1. Peds Flashcards
premature
<36 weeks gestational age
term
> = 36 weeks gestational age
neonate
birth - 1 month
infant
1 month - 1 year
child
1-11 years
adolescent
12-16 years
peds absorption of acid-labile drugs (peniccilling)
increased
peds absorption of basic drugs
decreased
peds TBW
85%
greater than adults
peds volume of distribution
increased for water soluble drugs
peds loading doses
may need to be increased
peds duration of action in lipid soluble drugs
longer
peds metabolism is decreased for which drugs
benzos
amide local anesthetics
barbituates
peds moprhine clearnce
decr due to CYP450
peds elimination affects
abx dosing
fetal receptors have enhanced response to what NMB
depolarizing
(Sux)
fetal receptors have relative decr response to what NMB
roc
vec
peds diaphragm has more _____ fibers
Type 1 fibers
peds diaphragm will recover _____ from NMB
faster
neonates/infants need _____ plasma concentration of Non-depolarizing muscle relaxants
lower
(lower mx dose)
neonates/infants need _____ loading dose of non-depolarizing muscle relaxants
higher
peds ECF
greater than adults
peds CO
higher
higher CO means
faster onset
peds are at higher risk for
bradycardia
which vasopressor should we be careful with for peds
phenylephrine
Cr clearance in peds is estimated using
Schwartz equation
CrCl =
CrCl = 0.413xL / Scr
to estimate CrCl we need to know
length or heigh
serum Cr
peds are dosed
allometrically
highest danger in overdose toxicity pt population
< 1 yr old
NMB onset
faster
fastest NMB onset
sux
peds are more susceptible to what type of NMB
depolarizing agent
sux SE
transient incr HR
bradycardia
severe hyperkalemia
rhabdo
muscle spasm
