Chapter 34 Neo/ped Disorders Flashcards
How to differentiate ttnb and rds
Rds is in preemies, ttnb is in term
Patho of rds
Decreased surfactant causes atelectasis, v/q mismatch and increased work of breathing.
What happens to ABGs during rds
Acidosis
Hypoxemia and acidosis cause increased or decreased pvr?
Increased
Signs of rds
Tachypnea Retractions Paradoxical breathing Grunting Nasal flaring
Breath sounds with rds are
Fine inspiratory crackles
How is rds diagnosed
Cxr with diffuse infiltrates, air bronchograms and low lung volumes
Treatment for rds
Cpap
Surfactant
Hfo
What causes ttnb
Delayed absorption of fetal lung fluid
Pathophysiology of ttnb
Increased lung fluid causes decreased compliance. This can cause air trapping in some areas and hyperinflation in others
Increased risk for ttnb
Cold c sections and prolonged labour
Chest X-ray with ttnb
Perihilar streaking
Pleural effusions in costophrenic angles and fissures
Treatment for ttnb
Cpap and frequent position changes
Amniotic fluid consists of?
Fetal lung fluid, urine and transudate from uterine wall
What is meconium
Thick, sticky substance contained in the fetal bowel
What increases risk of mas?
Post term delivery
Lack of oxygen in utero
What are the three primary problems with mas
Pulmonary obstruction
Lung tissue damage
Pulmonary hypertension
Ball valve obstruction means
Gas can enter but not exit
Type of obstruction that occurs with mas is
Ball valve obstruction
What are common complications with mas
Pphn and right to left shunting
Signs of mas
Fetal tachycardia
Presence of meconium in amniotic fluid
Gasping respirations
Cxr with mas
Irregular densities with atelectasis and hyperinflation
ABG with mas will show
Hypoxemia and metabolic acidosis
Treatment for meconium
If vigorous. Warm dry and stim and suction
If not vigorous, intubate and suction ASAP
Bpd pathophysiology
Caused atelectrauma and volutrauma and exposure to high levels of oxygen
Chest X-ray with bpd shows
Atelectasis emphysema and fibrosis
Treatment of bpd
Preventing vili
Surfactant if needed
Lowest o2 levels required
What is apnea of prematurity
Periods of apnea that last longer than 15 seconds or occur with bradycardia or cyanosis
Cause of apnea of prematurity
Immature control of resp drive
