1
Q

CV Responses for Children

A

CO increases 3-4 times above resting level (due to HR)
Low SV compared to adults; therefore, higher HR
Boys: HR is lower and SV slightly higher

Q

BP

Rhythmic exercise will cause rise in systolic proportion to exercise intensity
African americans have higher BP due to stiffer arterial surfaces

LOC
Symptomatic hypotension/bradycardia/asystole
Persistent tachycardia w/o dec BP (POTS)
Inappropriate hypotension (HR gives out before BP)

25
Q

Ped Chest Pain and SOB

A

More likely in chronic/recurring issues

26
Q

Ped Chest Pain and SOB Acute Causes

A

Pericarditis
Trauma
Arrhythmias

27
Q

Ped Chest Pain and SOB Non-cardiac Causes

A

Pneumothorax
Pleurodynia
Acute esophagitis
Foreign body

28
Q

Ped Chest Pain and SOB Chronic Causes

A
MI
Coronary artery anomalies
Pericarditis
Esophagitis
Costochondritis
Asthma
Sickle cell
Vocal cord dysfunction
29
Q

Asthma

A

Spirometry changes on expiration
Most common serious chronic childhood disease
Don’t have to have a wheeze

30
Q

Exercise Induced Asthma Symptoms

A

Coughing
Wheezing
Tightness
Typically begin 5-20 min after exercise on dry/cold days

31
Q

EIA Management

A

Use Rx 10-20 min prior to exercise
Quick acting: beta agonists, albuterol, anticholinergics, atrovent
Long acting: anti-inflammatories, leukotriene modifiers corticosteroids

32
Q

Treatment with Short Acting Beta Agonist

A

2/3 must be positive to ddx reversible airway obstruction:

  1. FEV1 - 200 mL or 12% increase after abutter dose
  2. FVC - 10+% increase
  3. FEF 25-75% - 20% increase
33
Q

Vocal Cord Dysfunction

A

Spirometry changes on inspiration, normal expiration
Paradoxical closure or adduction of vocal cords during inspiration
Mimics EIA but symptoms don’t respond to asthma meds
Occur with high intensities, but not sport specific

34
Q

VCD Triggers

A
Bronchitis/pneumonia
Fumes/odors

35
Q

Abrupt onset/resolution
Feeling faint

36
Q

VCD Treatment

A

Education

Classify lung function

39

40
Q

Decreased with restrictive
Decrease or normal with obstructive
