Apgars score
normal HR
normal RR
normal temp… rectally?
–HR: 120-160
–RR: 40-60
–T: 36.5 – 37.5 rectally
dont forget to look at their tone and color!
2 different types of words to describe babies weight
Small for gestation (SGA)
Large for gestation (LGA
what are you looking at in head exam ((3 things))
fontanelles
suture lines
molding/brusiing/scalp probe
what is this
Caput succadaneum: soft tissue swelling, will corss suture lines
soft and boggy, resolves in 24 hours
whats going on here?
Cephalohematoma: blood collection underneath the periosteum, DOES NOT cross suture lines
can put at risk for jaundice
localized to one bone at a time
can stick around for a few months
and here?
Subgaleal hemorrhage: larger potential space where blood can accumulate
medical emergency
extremely rare!! life threatening
and here they all are
yah gooooo peds!
Eye exam what are we looking for?
and if not present or unequal what could be going on
•Red reflex
–If not present or unequal: ? Congenital cataracts, optho consultation
should be present in both eyes if not contact eye doctor
often no conjugate until ____-____ months
4-6 months
what is this?
Dysconjugate gaze
what is going on here?
Subconjunctival hemorrhage: non painful, due to birthing trauma
whats this?
Dacryostenosis: sclera and conjunctiva not injected
and this?
Gonococcal conjunctivitis: rare!
eryrthromycin given to all babies to prevent this stuff
two things we are looking at on nose exam
–Patency?
–Deformity?
Ear exam…
what is a position of the ear to be looking for?
what can there be an association with?
what type of abnormalities? syndromes?
low set, posteriorly rotated ears
association with renal anomalies and hearing loss
chromosonal abnormalities, genetic syndromes
how is this ear?
normal
how is this ear?
Preauricular Tag
what is going on with this ear?
Preauricular Pit
Ankyloglossia
tongue tied
what is this a picture of?
•Oral candidiasis (thrush)
cannot brush away
and there is some firability when it is wipped away

Micrognathia :
- ? Underlying chromosomal abnormality
- Feeding difficulty
4 things you do while examining neck, clavicles, and chest
- Palpate clavicles
- Inspect for symmetry
- Check neck folds
- Breast buds
•Fetal circulation
where does shunting happen and
where does oxygenation occur
–Shunting through foramen ovale and ductus arteriosus
–Oxygenation occurs via the placenta
what happens during transition to infant with cardio physiology
–> pulomonary vascular resistance _______, sysetmic pressure ________
–> __________ closes
–> ______________ constricts when oxygenation increases
–Pulmonary vascular resistance decreases, systemic pressures increase
–Foramen ovale closes
–Ductus arteriosus constricts when oxygenation increases
•Auscultation of murmurs
–Continuous “washing-machine” PDA murmur
–Systolic vs. diastolic murmurs
- Observation of skin color
- Assess perfusion
- Assess respiratory effort
- O2 sats (pre and post-ductal)
