(139 cards)
Caused by a deficiency of lung surfactant and delayed lung maturation, can occur as late as 37 wk
RDS
What is the most common cause of respiratory distress in premature infants
RDS
Who is at increased risk for RDS
infants of diabetic mothers
Result of delayed clearance of fluid from lungs following birth
transietn tachypnea of the newborn
Caused by a collection of gas in the pleural space with resultant collapse of lung tissue
pneumothorax
Who is at increased risk for pneumothorax
mechanical ventilation or underlying lung disease like RDS; premature infants with RDS
What babies are at risk for hypoglycemia
infats of diabetic mothers due to chronic hyperinsulinemic state
Tachypnea is a nonspecific finding in newborns; possible causes
meconium aspiration, hypoglycemia, hypothermia, VSD, PDA, Coartation of aorta, RSD, TTN, pneumothorax, sepsis, congenital diaphragmatic hernia
Risk factors neonatal sepsis
maternal GBS, prolonged rupture of membranes (>18 hrs), delivery <37 wks, maternal fever or chorioamnionitis
premature and tachypneic
RDS, pneumothorax, sepsis
maternal diabetes and tachypneic
TTN and RDS
kernicterus presentation
abnormalities in tone and reflexes, choreoathetosis, tremor, oculomotor paralysis, sensorineural hearing loss and cognitive impairment
Risk factors for bilirubin toxicity
hemolysis, asphyxia, significant lethargy, temp instability, sepsis, acidosis, albumin
Predisposing factors to hyperbilirubinemia
ABO mismatch, breastfeeding, in utero infection, gestational age, Mediterranean ethnicity, microcephaly, Rh incompatibility, small for gestation age, weight loss > 10%
physiologic jaundice
total bili <15 mg/dL in full term infants who are asymptomtic
causes of physiologic jaundice
increased production (breakdown RBC), hepatocyte protein and UDPGT deficiency, lack of intestinal flora to metabilze bile, high B glucuronidase in meconium, intake
Breast feeding jaundice occurs
first week of life when milk supply is low so low intake
breast milk jaundice
first 4-7 d but may not peak until 10-14 d; can persist up to 12 wks
Crigler Nijjar
AR; causes severe unconjugated hyperbili starting in first few days. Caused by decrease bili clearance caused by deficient or completely absent UDPGT and can lead to kernicterus
Gilbert
less severe common cause of unconjugated hyperbilidecrease enzyme function interferes with glucuronidation and conjugation of bili is slowed
presentation biliary atresia
healthy infant who develops jaundice, dark urine, and acholic (pale) stools btw 3-6 wks
treatment biliary atresia
kasai procedure- anastomosis of the intrahep ducts to a loop of intestine to allow bile to drain directly into the intestine
major risk factors hyperbili (TSB >95th percentile)
jaundice iin first 24 hours, blood group incompatibility, gestational age 35-36 wk, previous siblibling, cephalohematoma or significant bruising, exclusive breaskfed, east asia
CXR for TTN
wet looking lungs, no consolidation and no air bronchograms
