1
Q

alarm emesis sx

A

projectile
not formula colored

  • worry: obstruction!
2
Q

projectile Bilious emesis

A
  • obstruction distal biliary tree

distal ligament of treitz

3
Q

projectile Non bilious emesis obstruction

A
  • obstruction above biliary tree (stomach or higher)
4
Q

normal baby emesis

A

not projectile
after eating
formula colored

5
Q

bilious emesis diagnostics

A

XRAY

6
Q

xray double bubble sign

A

malrotation if normal gas pattern after

duodenal atresia with NO gas after obstruction

7
Q

malrotation pathology

A

failure of gut rotation during embroygenesis

  • normal prenatal care
    no issues
  • can lead to strangulated bowel
8
Q

malrotation xray

A

double bubble sign yet normal gas pattern beyond

9
Q

confirm malrotation diagnostics

A

upper GI series

look for cutoff point

10
Q

malrotation tx

A

decompress NG tube, probably surgery esp if volvulus involved

11
Q

bilious emesis ddx

A
  1. malrotation
  2. duodenal atresia
  3. annular pancreas
  4. intestinal atresia
12
Q

duodenal atresia path

A

failure for duodenal to recannulize = obstruction

13
Q

duodenal atresia patho continued after obstruction

A
  • umbilical cord perfuses kidney well so will keep peeing
  • baby should be swallowing and absorbing fluid but with obstruction that does not occur
  • resutls in polyhydromnios
14
Q

duodenal atresia associated with

A

down syndrome

polyhydromnios

15
Q

duodenal atresia dx

A

xray: double bubble plus NO gas beyond

16
Q

duodenal atresia tx

A

surgery

17
Q

annular pancreas definition patho

A

pancreas grows on both sides of gut and does not mature and can squeeze down on duodenum

  • failure apoptosis of pancrease
  • leasd to mechanical obstruction of duodenal atresia
  • this form also associated with downs
  • tx surgery
18
Q

intestinal atresia patho def

A
  • when vascular accident occurs in utero
  • cuts off blood to dev. gut
  • mom uses vasoconstrictor (cocaine)
19
Q

intestinal atresia definition downs?

A

no association

20
Q

intestinal atresia sx

A

+/- polyhydraminos

21
Q

intestinal atresia xray

A

double bubble

multiple air fluid levels

22
Q

intestinal atresia tx

A

surgery

23
Q

intestinal atresia f/u concerns

A

short gut

24
Q

non bilious emesis ddx

A

tracheoesophageal fistula

pyloric stenosis

25
Q

tracheoesophageal fistula

A

5 types can have any combination of atretic areas or fistulas

26
Q

MC tracheoesophageal fistula

A

type C

  • blind pouch esophagus
  • fistula goes esophagus to stomach
  • stomach connects to trachea
  • food gets to lungs / aspiration
