A General Approach to Ill and Injured Children Flashcards
Manifestations of CNS hypoxia
Irritability, confusion, delirium seizures and unresponsiveness
Manifestations of CV compromise
Tachycardia, diaphoresis, bradycardia and hypotension
In sick children, more than half have this system affected, 25% have this alternative system affected
Respiratory system followed by CV system
Tachycardia and tachypnea in a child who is 1 month to 1 year old
HR > 180, RR > 34
In a child who is 1 month to 1 year old what is systolic hypotension and what is the 50th percentile for SBP
Less than 75, 85-95
Tachycardia and and tachypnea in a child > 1 year to 5 years is defined as
HR > 140, RR > 22
In a child who is > 1 year to 5 years old what is systolic hypotension and what is the 50th percentile for SBP
Less than 74, 88-95
Tachycardia and and tachypnea in a child 5-12 years is defined as
HR >130, RR >14
In a child who is 5 years to 12 years old what is systolic hypotension and what is the 50th percentile for SBP
Less than 83, 96-106
Tachycardia and and tachypnea in a child 12-18 years is defined as
HR >120, RR >14
In a patient who is 12 years to 18 years old what is systolic hypotension and what is the 50th percentile for SBP
Less than 90, 108-118
How the children respond to increasing respiratory distress?
reduce the tidal volume and increase the respiratory rate
true or false; small infants depend more on diaphragmatic motion during respiratory distress
true
How does Grunting arise in infants and young children?
During expiration and the glottis closes. Grunting occurs whenever escapes through and actively closed glottis in attempts to maintain functional residual capacity.
HoW his respiratory Center disease manifest in children?
Irregular respiratory pattern with pauses or apnea.
