26
Consider collecting a hemoglobin on
neonates, premature infants, cardiopulmonary disease, known hematologic dysfunction, and anticipated blood loss during the surgical procedure
27
What are irritable airways at an increased risk for?
laryngospams, bronchospasms, post-intubation croup, ateletasis, pneumonia, and desaturations
28
What should be considered in an child with an URI
LMA over an ETT
29
What are reasons to postpone surgery?
elective, febrile, elevated WBC, productive and purulent sputum, getting worse, acutely ill, malaise, tachypnea, wheezing
30
What are the increased risk of an URI with GA?
need for ETT asthma reactive airway tracheal mucocillary flow and pulmonary bactercidal activity is decreased by general anesthesia PPV may help spread the infection from upper to lower airways
31
How do you manage anesthesia with a URI
adequate hydration, oxygenation reduce secretions, limit airway manipulation bronchodilators (beta 2 for wheezing) anticholinergics (prevents bronchospasm) muscle relaxants for laryngospasm
32
When does a cardiologist need to evaluate a murmur prior to induction of anesthesia?
difficult feeding, SOB, poor exercise tolerance, can't match peers, family history of CHD, cyanotic episodes, abnormal peripheral pulses, unequal blood pressures in upper and lower extremities
