Q

pediatric airway differences

How does it alter management

A
  1. large head and tongue:shoulder roll instead of head elevation (occiput)
  2. more cephalad larynx (C4 vs C6), cricoid narrowest part, long stiff epiglottis: -, straight blade (epiglottis), more inclined to use cricoid (anterior airway),
  3. nasal passage and airway smaller ( increases in resistance with edema and secretions):watch out for airway obstruction w anesthesia

Q

why is respiration less efficient

A
  1. ribs are cartilagenous & pliant ribs predisposing to chest wall collapse, ribs angled horizontally and do not lift up to expand chest
  2. diaphragm less fatigue resistant type 1 fibers

Q

How is fetal circulation unique

how does this change at birth

A
  1. PVR elevated due to collpased unoxygenated lungs
  2. SVR low 2/2 low resistance placenta
  3. R–>L shunt across PFO and across PDA 2/2 high R sided pressures

birth:

expansion of lungs and increase O2–>PVR decreases

loss of placenta–>increase SVR

PFO closes due to increase L sided pressures; PDA closes due to increase Pa02 and loss of placental prostaglandins

Q

How is neonatal CV system different from adult? 6

A
  1. fewer contractile proteins–>decreased compliance–>limiting SV and making CO more dependent on HR, less able to increase CO in repsonse to preload and afterload
  2. 2/2 ventricular noncompliance: less able to handle increase preload, less capable of increasing contractility in response to afterload, more ventricular interdependence
  3. less responsive to catecholamines
  4. SNS less developed predisposing to bradycardia
  5. autonomic reflexes blunted
  6. prediposed to PHTN

Q

Why are pediatric pts predisposed to hypothermia

how do they generate heat in response to cold stress, when less effective

A

increased surface area/body mass , low fat content, thin skin

(radiation main, convection, conduction, evaporation)

-inefficient mech of heat production-nonshivering thermogenesis:hypothermia stimulates release of NE that triggers brown fat to underoes breakdown of TG into glycerol and FA into heat, (increases oxygen consumption

volatiles limit process, and less stores premature

A

20-25 cm H20

reduce change of post extubation croup

  • pro; less need for repeated larngosopy to change tube, morerelibale delivery of airway pressures,less polution
    con: smaller internal diameter-increased resistance

what is abnormal, when is surgery considered, pulm dysfunction, and pHTN (rest and exercise)

A

measures severity of scoliosis

lines parallel to the upper border of most cranial tilted vertebrae and the lower border of the most caudal tilted vertebra, then erecting perpendiculars from these lines to cross each other, the angle between these perpendiculars being the ‘angle of curvature’

look for prior imaging: subluxation: anterior atlamtodental interval (AADI)>4-5mm in lateral view, neural canal; width, atalanto axial instability

PE:

If signs consistent with cord compression/spine instabilitydelay case and have repeat cervical imagine and neuro surgical eval of cervical spine (motor/sensory pain changes w flexion/extension

No signs likely don’t need imagine but avoid excessive extension flexion rotation

55
Q

WHy no awake IV or fiberoptic in epiglottits

A

placement of IV can trigger larngospasm

Any kind of upsetting manever (IV; separating family) can cause crying and potentially trigger resp distress and airway obstruction

56

when can u consider waiting for imaging

issues w PPV

A

foriegn body in lungs

asthma

anaphalaxis

croup/epiglottis

not concerned that aspirated object will swell, become firable or cause chemical irritation (chemical pneumonitis)

distal migration of object, worsening of hyperinflation/PTX

57
