Peds Flashcards
Prep for delivery
Towels, warmer, respiratory equipment
GxPy
Gestational age and prenatal care anticipate problems.
Delivery minute 0-1
Stimulate! Overcome primary apnea
-rubbing back with towel or tapping the feet anything tog et first deep breath
O2-spo2 60-65% normal
Help by suctioning mouth first then nose bc mouth breathers
-PPV if not respond
Intubation-stop secondary apnea which is apnea after first breathing episodes, intubation?
HR>100 is goal
If less than 100->PPV probably an oxygen problem
Minute 1-5 after birth
APGAR want 7-10
<7 do something
O2-SPO2 80-85% if need to improve use FIO2%
Do we need to continue PPV or intubation
HR>100
60-100 respiratory problem ->PPV
<60 and good chest movement cardiac initiate cpr with 3:1 and access umbilical vein to give epi
Minute 5-10 after birth
Second APGAR score
Want 7-10
O2 spO2 90-95%
Use fiO2
PPV
HR want >100
60-100 PPV
<60 CPR. Start code 3:1
APGAR
Appearance Pulse Grimace Activity RR
TTN and RDS
TTN-self limiting c-section most often of term near term, grunting (own CPAP, hyperextended lungs on chest x ray…..treat with PPV usually gone 34-48 hours
RDS-not self limiting, developmental, insufficient surfactant . Premature infant, delivered bc or perinatal distress, chest x ray hypoextended lungs with atelectasis, intubation! And maybe surfactant
Hypoglycemia
Worse outcomes for baby and development
Large for gestation age, small for gestational age, IUGR, diabetic mom
Abnormally size,
Pt may be a symptomatic or symptomatic (jittery, tremors, seizures, lethargy)
CX, look for cause of infection could be sepsis….but just fix don’t spend time figuring out
Asymptomatic-feed
Symptomatic-2ml/kg D50-if persistIV D5, 10,10
What do with baby in nursery
- measure weight, length, head circumference
- Cord-2 arteries, 1 vein clamp close to baby
3-shots (vit k (stop hemorrhagic dz and hep b) and drops(erythromycin for eye
4.look fontanella and look for hematoma, red reflex, look for cleft lip palate, feel bones for crepitus (esp clavicle to look for fracture), murmurs, PDA MAY NOT BE AUDIBLE 1ST DAY, lung sounds, assess cord-see bowel problem, genitalia (hypo, epispadias), imperforate anus (clues to VACTRL), skin for jaundice, ortoloni and barlow
Failure to pass meconium vs constipation
FTPM-nothing comes out in 48 hours.
- impoerforate anus
- meconium lieus
- hirschbrungs
Constipation-pooped but not not
- year 2 may also see hirscbrungs
- voluntary holding
- meds, diet, anatomy, neurologic problem
Hirshbrungs-can be at birth or a few years later
Imperforate anus
VACTERL
No hole on new born assessment
Get xray cross table
Mild-ends close to each other and fix now with surgery
Severe-pouch far from anal verge wait for baby to get bigger before surgery, need colostomy now
VACTERL
Vertebra Anus Cardiac Tracheoespohageal fistual Esophageal atresia Renal Limb
US sacrum
X ray anus
Echo
Catheter with x ray(down nostril), x ray wrist, voiding cystourethragram
Do alt his before taker to surgery for imperforate anus if simple fix
Meconium lieu’s
CF
Don’t turn out enough water in lumen meconium plug no stool can move forward
Failure to pass meconium
Had prenatal screen so expect or will have reason without prenatal screen-someone no prenatal care, refugee undocumented worker,
X ray transition point and may show gas filled plug
Water enema treat can be used to diagnose and dissolve plug (gastrograffin)
Sweat chloride test , will need to sup ADEK and give pancreatic enzymes and do pulmonary toilet to prevent respiratory infections
Harsh springs
Failure of migration
Inhibitory neurons that allow relax in Auerbach and Meissen plexus travel across landscape and inner age colon and fails to inner age distal colon
Muscle cant relax stool cant get through
Severity is how proximal
Present-failure to pass meconium in 48 hours, palpable colon, explosive diarrhea on DRE
OR
Chronic diarrhea with overflow incontinence-see as age notice when toilet train
DX x ray good colon is dilated bad colon looks normal. Contrast enema barium
-if diarrhea later present use snore tail mono entry see increased tone.
