Q

epiglottitis versus laryngotracheobronchitis (croup) treatment

A

epiglottitis: urgent aw management (tracheal intubation, tracheostomy), abx if bacterial, induction with spontaneous RR (CPAP 10-15cmH2O to prevent aw collapse), ENT surgeon must be present, postop ICU care

croup: O2, racemic epi, corticosteroids, humidification, fluids, intubation rarely required

Q

preferred tx for post intubation laryngeal edema (post intubation croup) and other tx’s

A

racemic epi preferred

cool and humidified O2, dexamethasone .25-.5mg/kg IV, heliox (mixture of O2 and helium) reduces raynauds number

NO abx, its not infectious

Q

choice of anesthesia for a patient who has a possible foreign body onstruction

A

inhalation induction with spontaneous RR
also TIVA may be best or addition of propofol because there will be a leak around the rigid bronchoscope

first: atrioventricular septal defect
second: VSD

31
Q

A

vertebral defects
imperforated Anus
cardiac anomalies
tracheoesophageal fistula
esophageal atresia
renal dysplasia
limb abnormalities

32

aka DiGeorge

34
Q

tx for DiGeorge

A

thymus transplant or mature T cell infusion

35
Q

type of blood to transfuse to DiGeorge patient

A

transfusion of leukocyte depleted irradiated blood

36
Q

most common coagulation DO in patients undergoing adenotonsillectomy

A

vWF (administer DDAVP and decrease hourly rate to 1/2 or 1/3 of normal r/t HoNatremia then monitor postop sodiums)

37
Q

anesthetic management of patient with OSA under going adenotonsillectomy

A

emergence is slower, tx like any other OSA patient (less opioids)
dont give codeine for postop pain
monitor post procedure for 23h

38
Q

how to oxygenate child actively bleeding from adenotonsillectomy

A

pre oxygenate in left lateral and head down position
RSI and OGT hoe, blood in tummy. i repeat, blood in tummy.

40
Q

how to combat the following for kids during surgery:
conduction

A

conduction: place a foam pad on OR table
evaporation: humidify anesthetic gases
