T/F: the most common significant airway problem in the pediatric patients is airway obstruction due to laryngomalacia

True

softening of the laryngeal tissues

upper airway tends to collapse during inspriation
*PPV
this typically resolves on its own as the kid grows up

6 variables that contribute to the rate of FA/FI rise (wash-in)

inspired concentration of gas (%)
alveolar ventilation
FRC
CO
Solubility of the gas
alveolar to venous partial pressure gradient of the anesthetic

washin is quicker in infants due to higher alveolar ventilation to frc watio (5:1) + greater distibution of CO to VRG

How well did you know this?

Perfectly

If an increased in CO in adults slows the rate of rise of FA/FI, why does an increase in cardiac output speed the rate of FA/FI in infants?

induction dose in infants compared to children

likely related to differences in blood distribution
-VRG comprises a greater proportion of body mass (18% compared to only 8% in adults) - so more blood from CO goes to VRG

infants 2.5-3mg/kg

kids 2-2.5mg/kg

Perfectly

Do neonates exhibit increased or decreased sensitivity to NDMRs?

why or why not

do you need more or less?

increased sensitivity to NDMRs

- the immature NMJ remains open longer, allowing more sodium into cell

however, you dont need more because neonates and infants have a larger relative ECF volume , increasing the colume of distribution for NMBs which are highly ionized and water soluable

In all muscular dystrophy there is a symmetric/assymetiric atrophy of skeletmal muscle, however, there is no denervation of skeletal tissue - what does this mean?

symmetric atrophy of skeletal muscle tissue -intanct innervation to the msucle tissue means sensation and reflexes will be intact

kids with myopathies often exhibit proximal or distal limb weakness

proximal ## Footnote +ptosis, facial weakness, resp muscle weakness, cardiomypathy (central to peripheral it seems)

most common inhertied muscular dystrophy ## Footnote problem with depolarizers or non?

myotonic dystrophy ## Footnote both but *sensitivity to sux* -think nerves are intact, but muscle tissue atrophies so the post synaptic receptors are going to proliferate

a milder form of muscular dystrophy -primary concern = cardiac conduction defects resulting in syncope ## Footnote preop echo and ekg

Is the incidence of OSA in kids greater in boys or girls?

equal incidence between both

gold standard for diagnosising OSA

polysomnography

what should you be thinking if you have a kid with OSA

to use alternative pain mangemenet stratgeis like NSAIDS, local, regional, ketamine, and alpha-2 agonists ## Footnote *opioids may compound issue

hernia repair | spinal or caudal

What % of severely obese pediatric patients will exhibit insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome?

how should the bed be psotioned during preoxygenation and airway mangement of the obese pediatric patient

hob raised at least 25 degrees so the tragus is above the level of the sternum

pedaitric drug dosing: drugs for TBW (5) IBW (2) LBW (2)

TBW: **AF SSS** Alfent, Fent, Sufent, sux, suga IBW: morphine and NDMRS LBW: prop and remi ## Footnote IBW for kids less than 8= 2x age + 9 IBW for kids older than 8 = 3 x age LBW = IBW + 1/3 (TBW- IBW) ridiculous- adult LBW is IBW x 1.3 - think im sticking with that one

until you've reached a threshold at which you will adminsiter blood products, the traditional protocol is to administer how much of a balanced salt solution IV for each 1ml of blood loss

3cc ## Footnote so 10cc blood loss =30 cc volume

MABL =

EBV x (hct - minimum Hct/hct)

third space loses for: minor surgery moderate surgery major surgery

minor = 1-2ml/kg/hr moderate = 2-5ml/kg/hr major = 6-10ml/kg/hr

maintenance fluid requirement for a ptient who weighs 5kg

5 x 4 = 20ml/hr ## Footnote 4-2-1 rule first 10 kg x 4mls/hr 10-20kg = 40 + 2ml/kg for every kg over 10 >20kg = 60ml + 1ml/kg for every kg > 20kg

maintenance fluid requirment for kid who weighs 15kg

10 x 4 = 40ml/hr + 5 x 2= 10ml/hr = **50ml/hr** ## Footnote 4-2-1 rule first 10 kg x 4mls/hr 10-20kg = 40 + 2ml/kg for every kg over 10 >20kg = 60ml + 1ml/kg for every kg > 20kg

adding 40mls to weight in kg works for kids weighing over what?

20kg

1yo

incidence of vomitting is most likely to occur in kids over what age?

>8yo

first step in treating layngospasm

removing the offending cause - suction airway ## Footnote then jaw thrust/postive pressure with 100% o2

difference between inspiratory stridor and expiratory stridor (causes)

inspiratory stridor results from upper airway obstruction expiratory stridor results in lower airway obstruction

airway obstruction and hypoventilation

t/f emergence delirium is more common with sevo in the pediatric population
