CHAPTER 27 Flashcards
Commonly Affected Systems in Children Born with Physical or Developmental Challenges
• Skeletal system
• Gastrointestinal System
• Nervous System
“tongue-tied”
- abnormal restriction of tongue by abnormally tight frenulum
ANKYLOGLOSSIA
It is a failure of the maxillary & median nasal processes to fuse that range from small notch in the upper lip to total separation of lip & facial structure up into floor of the nose, with even upper teeth and gingiva absent.
CLEFT LIP
It is a palate opening that usually on the midline & involves anterior hard palate, posterior soft palate, or both.
- palate process closes at 9th-12th WOOL
CLEFT PALATE
a triad of micrognathia (small mandible, cleft palate, and glossoptosis (tongue malpositioned downward)
PIERRE ROBIN SYNDROME
an example of cleft palate occuring as only one part of a syndrome
PIERRE ROBIN SYNDROME
orifice/passage in the body that is closed or absent
ATRESIA
-abnormally/surgically made passage between hollow or tubular organ and body surface, between 2 hollow or tubular organs
FISTULA
obstruction of esophagus
ESOPHAGEAL ATRESIA
Management of FISTULA, ATRESIA, ESOPHAGEAL ATRESIA
•emergency surgery
•antibiotics
•gastrostomy
•close monitoring until suture dissolves
- Abdominal contents protruding through wall of abdomen at the junction of umbilical cord and abdomen.
- Intestines are usually herniated but sometimes it included STOMACH and LIVER
OMPHALOCELE
usually converted and contained by THIN AMNION and CHORION LAYER with umbilical cord protruding from EXPOSED SAC
OMPHALOCELE
- defect < 4cm
HERNIA OF UMBILICAL CORD
- > 10cm
TRUE OMPHALOCELE EXIST
- covered by thin membrane (but can be ruptured)
- central through umbilical ring
OMPHALOCELE
- No covering membrane (but there could be fibrous matter)
lateral to umbilicus (often to the right)
GASTROSCHISIS
Management of OMPHALOCELE
- surgery within 24hrs after birth
- IF SMALL (one stage repair may be possible)
- IF LARGE (surgical approach with the use of prosthetic patch
- Silastic pouch / “silo”
- TPN
pt had hydramnios throughout pregnancy
findings: newborn is < 30mL gastric contents can be aspirated, distended abdomen and tender to palpate
- when infant vomit; NOT SOUR SMELLING, appearance may be GREEN or BLACK
STENOSIS NARROWING
- pain can be manifested by hard, forceful distressful crying, and legs pulling up against abdomen
- Tachypnea as diaphragm is pushed up
- abdominal flat-plate radiograph pr sonogram reveals ABSENCE OF AIR AT THE LEVEL OF OBSTRUCTION
Confirmation of STENOSIS NARROWING because this aids greater visualization of point of obstruction
BARIUM ENEMA/SWALLOW
other term is “anal stenosis
IMPERFORATE ANUS
Assessment of IMPERFORATE ANUS INCLUDE THESE 3
• wink reflex is absent
• no stools will be passed
• distended abdomen
is narrowing the end of tube that takes stool out of the body
ANAL STRICTURE
• absence of stool
• passing of stools in other openings
• swollen belly
• absence of anal opening
Clinical Manifestations of Newborns with IMPERFORATE ANUS (first physical examination)
Management of IMPERFORATE ANUS
• NPO until surgery done
• temporary colostomy until repair, if possible
• OGT/NGT insertion
• IV for fluid and electrolyte replacement
• Surgery
- protrusion of an abdominal organ (usually the stomach or intestine) through a defect
- usually occurs on the left side causing CARDIAC DISPLACEMENT to the right side of chest and COLLAPSE of lungs
DIAPHRAGMATIC HERNIA
Assessment of DIAPHRAGMATIC HERNIA
• bowel removal can be don me via FETOSCOPY
• dyspnea occurs due to lung compressed by an abdominal organ
• abdomen looks generally sunken
• affected side has absent breath sounds
• infant looks cyanotic
• retraction in the intercoastal or subcoastal retractions
• shunting of right-to-left by foramen ovale and may cause patency of ductus arteriosus
