Q

How does a child’s airway differ in the pharynx from an adults?

A

Children have comparively larger tonsils, tongues, and adenodids in relation to the size of their mouth

  • i.e Children’s tonsils take up more space in their mouth

Q

How do contractions affect a baby during labor?

A

Typically, a baby’s heart rate should increase slightly during a contraction and then return to its baseline between contractions.

Q

What are implications of late decelerations in the babies heart during labour?
- Are they concerning?

A

They are concerning.

Late decelerations suggest the baby is not getting enough O2 during contractions, likely due to:

  • compression of the umbilical cord
  • inefficient placenta not providing enough blood flow
  • Uterine contractions are too intense or frequent

Q

Generally, What do late decelerations in the babies heart indicate during labour?
- What are they?

A

Babies heart rate is slowing down after the peak of contraction.

  • They are a sign of fetal distress which may require intervention

Q

What do early decelerations in a babies heart indicate?
- Are they concerning?
- What can they indicate?

A

They’re usually benign, associated w/head compression during contractions

  • They’re normal
  • Early decelerations mirror contractions. Meaning HR decreases at the same time as the mothers contractions (and recover at the same time).

Q

What are variable decelerations?
- are they concerning?

A

Random drops in the babies HR (U or V appearance on a strip). They can be concerning depending if they persistent and their depth and duration are crazy long. They’re random events.

Q

How does O2 aid premature babies with surfactant deficiencies in the lungs?

A
  • O2 therapy increases O2 concentration in the bloodstream, which reduces the strain on the baby’s lungs and heart.
  • The lungs can function normally w/o risk of lung damage from the strain of laboured breathing (including RDS)

Q

Why is thin skin on a premature baby concerning?

A

Q

Why would you provide a premature baby caffeine?

A

Prevent apnea of prematurity, stimulation helps baby breath easier.

  • Caffeine also helps open airways and increase muscle tone in babies. Particularly important for babies with underdeveloped lungs and RDS

A

Pros:
- Good control of pressure (PEEP included)
- Ability to feel effective ventilation and volumes
- Can adjust pressures as needed to achieve chest movement
- Can provide CPAP

Cons:

59
Q

How do you know if ventilation is ineffective in newborns?

A

Heart rate

63
Q

What should you do during your first PPV assessment?

Check to see if the heart rate increases, decreases, or doesn’t change.
- First 15 seconds.

64
Q
A
  • Announce “HR is increasing”
  • Second HR assessment after another 15 seconds
65
