Additional information Flashcards
normal SBP in pediatrics
90 + 2(age)
hypotension in pediatrics
70 +2(age)
blood loss before a kid becomes hypotesnsive
up to 30% of blood volume b efore low bp
estimate circulatory blood volume in pediatrics
80ml/kg
blood replacement for pediatrics
10ml/kg
IVF replacement in pediatrics
20ml/kg
of IVF versus blood for pediatrivs
blood = 10ml/kg
pediatrics =20ml/kg
calculate maintence fluids for kids
1-10kg = 4ml/kg/hr
10-20kg = 2ml/kg/hr
over 20kg = 1ml/kg/hr
**shortcut = if over 20kg, do 40 + wt in kg
Dextrose given to pediatrics if hypoglycemic
all get 2ml/kg
neonate = D10
infant/toddler = D25
child= D50
cric for pediatrics
needle cric if under 8yo
NG diameter for pediatrics
ETT x2
depth of ETT for pediatrics
ETT x3
chest tube for pediatrics
ETT x4
pediatric adenosine dose
0.1mg/kg
cardioversion dose for pediatrics
0.5 - 2 j/kg
defibrillator dose for pediatrics
2,3,4,8j/kg
CXR of epiglottis
thumb sign
thumb sign on CXR
epiglottis
s/s of epiglottis
4 D’s = drooling, dysphagia, dysphonia, distres
rapid onset fever, stridor
respiratory sounds of epiglottis
stridor
difference between epiglottis & croup
croup = barking epiglottis = stridor
interventions for epiglottis
life threatening
clam b/c possible rapid airway loss
abx, humidified oxygen
lung sounds of bronchio.litis
90% are from RSV
wheeze/crackles
Waddle’s Triad
specifi pattern of injury when ichild is hit by car
- fracture of femoral shaft (initial impact by bumper)
- intra-abd/thoracic when body hits car hood
- contralateral head injuury when thrown and hit groud/other object
specific pattern of injuries for pediatrics when they are hit by a car
Waddle’s Triad
breathing if DKA
Kussmau;s to blow off CO2 in anttempt to orect acidosis
fruity breath
DKA
from ketones
how quickly can you lower glucose in DKA
no more than 100 per hr b/c cerebral edema
fluids in DKA
average pt is 3-6L deficit
when do you swap fluids if HHS
swap to D5 once 250-300mg/dl
rx tat can cause diabetes insipitus
phenytoin (Dilantin) overdose b/c suppresses ADH release
overdose that can cause diabetes insipitus
phenytoin (Dilantin) overdose
treatment of DI
first line is IVF b/c often 9L fluid deficit then DDAVP (synthetic vasopression w/o cardiac response)
abnormalities r/t ADH
DI
SIADH = too much
using DDAVP
for diabetes insipitus = synthetic vasopression w/o the cardiac resonse
rx that can cause SIADH -3
tricyclic antidepressants
narcotics
oral hyopglycemics
level of Na when you go into a coma
below 120
correction of low Na
hypertonic saline
no more than 0.5mEq/hr
what happens if you correct low Na too quickly
central pontine myelinolysis
*irreversible brain damage w/cerebal palsy, quadraplegia, death
eye bulging
hyperthyroidism
consider if heat intolerance
hyperthyroidism
treatment of hyperthyroidism
IVF
BB
steroids
rx to avoid if hyperthyroidism
asprin b/c it will prevent the binding of thyroglobulin, making the situation worse
Grave’s Diseae
hypERthyroidism
*risk thyroid storm/thyrotoxicosis
takes synthroid
hyPOthyroidsm
rx for hypOthryoidism
synthroid
bright red diarrhea
hematochezia
Octreotide
for esophagelal varices
- synthetic form of somatostatin
- reduces spleen & liver blood flow which reduces variceal pressures
rx given for esophageal varices
Octreotide
esophgeal bleeding
varices
location that differentiates lower from upper GI bleed
ligament of Treitiz
DO NOT DO if esophageal varices
no NG tube b/c can cause a lethal rupture of varices
consideration if esophageal varices but you need to intubate
NO NG tube b/c that can cause a lethal rupture of the varices
intervention for esophageal varices
Sengstaken Blakemore tube
*tamponade
non-lifethreatening rupture of the esophagus
Mallory-Weiss
causes of Mallory-Weiss tears
non=life threatening rupture of the esophagus
*chronic forceful vomiting like alcoholism/bulemia
Boerhaave’s Tears
complete transmural rupture of hte lower thoracic esophagus
s/s of Boerhaave’s Tears -4
complete rupture of lower esophagus
*shock, CP, Hamman’s sign, SC emphysema
gold standard for Boerhaave’s Tears
EGD
BUN to creatinine ratio in GI bleed
gover 30:1
problem of increased ammonia
liver breaks down ammonia
increased ammonia leads to increased ICP
treatment for increased ammonia
lactulose
IRN in liver disease
INR over 1.5 b/c decreased albumin & coagulation factor
normal ALT
under 55
normal AST
under 48
sign of increased serum ammonia
ICP, LOC changes
neuro complication of liver disease
hepatic encephalopathy
flapping muscle tremor
asterixis = indicates liver issues
what happens in pancreatitis
digestive enzymes destory the pancreas
what might happen in untreated pancreatitis
SIRS
2 common auss of pancreatitis
alcohol abuse, gallstones
