Q

In newborn systemic head to toe exam, what is looked for on: mouth arms and hands

A
  1. Colour of mucous membrane; observe palate form and fusion
  2. Check suckling reflex by inserting CLEAN little finger gently inside baby’s mouth
  3. Are hands moving normally, shape normal ?
  4. Look for evidence of traction birth injury (eg Erb’s palsy) by checking neck , shoulders and clavicles.
  5. Count fingers and observe shape and any deformities
  6. Check palmar creases, multiple or single?

Q

In newborn systemic head to toe exam, what is looked for on: heart and peripheral pulses

A
  1. Check brachial, radial and femoral pulses for rate, rhythm and volume.
  2. A hyperdynamic pulse may suggest a patent ductus arteriosus
  3. A weak pulse may suggest a congenital cardiac anomaly, impairing cardiac output, (and in conjunction with other indications from the examination.)
  4. Check the cardiac position by palpation and feel for any thrill or heave
  5. Listen carefully to heart sounds and any added sounds and murmurs
  6. Suspected abnormalities require further examination and opinion

  2. Look for evidence of intercostal recession

Q

In newborn systemic head to toe exam, what is looked for on: abdomen?

  6. Inspect anus and establish whether or not meconium has been passed

Q

In newborn systemic head to toe exam, what is looked for on: back and hips

A
  1. Inspect skin over back, and at spinal curvature, note symmetry
  2. Observe any evidence of spina bifida occulta or sinus hidden by flesh creases or dimples, and any hair tufts
  3. Palpate spine from neck to coccyx
  4. Specifically check for congenital dislocation of the hip (congenital hip dysplasia) using a combination of Barlow and Ortolani manoeuvres
18
Q

In newborn systemic head to toe exam, what is looked for on: legs and CNS

A
  1. Observe movements at each joint
  2. Check for evidence of talipes equinovarus
  3. Count toes and check for shape and abnormal gaps
