B4-034 Development of the Respiratory System Flashcards
oral and nasal regurgitation
tracheoesophageal fistula
tests for evaluation of tracheoesophageal fistula
4
- NG tube
- CR
- KUB
- bronchoscopy
due to failure of developmental separation of esophagus and trachea
tracheoesophageal fistula
infants with tracheoesophageal fistula are at an increased risk of
- vertebral anomalies
- anal atresia
- cardiac, renal and limb anomalies
[VACTERL anomalies]
the most common type of tracheoesophageal fistula occurs with
proximal atresia with distal fistula
[Type C]
which type of trachoesophageal fistula is the only one that would result in the NG tube ending in the stomach
H type
what condition may be seen during pregnancy as a result of tracheoesophageal fistula?
polyhydramnios
VACTERL
V- vertebral anomalies
A-anal atresia
C- CV anomalies
T-tracheoesophageal fistula
E-esophageal atresia
R-renal anomalies
L- limb defects
VACTERL is diagnosed as a
non random association of three or more affected organs
- broncial variation arising from the tracha directed toward upper lung lobe
- near carina
tracheal bronchus
- scaphoid abdomen
- barrel shaped chest
- respiratory distress
- diminished left lung sounds, cardiac shift
congential diaphagmatic hernia
pleuriperitoneal membrane does not close off pleuroperitoneal canal
congential diaphragmatic hernia
results in:
* pulmonary hypoplasia
* fewer branches of respiratory tree
* increased muscularization of pulmonary arteries –> pulmonary hypertension
congenital diaphragmatic hernia
absence of surfactant
neonatal respiratory distress syndrome
diffuse ground glass apperance with air bronchograms
infantile respiratory distress syndrome
ground glass appearance of plain film imaging is due to
atelectasis
infants born to diabetic mothers can have an increased risk of
neonatal respiratory distress syndrome
high insulin inhibits corticosteroids that lead to surfactant production
treatment for neonatal RDS
- administer surfactant
- CPAP
- dx patent ductus arteriosus
- fluconanzole (candida)
preventative steps for neonatal RDS
- antenatal corticosteroids
- intratracheal surfactant replacement therapy right after birth
severe neonatal respiratory distress is caused by a […] membrane
hyaline
made of debris
less urine out= less fluid
oligohydramnios
less swallowing = more fluid
polyhydramnios
second most common cause for oligohydramnios
kidney anomalies
associated with lung hypoplasia (potter sequence)
pulmonary hypoplasia develops secondarily to
3
CDH
oligohydramnios
renal agenesis
first most common cause of oligohydramnios
amniotic fluid leaking
restricts “infant breathing”
polyhydramnios can be secondary to
TEF
collapsed bronchi occur because of weakened or absent cartilage in bronchi
congenital lobar emphysema
initial establishment of blood-air barrier occurs during
terminal sac period
differentiation of capillary endothelium and type I pneumocytes occurs during
terminal sac stage
increase in number of alveoli occurs during the
alveolar period
