26
when to get surgery for cleft lip
2-3 months of age
Lips get repaired early bc of speech and feeding
baby may need restraints postop
27
when to get surgery for cleft palate
6-12 months
Palate cant be done until child has transition off a bottle because the roof of mouth has sutures, and suction can rip them out
28
who is cleft lip/palate more common in
native american populations
29
esophageal atresia
failure of esophagus to develop continuously, there is a gap
Food will come back up after first feed, aspiration. No food goes to belly, surgery needed
may have excessive saliva on day 1 bc it cant be swallowed since it has no where to go. choking may also be seen
30
tracheosophageal fistula
failure of the trachea to separate into a distinct structure. maintain patent airway
Some food will go to belly, some will go to lungs via fistula. surgery
31
what often accompanies tracheosophageal fistula
esophageal atresia
if you have one you likely have both, all food would go to lungs.
often caught with good prenatal care and can be fixed before we give first feeding
32
what do we want umbilical hernia to be
soft
these typically go away on own
33
hypertrophic pyloric stenosis
muscle arounds pylorus enlarges and thickens, narrows opening and leads to obstruction.
usually found within first few weeks of life
dx by ultrasound
33
hypertrophic pyloric stenosis s/s
olive size mass on palpation , projectile vomiting during/after eating, poor weight, dehydration,
34
hypertrophic pyloric stenosis care
rehydration comes first. do bolus then see if electrolytes needed
pyloromyotomy surgery after
post op- dont feed right away. go on feeding plan
35
pylorus
valve between end of stomach and start of small intestine
36
intrasusception
Telescoping of intestine. obstruction, Causes edema and stopping of blood flow. Could cause necrosis
s/s- loud crying, abdominal pain, red "currant jelly" stools, vomiting
DX- us, barium enema
treated -air enema then use contrast dye if that doesn't work. if that doesn't work surgery is needed. this problem may be reoccurring if not fixed by surgery.
prevent peritonitis
37

no anal opening. surgical repair needed
38
GU assessment
potty trained? regression?

39
who are UTI mostly seen in
Seen in uncircumcised boys under 3 months
Seen in girls under 12 months and continued thru toddler hood
40
how many colonies/mL for UTI dx
50k
41
most important host factor in UTI
urinary stasis
bacteria can grow if bladder is retaining urine
42
urine collection methods for UTI
Urinary Cath most accurate for under age 2, clean catch for kids potty trained
Have girls sit backward on toilet to help with clean catch
For uncircumcised boys, clean the meatus and retract foreskin
43
urine collection bag
sticks to patients genitalia region
Less invasive, not completely sterile, can leak
44
predicative test of UTI
Leukocytes- WBC (infection)
nitrates- bacteria
45
uti education and meds
meds- penicillin, bactrim, cephalosporins
wipe front to back, no bubble baths, avoid tight clothes, complete emptying, avoid caffeine, void 15-20 mins after intercourse, fluid intake.
irritated urethra makes them more prone to infection
46
Vesicouretral reflux (VUR)
abnormal flow of urine from bladder to kidneys.
increases risk of UTIs
could be primary or secondary
treated w prophylaxis abx or surgery. goal is not to damage kidney
dx by UA, k&b, US, VCUB
could be grade 1 (mildest) to grade 5 (severe)
If left untreated can lead to bed wetting, constipation, loss of control, high BP, proteinuria, kidney failure
47
VCUB for VUR
X-rays and contrast dye of bladder when full to look for abnormalities. Use catheter to insert dye, bladder will get Xray in multiple positions, catheter will be removed, child will void and they will take x-rays to look at function of how bladder is being emptied
this will be graded into terms of reflex.
48
primary vs secondary VUR
Primary reflex- born w a defecting valve. Can be outgrown
Secondary- reflex urinary tract malfunction, like high pressure in bladder
49
Enuresis (bed wetting)
continued incontinence of urine past potty training
Dx at least 2x week for 3 months after age 5
Rule out other causes like diabetes, sickle cell, UTI, spina bififa, diuretic, emotional factor
Most common in boys and those who sleep deep
meds to help- antidiuretics, tricyclic antidepressants, antispasmodics, desmopressin nasal spray
do a bathroom schedule
50
primary vs secondary enuresis
Primary- never achieved complete control
Secondary- the child achieved control but lost it
51
Protrusion of abdominal contents through inguinal canal into scrotum
inguinal hernia
52
presence of peritoneal fluid in the scrotum
hydrocele
53
narrowing or stenosis of the preputial opening of the foreskin that prevents retraction of the foreskin over the glans penis
phimosis
54
Ventral curvature of penis, often associated with hypospadias
chordee
55
Failure of testes to descend
cryptorchidism
56
is an exposed or open dorsal urethra
epispadias
57
hypospadias
urethra meatus is located on the ventral side along the shaft
associated with chordee
Surgical repair. Don’t circumcise these children at birth bc they could use the skin later
Avoided until age 6-12 months
Make sure they can void while they are standing
58
exstrophy
bladder is external and inside out. this is due to failure of abdominal wall and structures to fuse in utero.
surgery usually at first 72 hours off life
Bladder doesn’t store urine, urine produced by kidneys will drain into a open area
Bladder needs to cover with film to prevent urine seepage and skin irritation. These children will need sponge baths and monitored output.
Goal Is to avoid UTI, regain renal function, gain urine control
may not ever be fully continent and may to to self cath
59
ambiguous genitalia
mutations in genes early on will lead to various disorders of sex development, making it hard to tell if person is boy/girl
congenital adrenal hyperplasia is most common cause.
surgery based on type/severity
*Psychosocial emergency for family
60
nephrotic syndrome
increases glomerular permeability to proteins (especially albumin)
protein loss causes decreased osmotic pressure, causing fluid escape=edema.
will see massive proteinuria, albuminuria. urine will be dark/frothy/ Pt may also have weight gain, fatigue
low albumin in blood, we need to replace this, use steroids to suppress immune system, FLUID RESTRICTION
common in ages 2-7

