Q

Q

Development of pulmonary system: 6-12 dos

Respiratory?

A

  • ling size inc. 4x since birth
  • RR continually dec.

Q

Toddler and child examination of cardiopulmonary system

A
  • CNS coordinates dual role of postural control and breathing for all mm of trunk
  • when stressed, the respiratory mm will dec. postural support in order to focus immediate needs of respiration
  • BREATHING ALWAYS WINS!
  • as a PT and an expert in movement dysfunction, should always consider impact of camrdiopulm system.

Q

where to examine chest wall excursion?

A
  • level of 3rd rib
  • xiphoid process
  • half the distance between xiphoid and umbilicus
17
Q

Is breathing pattern efficient and effective to support ADL’s?
Possible interventions?

A
  • positioning
  • neuromuscular retraining
  • MSK intervention
  • “bath chair”
18
Q

Newborn stress response :

A
  • breathe faster because they cannot realistically breathe deeper
  • horizontal rib cage
  • narrow intercostal spacing
  • no anterior chest wall movement against gravity
19
Q

pyramid of synactive theroy

A

physiologic stability –> motor organization –> behavioral state organization –> attention/interaction –> self regulation

20
Q

signs of overstimulation/ stress

A
  • labored breathing, grunting, nostril flaring
  • skin color changes
  • startles
  • irritability/drowsiness
  • sneezing, gaze aversion
  • bowel movement, hiccups
  • finger splay, arm salute, trunk arching
21
Q

fetal circulation

A
  1. lungs not functional
  2. blood deoxygenated by placenta
  3. blood circulated by 3 shunts
  4. R ventricle strengthens
22
Q

5 fetal adaptations before birth.

A
  1. umbilical vein
  2. ductus venous
  3. foramen ovale
  4. ductus arteriosus
  5. umbilical artery
23
Q

neonatal circulation

A
  1. lungs become functional
  2. three fetal shuts close
  3. aeration of lungs
24
Q

what occurs in aeration of lungs?

A
  • dec. in pulmonary vascular resistance
  • inc. in pulmonary blood flow
  • thinning of walls of pulmonary arteries
25
Q

What are the 3 fetal shunts?

A
  • ductus venosus
  • foramen ovale
  • ductus arteriosus
26
Q

What are 3 cases of Acyanotic (L to R shunting) causing extra blood flow to lungs?

A
  1. Patent ductus arteriosus PDA
  2. atrial septal defect (ASD)
  3. ventricular septal defect (VSD)
27
Q

what occurs in patent ductus arteriosus -PDA?

A
  • ductus arteriosus remains open
  • pressure gradient between aorta and pulmonary arteries forces blood from aorta through PDA
  • oxygenated blood mixes with deoxygenated blood
  • varies in size and severity
  • prolonged closure of PDA increases risk of poor developmental outcomes
28
Q

What occurs in atrial septal defect? ASD

A
  • failure of foramen ovale to close
  • abnormal communication between L & R atria
  • usually repaired by suture or patch around 4-6 yrs
29
Q

What occurs in ventricular septal defect? VSD

A
  • most common 20-30% of all defects
  • abnormal communication between L & R ventricles
  • if severe shunting, can switch to R to L shunting, causing severe respiratory distress
  • may close spontaneously
30
Q

Developmentally supportive care

-continuous observation and documentation during and after routines

  • behavioral state
  • autonomic signals
  • motor signals
  • attention signals
  • vital signs
  • SaO2
31
Q

-Benefits

A
  • shorter hospital stays
  • decreased days on ventilator support

  • cost saving of 1100/day
  • decreased incidence of IVH
32
Q

Developmentally supportive care

Changing the NICU environment

A
  • low lights
  • honor babies unique sleep/wake/feeding cycle
