Q

Define Developmental Coordination Disorder?

A

DCD = common neurodevelopmental disorder

  • Difficulties with learning gross or fine motor skills
  • Low scores on standardized motor testing and a history of motor problems from the early developmental period
  • Leading to functional impairment in academic achievement or ADLs
  • RULE OUT = motor difficulties cannot be result of a medical condition like CP or visual impairment

Q

What is the DSM5 criteria for Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) and how do you test for it?

A

DSM5 Criteria and how to test:

  1. Acquisition and execution of coordinated motor skills substantially below expectation for child’s age and opportunities of motor skill learning (ie. clumsy, slow, inaccurate motor skills ex. with catching ball, using scissors, handwriting, bike riding, sports)
    1. OT or PT assessment of standard motor assessment (MABC-2 = Movement Assessment Battery for Children-2)
  2. Motor skills deficit significant and constantly interferes with ADLs for age and impacts school/leisure and play
    1. Hx and parent questionnaires like DCDQ (5-15yo) or Little DCDQ (3-4yo) to determine functional impact.
    2. scores are ‘indicative of DCD’, ‘suspect’ or ‘probably not’
  3. Onset of Sx in early developmental period
    1. developmental history focusing on difficulties in LEARNING motor skills, b/c usually meet motor milestones
  4. Motor skills deficit not better explained by ID, visual impairment, neuro conditions like CP, DMD, etc)
    1. ensure vision assessed
    2. neuro exam
    3. standardized IQ testing might be needed

Q

What are ‘soft’ neurological signs for DCD?

What are other clinical features to look for on exam?

A

Soft signs:

  • non-specific markers of performance difference in age approp motor task (usually fade by age 6 but may persist in DCD)
  • overflow movements (hands posturing when heel/toe walking)
  • mirror movements (one hand copying other when imitating finger pattern)
  • finger agnosia (visual monitoring to copy finger pattern when proprioceptive feedback not enough)
  • coordination struggles (ie. trouble with finger-nose or rapid alt mvmt but normal Romberg)
  • low-normal tone
  • should NOT have ‘hard’ signs = hypertonia, true hypotonia, abnormal DTR, ataxia, spasticity, asymmetry)

Q

What are the recommendations prior to providing procedural sedation?

A
  • Recommendations:
    • Only do sedation if there is HCP present for airway and resus, extra HCP to do just sedation (and not also procedure), continuous monitoring, immediate emerg equipment, place to monitor post, including admission if needed
    • Need to check ASA class 1 or 2, fasting status, informed consent, and refer to anesthesia if more complex
    • Clinicians need approp skills and credentials, know indications/contrind and risk of meds, can manage pt at any depth of sedation and competent in resus and stabilization
    • Develop institutional policies/procedures at hospital (with documentation, checklist and review process)

Q

What is the causative triad for early childhood caries (ECC)? What are complications of ECC? What is the definition of severe ECC?

A

Triad of childhood caries:

  • Cariogenic bacteria (usually Strep mutans)
  • Fermentable carbs
  • Host susceptibility (enamel integrity)

Complications: tooth loss, malocclusion, more caries into adolescence, low oral health

Severe-ECC = aggressive form of ECC classified by location, # of teeth and age; usually needs surgery under GA

Q

What are factors that make Indigenous children higher risk for caries?

A
  • Acquire S. mutans early (ie. less than 12 months vs usually acquire at 19-31 months)
  • Earlier teeth eruption (new teeth more prone to caries)
  • Teeth microbiome more likely to have S. mutans (due to poverty, overcrowding, family size, nutrition and other health behaviours)
  • Parents with caries
  • Prolonged bottle feed (if BF, then would be protective unless BF >12 months)
  • Sugary drinks/snacks
  • Tobacco smoke
  • GDM, obesity

Q

What are prevention strategies for early childhood caries?

A
  • Prenatal ECC prevention: maternal dental care, oral hygiene education, prenatal nutrition, fluoride toothpaste
  • Fluoride: fluoride toothpaste BID (<3yo brushed by adult w/ grain sized toothpaste; 3-6yo w/ pea-sized amount)
    • Community water fluoridation only received by 2% of FN
    • Topical fluoride w/ first tooth eruption helps prevent (doesn’t work once already cavity)
  • Oral health education: more benefit if oral health education at first tooth eruption
  • Community based strategies: promotion of traditional foods first and BF can be helpful

Q

What are possible therapies for treatment of early childhood caries (ECC)?

