Neonatal abstinence syndrome
- Defined as post-birth drug withdrawal from maternal exposure during utero
- Can only be prevented if mom stops using before or directly when finds out pregnant
- symptoms as soon as 24-48h after birth or as late as 5-10 days after birth
qTC at risk for arrhythmias?
>500
“Prolonged” per Apex:
Men > 0.45
Women > 0.47
Decreases cardiac contractility:
- ischemia
- hypoxia
- acidosis
- hypercapnia (hypercarbia)
- hyperkalemia
- hypocalcemia
- volatile anesthetics
- propofol
- B.blockers
- CCB
Hypokalemia:
Presentation?
EKG?
Presentation
- muscle cramps
- weakness
- paralysis
- worsens dig toxicity
EKG
- Long PR, QT
- Flat T wave
- U wave present
Hyperkalemia:
Presentation?
EKG?
Presentation
- Cardiac rhythm disturbances
- decrease contractility
EKG
- 5.5-6.5: peaked T waves
- 6.5-7.5 P flat and prolonged PR
- 7-8: Wide QRS (antidromic)
- >8.5: sine wave, VF
EKG findings for hypo and hypercalcemia
Hypo - long QT
Hyper - Short QT
