Q

Basic requirements for survival

A
  • Physiological: breathing, feeding, growing
  • Sensorimotor: rooting, sucking, grasping, clearing the airway in prone, horizontal and vertical tracking
  • Affective/Communications: crying, self-consoling, eye contact, facial animation, eye aversion
  • Complex: auditory preferences, taste preferences, visual preferences, imitative capacities
  • Primary “work”: feeding (sucking + swallowing + breathing requires skill as well as energy

Q

Failure in Feeding in Pre-Term or Sick Full-Term Babies

A
  • Learned oral aversion resulting from NICU care
  • Lack of flex/ext balance and chin tuck to assist with sucking, swallowing, breathing
  • Residual lung disease may cause tachynea; interferes with sucking and swallowing

  • Apnea
  • Bradycardia
  • Unable to coordinate sucking, swallowing, breathing, and becomes physiologically unstable

Q

PM: Respiratory Distress Syndrome

A
  • Pulmonary immaturity, inadequate pulmonary surfactant

- Surfactant lowers the surface tension and allows the alveoli to maintain its shape

Q

PM: Patent Ductus Arteriosus

A
  • Structure bypasses circulation to lungs pre-birth
  • Normal fetal circulation: Hole in R ventricle and L pulmonary artery allows blood to circulate in utero
  • Closes within 10-15 hours after delivery
  • If does not close, prevents oxygenation of blood, results in hypotension, poor perfusion, CHF

Q

PM: Hyperbilirubinemia

A
  • Accumulation of bilirubin (liver enzyme) in the blood
  • Caused by immature hepatic function
  • Bilirubin can accumulate in the brain and cause neuronal damage - must be addresed right away

Q

PM: Gastroesophageal Reflux (GER)

A
  • Some degree is normal, asymptomatic
  • Frequent episodes can damage esophageal lining - inflammation, dysmotility, pain
  • Leads to poor oral feeding patterns, oral aversion and excessive crying due to pain

Q

PM: Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC)

A
  • Acute inflammation of the immature intestine causes acute intestinal necrosis
  • Cause: Injury to intestinal mucosal lining
  • Doubled in those exposed to cocaine (vasoconstrictive effects in intestine)
17
Q

PM: Germinal Matrix-Intraventricular Hemorrhage (GM-IVH)

A
  • Occurs in those less than 32 weeks gestation
  • Most common brain lesion in premature infants
  • Hemorrhage in brain extends to the area between lateral ventricles
18
Q

PM: Periventricular Leukomalacia (PVL)

A
  • Areas of white matter adjacent to the lateral ventricles become necrotic
19
Q

PM: Retinopathy of Prematurity

A
  • Retinopathy: Vasoproliferative disease of immature retina
  • Cause: Alteration in normal development of blood vessels in eye
  • Higher risk in those born less than 30 weeks gestation
20
Q

PM: Prenatal Cocaine Exposure

A
  • Defects: Dependency, malnutrition, retarded intrauterine growth
  • Infant may go through withdrawal
  • Can cause placental vasoconstriction and decreased uterine blood flow
21
Q

PM: Chorioamnionitis

A
  • Cervicovaginal bacteria invades amniotic cavity, causing inflammatory response in membranes of the developing fetus
  • Most common cause of preterm labor
  • Infant more susceptible to brain damage and intestinal abnormalities
22
Q

PM: Osteopenia

A
  • Decrease in bone density
  • Occurs because of immature bone development
  • 80% of bone formed between 24 and 40 weeks; 3rd semester essential for bone formation
23
Q

PM: Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD)

A
  • Most common chronic lung disease associated with prematurity
  • Causes: Effects of O2 toxicity, barotrauma, volutrauma from mechanical ventilation on immature infant lungs
  • Alternatives: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), inhaled nitric oxide (iNO), high frequency ventilation (HFV)
24
Q

Meconium Aspiration Syndrome

A
  • During delivery, fetus may pass BM into amniotic fluid; as infant gasps for first breath, may aspirate meconium-tainted fluid
  • Meconium particles obstruct airway, interfere with gas exchange; leads to respiratory distress
25
Q

Toxoplasmosis

A
  • Hydocephalus
  • Seizures
  • Intracranial calcifications
  • Ophthalamic disease
  • Located in cat feces, undercooked meat
26
Q

  • Treatment: Gentle PROM 7-10 days (decrease hemorrhage and edema, splinting, activities to promote movement, motor learning, strengthening, developmental appropriate skills, early surgical intervention if indicated
33
Q

Torticollis

A
  • Neck muscles contract voluntarily on one side causing the neck and head to rotate on one side

A
  • “Curved, hooked joint”
  • Multiple congenital joint contractures
  • Occurs in 2 or more joints in different body areas
  • Caused by loss of movement in utero