A
  • Therapies:
    • Sealants – for pits and fissures, apply on primary molars at eruption (74% remain caries free), fluoride varnish q3-6m
    • Minimally invasive restoration (glass ionomer etc) prevent caries progression (can be done by hygienists etc)
    • Silver diamine fluoride – stops caries progression (turns it black/hard) biannually if high risk for progression
    • GA repair – prevention etc way more cost effective, and less risk of GA/pain etc

Q

What are recommendations regarding glucocorticoid tapers?

A

Glucocorticoid tapers:

  • Don’t prevent adrenal suppression so no need for long tapers (outside of course of treatment)
  • < 1 month use = no taper
  • 1 - 3 month use = 1 - 2 week taper
  • 3 - 6 month use = 2 - 3 week taper
  • 6+ month use = 3 - 4 week taper
  • Watch for steroid withdrawal symptoms (can mimic adrenal suppression)
    • If suspected, check AM cortisol level (to make sure not adrenal suppression) and if normal, taper more slowly

Q

How do you confirm/screen for adrenal suppression (AS) post glucocorticoid use?

A
  • In asymptomatic individuals:
    • Screen with AM cortisol level (7-9am) before tapering below physiologic dosing (8mg/m2/day)
      • Must be off steroids for 24-48hr before test, and must have normal sleep-wake cycles
        • If cortisol <100 nmol/L = diagnostic for AS
        • If 100 - 275 nmol/L = possible AS
          • Should do ACTH stim test for these patients or empiric GC treatment (ie stress dosing or daily physiologic dosing)
        • > 275 = normal
  • If symptomatic, treat and consult endo

85
Q

If parents wish to participate in informal unpasteurized human donor milk sharing, what should you advise them?

A
  • ensure that donors have tested negative for hepatitis B and C, HIV, HTLV, and syphilis, and are not at risk for ongoing exposure.
  • They must also make sure that prospective donors are not using illegal drugs, cannabis, tobacco products, or alcohol [45].
  • Donors should be in good health. They should not be taking any medications or supplements routinely, including herbs.
  • Donors should temporarily discontinue milk donation while experiencing an inter-current illness.

Parents must be thoroughly informed about safe handling and storage practices for human milk. The flash heating technique [45], which has been shown to deactivate HIV [60], could be one harm reduction strategy if parents source UDHM. However, parents should be made aware that human milk treated in this way may not be as nutritionally complete

Q

A baby is born at 26 WGA, BW 900g. At 20 mins of life, requiring CPAP 6, FiO2 28%. Which is true about surfactant therapy?

A Surfactant increases the incidence of air leak in RDS
B. Exogenous surfactant inhibits endogenous surfactant production, so CPAP is trialled first.
C. Administration of surfactant improves arterial oxygenation
D. Surfactant administration reduces the incidence of BPD.

A

Answer: C - Surfactant is beneficial in the SHORT term.

Surfactant:

  • improves oxygenation
  • decreases mortality
  • decreases risk of PTX (but ensure volume-controlled ventilation so no PTX following administration)
  • decreases duration of ventilatory support
  • decreases length of NICU stay

Surfactant does NOT affect rates of BPD, NEC, IVH, or ROP.

124
Q

Based on the updated CPS statement on surfactant administration for RDS, what is the main indication for giving exogenous surfactant?

A

Exogenous surfactant (animal-derived > synthetic) is given to kids with RDS who are demonstrating increasing severity of RDS, objectively based on FiO2 > 50%.

Surfactant can be repeated if ongoing moderate-severe RDS, ie FiO2 >40%. Doses usually repeated as early as 2h, usually in 4-6h. Max 3 doses.

125
Q

What are 5 ways that we can prevent or treat RDS?

A

Prevention:

  • Antenatal steroids to mom if <35 WGA and at risk of delivery within 7 days
  • Transfer moms <32 WGA to a level 3 NICU, so ideally babies are born there. Transfer baby if outborn <32 WGA

Treatment

  • NIPPV (CPAP or BiPAP) should be given from birth
  • Volume-targeted ventilation
  • Early surfactant if FiO2 >50%. Repeat if FiO2 >40% in as early as 2h, generally after 4-6h. Max 3 doses
  • Early extubation to CPAP following surfactant administration
  • Give intubated infants with RDS surfactant prior to inter-facility transfer
