate 5-6
major 7-10

103
Q

Ratio of blood replacement for:
crystalloid, colloid, blood

A

crystalloid 3:1
colloid 1:1
blood 1:1

104
Q

when do signs of hypoglycemia manifest in the newborn?

A

<40mg/dL

105
Q

treatment of hypoglycemia in the newborn

what if seizures are present?

A

2ml/kg of 10% dextrose

double the dose to provide adequate substrate to the brain.
After bolus, D10 infusion at 8mg/kg/min to maintain serum glucose > 40

106
Q

A 2-week old neonate will be expected to demonstrate all of the following EXCEPT a/an:

A. increased free fraction of highly protein bound drugs
B. Faster circulation time
C. Larger volume of distribution for water-soluble drugs
D. Shorter duration of action for lipid-soluble drugs

A

D. Shorter DOA for lipid-soluble drugs

-neonates have more TBW and lower fat/muscle
-drugs that require fat for redistribution and termination of effect have a LONGER DOA, not shorter

107
Q

Do neonates require higher or lower doses of water-soluble drugs to achieve a given plasma concentration?

A

HIGHER - they are big bags of water, it’ll be diluted so you have to give more

108
Q

Cardiac output of a newborn in ml/kg/min

A

200ml/kg/min

109
Q

Some things to consider regarding kinetics and dynamics and dosing drugs i nthe newborn (7)

A
  1. Higher MAC
  2. immature BBB
  3. immature hepatic function
  4. immature renal function
  5. higher cardiac output (faster circ time)
  6. higher Vd of water-soluble drugs
  7. Low plasma protein (immature liver, liver makes albumin)
110
Q

when is hepatic function that of an adult?

A

1yo

111
Q

Neonates have a reduction in glucuronyl transferase. What two implications does this present?

A
  1. they cant conjugate bilirubin
  2. nor metabolize acetaminophen as well

glucuronyl transfersase helps conjugate bilirubin and metabolize tylenol

112
Q

At what age does MAC peak

how is this different with sevo?

A

2-3 months! (dilutional anemia - random)

Sevo:
0-6 months - MAC highest @ 3.2%
6mo-12yo - MAC lower, but still higher than adult (2.5)

113
Q

MAC of sevo for 6mo up to 12yo

when is the MAC of sevo the highest? what age and %

A

2.5%

0-6mo - 3.2%

114
Q

Why are neonates more sensitive to sedative-hypnotics?

A

bc of an immature BBB

115
Q

Anesthetic considerations for the administration of NMBs in the neonate include:

A. Avoidance of sux
B. a longer DOA of sux
C. a large dose of sux
D. a larger dose of sux and NDMRs

A

C. larger dose of sux

combo of increased ECF and normal sensitivity of sux requires an increased dose of 2mg/kg

*the black box warning on sux assoc w hyperkalemia with undiagnosed muscular dystrophy in kids under 8 is present; howerver, it still remians a suitable option for RSI, anticipated difficult airway, laryngospasm, or other airway emergencies

-te dose for nondepolarizers is the same for neonates and adults on a per kg basis

116
Q

Dose of sux for kids- IV

IM? (neonates and infants vs older kids)

why

A

2mg/kg

older kids = 4mg/kg, infants + neonates 5mg/kg

increased TBW (ECF) + normal sensitivity to sux

117
Q

T/F duration of sux is similar between neonates and adults

A

true

*

118
Q

t/f- the dose of nondepolarizers is the same for neonates and adults on a per kg basis

A

true

119
Q

Recovery from neuromuscular blockade includes a TOF > what and a maximum inspiratory force (MIF) less than what? (ex)

A

TOF > 90%
MIF < -25cm H20 (ex. -30cm H20)

120
Q

3 subjective data that seem to correlate with adequate recovery from NMB in the neonate

A
  1. grimacing
  2. elbow and hip flexion
  3. bringing knees to chest
121
Q

The neonatal NMJ is immature. When compared to adults, the NMJ is more sensitive to what and equally sensitive to what (NMBs)

A

more sensitive to NDMRs
equally sesnitive to sux

122
Q

In kids less than what age, sux may cause bradycardia or asystole

when is this most likely to occur

how to prevent?

A

kids < 5yo

after repeat administration (but can occur after 1st dose)

Pretreatment with Atropine 0.02mg/kg IV

123
Q

What would you do if your kid goes into cardiac arrest immediately following sux?

A

IV calcium

124
Q

What is the only nondepolarizer than can be given IM

dose (<1yo vs >1yo)

onset

A

Roc

<1yo = 1mg/kg, >1yo = 1.8mg/kg

3-4 minutes

125
Q

T/F- Vec is considered a long-acting NMB in the pediatric population

A

True- metabolized by the liver with active metabolites that may increase the DOA in this population

(compared to roc which is also metabolized by the liver but has no active metabolites)

0.1-0.15mg/kg

126
Q

Neostigmine dose - peak effect in how many mins
Edrophonium dose - peak effect in how many mins

which is associated with less muscarinic s/e’s ?

which anticholinergic pairs with each

A

neostigmine 0.05mg-0.07mg/kg) - peak in 10 mins
edrophonium 1mg/kg- peak in 2 mins

edrophonium less muscarinic s/e’s

atropine with edrophonium and glyco with neostigmine

127
Q

Why do neonates require a higher dose of sux compared to an adult?

A

neonates have higher TBW which offset the degree of NMJ immaturity

128
Q

calulate the mainance dose for a 2.5kg neonate

A

10ml/hr

4 x 2.5 = 10ml

129
Q

What is the PO2 when fental hemoglobin is 50% saturated by oxygen?

A

19

130
Q

What is the o2 consumption in a 3kg neonate?

A

18ml o2/min

6ml/kg/min

131
Q

A 1-month old, 4kg patient is presenting for major surugery. What volume of packed cells is needed to increase the hgb concentration from 8-10

30mls, 60mls, 120mls, 90mls

A

60mls

10ml/kg will raise it by 1-2
kid weighs 4kg and we need to increase by 2g
need to administer between 40-80ml of PRBCs

132
Q

Which vital signs represent abnormal findings in a newborn (select 2)

  • HR of 90
  • SBP of 60
  • RR of 50
  • DBP 40
A

HR 90 ( should be 140)
SBP 60 (should be 70)
