25
``` Alvarado score (8 items) ```
- migratory R iliac fossa pain pain - N+V - anorexia - tenderness in R iliac fossa - rebound tenderness - elevated temp - leukocytosis - left shift
26
Pyloric stenosis | lab findings
- metabolic alkalosis, hypochloremic | - paradoxical urine aciduria (mediated by aldosterone)
27
Intussusception non-op management and contraindications
non-op: - hydrostatic reduction, pneumatic reduction contraindications: peritoninitis, persistent hypotension, free air/pneumoperitoneum
28
Meckel's diverticulum - rule of 2s
``` 2% of population 2:1: male to female 2-6% symptomatic, complicated most symptoms by age 2 yrs within 2 feet of ileocecal valve 2 inches long ```
29
Meckel's bleed
- painless, episodic, massive LGIB | - diagnose with 99Tc (Meckel's) scan
30
Management CDH | antenatal diagnosis
- intubation on first breath - NG tube to decompress stomach - may need: mechanical ventilation, HFV, intropes, iNO, ECLS - rule out other anomalies: cardiac echo, chromosomal anomalies attempt repair if stable over initial 24-48hrs, or after ECLS decannulation
31
Most frequent associated major anomaly with EA-TEF
- cardiac | and needs work up for VACTERL
32
Bilious emesis in neonate DDX
- Hirschprung disease - malrotation + midgut volvulus - intestinal atresia - ileus

- Tetralogy of Fallot!
34
Gastroschisis vs. omphalocele
Gastroschisis: defect R of umbilicus, usually small, angry bowel, 10% associated with atresia and volvulus, prolonged ileus/GI dysfunction Omphalocele: defect through umbilicus, can be giant, peritoneal sac, 50% associated with other anomalies esp cardiac, prompt recover of bowel function
35
Inguinal hernias | - surgiccal indications and timing
- all hernias should be repaired soon after diagnosis (median 2 weeks) (2x risk of incarceration if wait longer than 30 days) - bilateral exploration if infant was prem
36
Cryptorchidism | - treatment
Main indication for tx = fertility | - surgical referral by 6-9 months of age
