Q

Describe the Piaget’s sensorimotor stage

A

34
Q

Describe the 5 different classifications of tonsil size

A
    • Keep in mind child tonsils are larger than adult tonsils**
  • 0= Surgically removed tonsils
  • 1= Tonsils hiden within tonsil pillars
  • 2= Tonsils extending to the pillars
  • 3= tonsils are beyond the pillars
  • 4=Tonsils extend to midline
35
Q

Caution should be used with sedation with kids that fall under the classification of _ tonsils

A

3 and greater

36
Q

Sedation contraindications

A
  • Patient able to be managed with basic behavior management
  • ASA III and greater (and some ASA II)
  • Extensive treatment plan (should do general anesthesia)
  • Recent illness
37
Q

Sedation complications

A
  • Compromised airway (hypoventilation, hypoxemia, apnea, hypotension and cardiopulmonary arrest)
  • Seizure
  • Allergy
  • Failure to sedate (kids start crying/ become hyperactive)
38
Q

Instruction to parents for sedation

A
  • Notify of changes in child’s health (recent illness ie.)
  • Restricted food and liquids prior to sedation
  • Loose fitting clothes
  • Don’t bring other kids to appointment
  • Have two adults some one can monitor child’s breathing
39
Q

Why are food and liquids restricted prior to sedation

A
  • Reduce risk of aspiration if nauseous

- Better absorption of sedative meds on empty stomach

Q

What should be given for post op pain