63
glomernephritis
Involves glomeruli- supply blood flow to nephrons, which filter urine. These become inflamed and impair the kidney to do the filtering
occurs after STREP
hematuria, proteinuria, decreased output, edema
do throat culture, blood and urine test
treatment is supportive. need hospitalization for bad BP and UO
RESTRICT sodium and fluids
high calorie, LOW protein
strict I&O
may need diuretics, antihyp
last 3 weeks. most common in ages 4-7

65
hemolytic uremic syndrome
child ingests e. coli
endothelial lining of glomerular arterioles become swollen and occluded w platelets, RBC bc damages when they move through, spleen takes them out causing anemia. Kidneys are blocked and cant do there jobs
starts w GI/resp symptoms. later bruising, pallor, hematuria, albumin in urine
can cause hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, acute renal failure.
treatment is supportive, anticipate dialysis
FLUID restriction
66
common ways children ingest e coli
petting zoos, unpasteurized milk, undercooked meat, contaminated water
67
acute kidney injury (AKI)
kidneys suddenly do not regulate volume/composition of urine.
usually associated with HUS and glomerulonephritis.

BUN/creatine increases, GFR decreases
often revirsable.
MONITOR NEURO STATIS, sodium drops, toxic symptoms build up. Increase seizure risk
68
AKI nursing considerations
rule our urinary retention first
strict i&o, monitor electrolytes
control BP, maintain fluid balance and calories
complications are hyperkalemia, htn, anemia, seizures
69
when do we give transfusion for hgb in AKI pts
hgb <6
70
chronic kidney disease
diseased kidneys no longer maintain normal structures of bodily fluids. progressive deterioration over months/years
anticipate growth issues
Pallor, fatigue, decreased appetite, headache, nausea, weight loss, facial edema, bruised skin, elevated BP
promote renal function, maintain f&e, treat complications
Dialysis or transplant needed
71
hemodialysis vs peritoneal
hemo removes blood thru semipermeable membrane circulated outside body
peritoneal removes toxins via the peritoneal membrane
72
most common issue w renal transplant
rejection. if living donor rejected than a cadaver is used
73
what do pts need to be on indefinitely after transplant
