CHAPTER 5:4 Flashcards
GASTROINTESTINAL DISORDERS
STRUCTURAL DISORDERS of GASTROINTESTINAL DISORDER
A. CLEFT LIP (HARELIP)/CLEFT PALATE
B. ESOPHAGEAL ATRESIA with TRACHEOESOPHAGEAL FISTULA
C. OMPHALOCELE/GASTROSCHISIS
Distinct facial defects that occurs singly or in combination
CLEFT LIP (HARELIP)/CLEFT PALATE
Malformation of the face that may occur individually or together
CLEFT LIP (HARELIP)/CLEFT PALATE
CLEFT LIP (HARELIP)/CLEFT PALATE:
→ Merging of the upper lip is completed between _____ wk AOG
→ Fusion of the palate is completed between _____ wk AOG
- 7-8th wk AOG
- 7-12th wk AOG
failure of the maxillary and median nasal processes to fuse
Cleft Lip
Incomplete fusion of the palate which results in communication between the mouth and the nose
Cleft Palate
Incidence of:
- Cleft Lip
- Cleft Palate
- 1:800 live births
- Males
——————— - 1:2000 live births
- Females
Associated with deformed
dental structures
Cleft Lip
Difficulty feeding =infant is unable to generate a negative pressure and create suction in the oral cavity
Cleft Palate
Types of Cleft Lip
- Complete
- Incomplete
- Unilateral
- Bilateral
Type of Cleft Lip that extends into the base of the nose and even the gums in which upper teeth are set may also be deformed
Complete
Prone to recurrent otitis media→fluid can get in the middle ear →tympanic membrane scarring →hearing loss
Cleft Palate
Type of Cleft Lip that is a small notch; maybe a little more than a notching of the vermillion border of the lip and may extend to the nostril
Incomplete
Type of Cleft Lip that is generally below the center of one nostril
Unilateral
Type of Cleft Lip that is beneath both nostril
Bilateral
Cause of CLEFT LIP (HARELIP)/CLEFT PALATE related to chromosomal abnormalities; associated with other defects (omphalocele; TEF); inherited – evidenced by increase incidence in relatives
Genetics
Cause of CLEFT LIP (HARELIP)/CLEFT PALATE related to teratogens (maternal smoking accounts for 11-12% of cases, viral infection, folic acid deficiency/avitaminosis)
Environmental
CL is apparent at birth – detected with what instrument while in Utero
Sonogram
surgical modification for Cleft Lip
CHEILOPLASTY
surgical modification for Cleft Palate
URANOPLASTY
Date of repair for CHEILOPLASTY
6-12 weeks (precedes CP)
Date of repair for URANOPLASTY
12-18 months
Surgical modification:
* early repair avoids oral deprivation, prevents trauma and difficulty for the parents
* its difficult to bond with an infant with deformed face
CHEILOPLASTY
surgical modification to take advantage of palatal changes that take place with normal growth and before child develops faulty speech
URANOPLASTY
surgical modification in anticipation of speech development, it is done before the child develops faulty speech habits
URANOPLASTY
what position is to facilitate swallowing and discourage aspiration to pediatrics with CLEFT LIP (HARELIP)/CLEFT PALATE
Upright position
What is done because more air is swallowed which can cause regurgitation/vomiting
Burp frequently
widely used as part of a cleft lip management to maintain postoperative apposition and to avoid excessive strain after cheiloplasty for a cleft lip
Logan’s bow/butterfly adhesive
At what condition are these done to Avoid trauma to the operative site:
▪ Elbow restraint
▪ Jacket restraint for older children to prevent rubbing of site
CL
In cleft palate, up to how many weeks are needed for the use of elbow restraint until palate is healed to avoid trauma to the operative site?
4-6 weeks
failure of the esophagus to develop a continuous passage, and esophagus ends in a blind pouch with no entry to the stomach
Esophageal atresia (EA)
abnormal connection between the esophagus and the trachea
Tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF)
3 C’s of TEF
choking, coughing, cyanosis
used to determine exact type of anomaly (radiopaque catheter then chest films are taken)
Radiography
Management for gastric decompression (placement of a feeding tube, left open to drain by gravity to keep stomach empty of secretion and prevent reflux into lung) and jejunosotomy feeding
Gastrostomy
an alternative to gastrostomy if the 2nd step surgery will be much later
Cervical esophagostomy
in post-op ESOPHAGEAL ATRESIA with TRACHEOESOPHAGEAL FISTULA, what is the best position to prevent gastric juice from flowing to the fistula
Semi-Fowler’s position or right side
Protrusion of intraabdominal contents into the base of umbilicus which is covered by a
translucent sac (peritoneum without skin)→rupture→evisceration
OMPHALOCELE
Protrusion of intraabdominal contents through defect in abdominal wall lateral to umbilical ring which is never with a peritoneal sac
GASTROSCHISIS
WHAT ARE THE DISORDERS OF MOTILITY IN GASTROINTESTINAL DISORDERS
A. GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX
B. HIRSCHPRUNG’S DISEASE
C. COLIC
OBSTRUCTIVE DISORDERS IN GASTROINTESTINAL DISORDERS
A. INTUSSUSCEPTION
B. HYPERTROPHIC PYLORIC STENOSIS
MALABSORPTION SYNDROME IN GASTROINTESTINAL DISORDERS
CELIAC DISEASE
It is the Return of gastric contents into the esophagus / Backward movement of gastric content
GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX
Neuromuscular disturbance in which the cardiac sphincter and lower portion of the esophagus are lax.
GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX
What diagnosis for GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX is used to establish presence of reflux
Barium swallow (esophagography)
What diagnosis for GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX is used where pH determined at distal esophagus (insertion of small catheter into esophagus through nose)→ to determine the number of reflux episodes
24 hour pH probe study
sees number of reflex episodes
What diagnosis for GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX is used with radionuclide scanning for evaluation of gastric emptying (after feeding a radioactive compound)
Scintigraphy
What management is For children with severe complications (recurrent aspiration pneumonia, apnea, severe esophagitis, failure to thrive, failure to respond to medical therapy)
surgery
