Premie = 100-120 ml/kg
12 = 70
42
Q

Why do increases in preload and afterload have negligible effects on PEDS CO?

A
  • Fewer contractile elements
  • Deficiency of elastic elements
  • Reduced compliance
43
Q

What is ventricular interdependence?

A

-Change in ventricular pressure to 1 ventricle effects the other

44
Q

What causes ventricular interdependence?

A
  • Low ventricle compliance

- Equal ventricle muscle mass

45
Q

Why would you pretreat a neonate w/ atropine prior to intubation?

A

Incomplete autonomic innervation leads to bradycardia upon stimulation.

A

Stroke volume

47
Q

The hallmark of intravascular fluid depletion in neonates and infants is?
