AOTA Pediatric Assessment and Intervention Flashcards
what three major cardiovascular changes must take place at birth?
hole between right and left atria must close
dcutus arteriosis must close
ductus venosus must close
what are the three categories of heart defects
defets that increase pulmonary blood flow
defects that decrease pulmonary blood flow
defects mixed with pulmonary blood flow
what are some OT treatment implications for children with congential heart defets
children may have decreased enduracne but develop normally
pace actitivites accordingly
selective care
education in general health maintenacne.
define bradydysrhytmia
abnormally slow heart rate <60 bpm
define tachydysrhythmia
abnormally fast heart rate >200-300 bpm
define respiratory distress syndrome
acute condition; common in preterm; caseud byb deficiency of surfactant; results in compromised oxygen absroption and carbon dizoide elimination
define bronchopulmonary dysplasia
results of prolonged use of mechanical ventilation and other traumatic interventions to trat acute repsriatory problems
define asthma
bronical smooth muscle hyperreactivity that causes airway constriction in lower repsiratory trac,t difficulty breathng and wheezing.
how can OTs treat asthnma
education on irritans
self-management strats
peer-group acitivites
education on breathing exercisesm, stretching and controileld breathing.
define cystic fibrorsis
degnerative condition caused by inherited autosomal recessive disorder
characterize dby uscle-pproducing glands malfunctioning and producing secretions that atre thick, viscous and lacking water that block pancreatic duct, bronchial tree and disgestive tract.
describe OT treatment of CF
educatiom about progression
instruction in energy conservation
education in promoting efficient breathing.
define erythrocytosis
too many RBCs which leads to transient leukemia
define hemopohila
absense or reduction of one of the clitting blood proteins.
define the three types of hemophilia
mild - bleeding after traumatic event
moderate - bleeding after minor injuries
severe - bleeding after an apparent cue.
define anemia
iron deficiceny in blood
define sickle cell anemia
abnormally shaped red blood cells that causes decreased energy
define osteogenesis imperfecta
brittle bone disease.= in which minor trauma can cause fracture
define marfan’s syndrome
excessive growth at ephyphseal plates.
long and slender fingers, skull asymmertries, tall stature. lax and hypermobile joints
define achondroplasia
grow to 4 feet tall or less; limbs are short in length; prominent forehead and small nose/jaw.
define arthrogryposis multiplex congential
reduced anteiror horn cells in spinal ord; incomplete contracture of many or all of joints.
presents with stiff and spindly extremities
OT treatment for AMC include
increase and mitain client’s ROM and strength
increase functional participation in occupations
define congential clubfoot
unilateral or bilateral forefoot adduction and supination, heel varus, equinus of ankle, medial deviation of foot.
define congential club hand
partial or full absence of the radius and bowing of the uylnar shaft with absensce or underdevleiopment of UE nerve and muscualture.
define devleopmental dysplasia of hip
hip laxity. treated with bracing, casting, or splinting.
define polydactyly
excess of fingers or toes.
define syndactlyl
webbing occurs betwen figners or toes.
define bradydactlyl
overly large digits
define macrodactlyl
overly small digits
define amelia
absense of limb or distal segments of a limb
define strain
too strong an effort or excessive use of a particiular body part and is charaterized by trauma to the mucle or muscle-tendon insertion
define sprain
trauma to joint and is characterized by raid swelling, heat and impaired fgunction
define bruise (contusion)
caused by injury with diffuse impact into the subcutaneous tissue and is charactesed by skiun discoloration.
define JRA
joint inflammation, joint stiffnes,s joint contractures, charge in growth patterns. most comon form of arthritis in children.
what are the OT interventions for JRA
splinting, involve client in AROM and PROM, monitor joint function and prevention of deformity
educate client in energy conservation.
define the different types of fractures
complete - bone is broken straight through
cominuted - bone is broken into many splinted pieces
compoiund - leads to external wound at site of fracture
epipphyseal 0- break occurs betwen shaft of bone at epiphysis
greenstick - partiually brokoen and partially bent
intrauterine - broken in utero
define lordosis
anteroposterior curvature directed posteriorly; hollow spine
define kyphosis
posterior convexity
define scoliosis
lateral survature, spinal rotation, and thoracic hypokyphisis
define treatment ideas for curvature of the spine
stretching, postural training, bracing, splinting.
define CP
nonprogressive condition that encompasses neuroloigic, motor and postural deficits.
characterized by difficulty maintianing normal muscle postures because of lack of muscle coactivation and devleopment of abnormal compenastory movement patterns.
define hemiplegia
affect UE and LE on one side of the body
define qwuadriplegia
affets UE and LE on both sides
define diplegia
quadriplegia with mild UE involvement and significant involvement in LE
define athetotis
fluctuation of tone from low to normal with little spasticity
define choreoathetosis
constant fluctuation from low to high tone, without cocontractions; apppear as jerky movement
define flaccidity
marked low tone
define ataxia
tone usually within normal range but involving LE flexion pattenrs.
describe OT treatment for CP
maintain AROM and PROM through stretching, exercise and orthotics
use AE and AT to enhance particppation and independence in education, play, leisure and doical participation
seating and positioning
CIMT
define tonic clonic seizures
expeirecnes sensation that seizure is about to begin; followed byu LOC and rhythmic clonic contractions. last 5 mins or longer. incontinence is common.
define absence seizures
brief lapse or loss of awareness along with absence of motor activity.
