Treatment: symptom mgmt, prevent with vaccine
106
Croup-Laryngothracheobronchits

Growth and Development of GI system
STRUCTURALLY complete at birth, but immature
Sucking=reflex until 6wks

Intestinal motility is increased in newborns (increased stools)
Enzyme secretion increases (pancreatic start at 4 months)
Excretory control by age 2-3
109
Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC)
Most common and most serious acquired GI disorder among hospitalized pre-term neonates
Caused by: intestinal ischemia, bacterial or viral infection
Predisposing factor = immature intestine
110
NEC symptoms
Vomiting, blood diarrhea, abdominal distention, feeding intolerance, irritability OR lethargy
111
Diagnosis and Treatment of NEC
Diagnostic: Physical assessment, abdominal x-ray
Treatment: PROMPT, NPO, CVC/IV fluids and antibiotics, surgical resection
112
Long term complications of NEC
Malabsorption, short bowel, scarring/narrowing of bowel, scarring in the abdomen, problems with TPN
113
Complications with Prematurity
Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH)
Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP)
Feeding and nutrition problems
Anemia
Resp distress syndrome
114
5 Types of CVC
Short term (percutaneous)
Tunneled
PICC
Implanted
Hemodialysis
115
Why might we insert a CVC?
Limited peripheral venous access, resuscitation, hemodialysis, long term therapy, admin of IV fluid/PN/blood products/medications/chemotherapy.
116
Complications of CVC
Air embolism, occlusion (common), infection (common), malposition or external catheter damage, extravasation
117
Acute GI disorder-dehydration/vomiting
Causes: infection, structural anomalies, neurologic, endocrine, food poisoning
Viral (rotovirus, adenovirus, norwalk, cytomegalovirus)
Bacterial (salmonellla, e coli, shigella, c-diff)
118
Treatment of dehydration
NS bolus, and then switch to D5NS because of sodium and glucose
119
Cleft Lip & Palate
“split” or “separation” of lip or palate, develop in early pregnancy (lip in 5-6wk gest and palate in 7-9wk gest), happens in 1/700 babies
120
Management of cleft lip & palate
Cleft lip: Surgery after 2-3 months
Cleft palate: Surgery around 6-18 months
121
Complications of cleft lip
Cannot suck properly with deformed lip/palate, (there are special bottles for cleft lip/palate babies), susceptible to colds, hearing loss, speech defects, dental cavities, otitis media.
122
Hirschsprung (Congenital aganglionic megacolon)
Absence of autonomic parasympathetic ganglion cells of the colon that prevents peristalsis - obstruction. Presentation = constipation
Signs: gradual onset of vomiting, ABD distention, constipation, failure to pass meconium
123
Treatment of Hirschsprung
Staged surgical repair - remove dysfunctional part of bowel and re-attach (sometimes involve temporary ileostomy)
124
Tracheosophageal Fistula (TEF)
Represents an abnormal opening between the trachea and esophagus
- excess amniotic fluid
- excess saliva
- feeds get vomited right back up (EA with distal TEF = most common)
125
TEF diagnosis
Catheter into esophagus to check for resistance
Barium Swallow test to diagnoses problems
126
TEF treatment
surgery to close the fistula and anastomosing the esophageal segments
127
Imperforated Anus
Passage of fecal material is obstructed by a structural anomaly of the anus and rectum
128
Imperforated anus diagnosis
Inspection of the perineum (fistula)
Rectal atresia (absence of anal opening)
ABD distention, vomiting, failure to pass meconium
US and Lower GI studies confirm diagnosis
129
Imperforated anus treatment
oral feeds STOPPED
surgery to close fistula and create an anal opening
Surgical site - thoroughly monitored for infection
130
Intussesception
one portion of the bowel slides/invaginates into the next
Signs: Vomiting, “currant” jelly, gelatinous stools, pain
Treated with barium enema to move bowel back into correct space
131
Pyloric Stenosis
Hypertrophy of the circular pylorus muscle results in stenosis of the passage between the stomach and the duodenum, partially obstructing the lumen of the stomach
132
Pyloric Stenosis Symptoms
evident at 2-8 weeks
Easy to diagnose
PROJECTILE VOMITING, irritability, failure to gain weight, signs of dehydration, child hunger
133
Nissen Fundoplication
For kids that have severe acid reflux - last resort is to wrap stomach around itself to tighten it.
134
Diagnosis of diabetes in children
- plasma glucose level of 11.1mmol/l or higher
- fasting plasma glucose (FPG) > 7.0mmol/l
- oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) > 11mmol/l
- random PG > 11.1mmol/l
135
Type 1 Diabetes
Autoimmune destruction of insulin producing cells (beta-cells) resulting in complete insulin deficiency
136
Type 2 Diabetes incidence in children
minimum incidence of type 2 diabetes in children and adolescents < 18 years old of 1.54 per 100 000 children per year
137
Indigenous youth with diabetes
Experience higher long-term risks for end stage renal disease and death than non-first nation kids
138
Most important risk factor of type 2 diabetes
obesity (95% of children with T2DM were obese)
139
Risk factors for type 2 diabetes
family history
hypertension
asian, indigenous and african decent
lower PHC
140

kidney disease
retinopathy
neuropathy
dyslipidemia
hypertension
141
