219 Flashcards
excess pulmonary vascular resistance and subsequent
right ventricular enlargement and failure,
results in________
Eisenmenger Syndrome
This is usually seen in the context of a large VSD,
in which the left-to-right shunt has flooded the pulmonary circulation.
a relatively common complication after neonatal repair of congenital cardiac disease, in which chyle leaks into the chest cavity, is ___________
thoracic duct injury
recent history of eating a fast
food hamburger. The child has bloody diarrhea. Laboratory evaluation reveals anemia,
thrombocytopenia, elevated BUN, and creatinine
Dx
hemolytic uremic syndrome
T/F Patients with hemolytic uremic syndrome should be given Insulin and glucose
T.
Yes, To drive potassium into the cells, decreasing serum levels.
T/F Patients with hemolytic uremic syndrome should be given Aggressive fluid management (i.e., 2-3 times maintenance fluids)
F.
Fluids should be given very cautiously due to the inability of the kidneys to remove excess fluid, leading to pulmonary edema
the most common form of childhood malignancy is :
Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL)
Children of what ages are at much higher risk, and which have a better prognostic when it comes to ALL?
Children less than 2 years of age or greater than 10 years of age are at much higher risk
normal WBC for Canada are :
And Good prognostic range for ALL is :
(4.5–11.0 x 10^9/L)
WBC < 30 x 10^9/L
Which of the following are good prognostic factors for ALL
T-cell phenotype,
absence of Ph chromosome
Presence of Ph chromosome
T-cell phenotype,
absence of Ph chromosome
T/F Treatment of amblyopia includes occlusion of the “bad” eye
F. Treatment of amblyopia may include occlusion of the “good eye”, forcing the child to use the “bad” or lazy eye.
the most common cause of amblyopia is :
Other risk factors are:
Strabismus.
myopia, muscle
weakness, cataract.
Infant Patients with cerebral palsy are at risk for what ophthalmologic condition?
strabismus.
The hyperoxia test is used as an early tool to evaluate the cyanotic neonate to determine if:
the etiology of the cyanosis is cardiac or non-cardiac in origin.
. A PaO2 of less than ___with the administration of 100% oxygen suggests a cardiac lesion
whereas a PaO2 between __ and __ on 100% oxygen suggests that there is no restriction of pulmonary blood flow in the presence of complete mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.
