CLIPP 7 Flashcards
risk factors for infant resp distressw
GBS –>sepisis, prolonged premature rupture of membranes (>=18h), c section leading to transient tachypnea of newborn, prematurity predisposed to RDS due to lung immaturity and lack of surfactant but most infants born at 36w don’t have RDS, meconium in amniotic fluid is risk for meconium aspiration, maternal dm
Risk factors for infant resp distress
Gbs bc leads to sepsis, prolonged premature rupture of membranes (more than or equal to 18h), c section leads to transient tachypnea of newborn, prematurity (predisposed to rds due to lung immaturity and lack of surfactant but most infants born 36w don’t have rds), meconium in amniotic fluid is risk for meconium aspiration, maternal diabetes
RDS is caused by, occurs at, has sx of
deficiency of lung surfactant and delayed lung maturation , can occur as late as 37 weeks, cases tachypneia
most common cause of resp distress in preemies
RDS
Mom having DM is risk for
delayed lung mat. and low surfactant in infant
infants of moms w/ c section or DM or LGA infants more likely to have
TTN
infants of moms w/ c section or DM or LGA infants (and SGA?) more likely to have
TTN
PTX risk factors
underlying lung dz like meconium aspiration or neonatal RDS, or mechanical ventilation
a non specific response to hypoglycemia
Tachypneia
a non specific response to hypoglycemia
Tachypneia
BS levels in diabetic moms babies
hypo glycemia because of hyperinsulinemic state occurring in gestation
what is one group of babies have increased risk of heart defects and thus increased risk of CHF
IDM
prolonged PROM is assoc w/
neonatal sepsis increased incidence
one initial presentation of neonatal sepsis
tachypnea
congenital diaphragmatci hernia
Most common type (accounting for > 95% of cases) is the Bochdalek hernia, which is located posterolaterally.
This defect allows the passage of organs from the abdomen into the chest cavity and severely impairs lung development.
Most defects occur on the left side.
Absent breath sounds or presence of bowel sounds on one side of the chest are important diagnostic clues.
absent breath sounds or presence of bowel sounds on one side of chest can indicate
congenital diaphragmatic hernai
how does coarc cause resp distress
severe outflow obstruction of left vent
circumstances of neonatal PE
only if redisposing condition such as placement of a central venous catheter
why are preemies more likely to become hypothermic
bc small body size
how is apgar scored in general
5 areas (appearance/color, pulse/hr, grimace/reflex, activity/tone, respirations), each gets a score of 0-2 for a total score of 0-10. normal is 7-10, assign scores q5min as long as score is under 7. otherwise just do at min 1 and 5.
apgar HR scores:
0-absent
1- 100
apgar resp effort scores:
0 - absent
1- weak, irreg, gasp
2- good, crying
apgar muscle tone scores:
0 - flaccid
1 - some flexion of extremities
2- well flexed, or active movement of extrmieities
apgar relfex/irritab scores:
0 - no response
1 - grimace, weak cry
2- good cry / active withdrawal
apgar appearance/color scores:
0 - cyanotic or pale all over
1- extremities blue
2 - pink all over
factors impacting apgar score
gestational age, maternal medications, resuscitation, and cardiorespiratory and neurologic conditions that may be present in the infant.
what does apgar represent
fetus to neonatal transition
what is a good indicator of health of intrauterine environment
infants weight at birth
percentiles for LGA, AGA, SGA
> 90th, 10-90th, below 10th or below 3rd
LGA complicatiosn and cuases
main cause is maternal DM
complications include brachial plexus injury, facial n palsy, fx clavicle