Best test is biopsy showing no plexus neural surgery are missing
Treat-surgical resection bad colon ..remove part looks normal but biopsy abnormal
Voluntary holding
Pain, embarrassment , cognitive impairment higher risk
Present when toilet training or when going to school
Voluntary may turn involuntary, may have concrete stool and diarrhea can get around. So see overflow incontinence as well here and encopresis
Dx-Clinical
Treat-bowel regimen and behavior tell ok to poop if impacted do disimpaction under anesthesia (not under anesthesia in adult)
Baby Emesis
Normal feeds-non projectile, formula colored and after eating….don’t worry about it
Bilious-projectile, green , distal obstruction to biliary tree(ligament of Treitz), X ray-double bubble+uterine course
—Malrotation-failure of rotation cause obstruction, in normal uterine course(normal pregnancy), no problems with poly hydrmnios, no downs, diagnose X ray, see double bubble, but also see normal gas patten beyond, confirm with upper GI series…is there an obstruction , that with NG tube-decompress
—duodenal atresia-recanulation failure, polyhydramnios, Down syndrome, biliary emesis, x ray shows double bubble, no gas beyond, treat with surgery
—annular pancreas-failure of apoptosis, polyhydramnios, biliary emesis, association with Down’s syndrome, x ray show double bubble, no gas Beyond, treatment is surgery
—intestinal atresia-vascular accidents in utero, mom usually on vasoconstrictor like cocaine, can or cant be polyhydramnios, no association with downs, see x ray with double bubble and multiple air fluid levels, treat with surgery, worried about short gut syndrome, confront mom.
Non-bilious-projectile, not green, higher obstruction
—day 0 TEF-with or without atresia and fistula, nonbiliary emesis, gurgling and bubbling , diagnose with NG tube that could on x ray, treat with Parenteral nutrition to prepare Abby for surgery to reconnect blind pouch
—pyloric stenosis-week 2-8 hypertrophy of pyloric lead to gastric outlet obstruction, male, olive mass, visible peristaltic wave, diagnose with US show donut sign, treat with surgery pyloromyotomy, need CMP-hypochloremia, hypokalemia metabolic acidosis increased CO2, —-correct electrolyte abnormalities before surgery
Jaundice
Bilirubin through the blood stream to the liver. It is conjugate din liver and excreted into the binary tree
-prehepatic, intrahepatic, posthepatic
RBC turns into unconjugated bilirubin
Rate limiting step-UDP gluconoltransferase
Unconjugated in bloom from RBC turnover from hemolysis or hemorrhage
Intrahepatic-mixed,-crigner-nagar, gilbert are uptake and look similar to prehepatic
Dublin Johnson and rotor problem with excretion and look like conjugated
Hepatitis-immune compromised kids and get viral become chronic carrier state, if damage to liver see enzymes rise
Conjugated or direct in kid-biliary atresisa, sepsis, metabolic derangement.
Direct bilirubin conjugated
Good one to have. Has a charge so its water soluble, cant cross cell membranes very well, when excreted in urine trapped and turns the urine dark
Doesn’t cross BBB
Unconjugated bilirubin
Fat soluble Not excreted in urine Does not turn the urine dark Can cross the blood brain barrier Can lead to kernicterus
Physiologic vs pathological jaundice
Physiologic
Onset-after 72 hours, leaves then turns yellow
Resolution <2 weeks
Bili_unconjugated
Rise: not more than 5 points per day
Takes a while to set on, sign its physiologic
Pathological First day Won’t resolve without intervention Usually conjugated bilirubin and rise fast Over 5 points a day.
Treat uncogwith blue light to turn to conj to prevent kernicterus (high Exchange transfusion (really high)
When baby comes in yellow
Look at bilirubin
Conjugated-pathologic jaundice, require work us, US, HIDA scan after phenobarbitals, look for cause of sepsis, metabolic,
Unconjugated-physiologic, where error is coming from, COOMBS test first, if positive, isoimmunization, if negative, look at hemoglobin, if hemoglobin low-hemorrhage cephalohematome, if hemoglobin up-some form of transfusion..twin twin share placenta, delayed clamping, maternal transfusion, if hemoglobin normal check reticulocyte count, if elevated then hemolysis and GCPD defiency, pyruvate kinase defiency, or hemoglobin SS disease, if hemoglobin normal and reticulocyte normal problem with reabsorption breast mild and breast feeding jaundice
Breast mild vs breast feeding jaundice
Both exaggerated physiologic jaundice but need to intervene
Breast feeding-quantity , decrease bowel function, increased reabsorbed, DAY 1-7, unconjugated, just feed baby more
Breast milk-quality issue, milk inhibit is conjugation, unconjugated bilirubin, after day 7, hydrolyzed formula,
Diaphragmatic hernia
Hole in diaphragm allows bowel into chest so get hypoplastic lung
Present-scaphoid abdomen and bowel in the chest
More on left and posteroir
Diagnosis-x ray
Treat surgical repair and give corticosteroids to help develop the lung
Gastroschesis/omphalocele/extrophy of bladder
Gastroschesis
- defect of bowel off to the right side and is angry
- Clinical diagnosis
- treat silo
Omphalocele
- midline and not that ugly/contained
- Clinical diagnosis
- treat with silo
Extrophy of bladder
- mildline but other clue like wet with urine, shiny and red, no bowel (sac of water).
- Clinical diagnosis
- surgical repair
Biliary atresia
Worsening jaundice 7-14 days
Hyperbolic
Diagnose US
HIDA 7 days after phenobarbital
Treat respect
