CLIPP Cases 2 Flashcards
Infants born to teen mom risks
Lower birth weight, higher risk of vertical transmission, poorer developmental outcomes, and higher risk of fetal death
APGAR score
Appearance (skin color) Pulse (heart rate) Grimace (reflex irritability) Activity (muscle tone) Respiration
Metabolic risks for SGA babies
Hypoglycemia, hypothermia, and polycythemia
TORCH testing
Hepatitis B- Maternal hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)
Rubella- Maternal and infant rubella titer
Toxoplasma- Infant toxoplasma titer
CMV- Infant urine culture
Brain imaging of congenital CMV
- Intracranial calcifications (these appear as bright areas on CT)
- Diminished number of gyri and abnormally thick cortex (a condition known as lissencephaly or agyria-pachygyria)
- Enlarged ventricles

When do you give first Tdap
11-12 years old (different from Dtap given to babies)
What causes transient tachypnea of the newborn
delayed clearance of fluid from the lungs following birth
more common in IDM and c-sections
APGAR scores acts as
mechanism to record fetal-to-neonatal transition
HR and RR in first and second hour of life
First hour: 160–180 per minute, and the respiratory rate is often 60–80 per minute
2nd hour: Heart rate is usually 120–160 per minute, and the respiratory rate is usually 40–60 per minute.

TOF and TGA
Primary anabolic hormone for fetal growth
Insulin
Target glucose screening for babies prior to feeds
> 45
When is urine culture helpful in newborn
After 4 days old
TTN chest xray
This x-ray will show “wet” looking lungs, no consolidation, and no air bronchograms.
3 big DDH risk factors

Majority of AE to vaccines come
24-48 hours
Live like MMR and varicella can take 7 days
Fever of unknown origin when? Vs fever without a source
Defined as a temperature greater than 38.3 C (101 F) for at least two weeks’ duration with failure to reach a diagnosis after one week of evaluation
Fever without a source when a complete H and P done and no source identified

3 key asthma features
Airway inflammation
Mucus hyper secretion
Reversible airflow obstruction due to bronchoconstriction
What is paradoxical breathing
When force of contraction of the diaphragm exceeds ability of chest wall to expand ribcage, and chest gets drawn inward with inspiration
3 stages of pertussis
- catarrhal stage - 1 to 2 weeks of URI type symptoms
- paroxysmal stage- 4 to 6 weeks of whooping type cough
- convalescent stage- episodic cough that may persist for months

Characteristic wheezes of asthma
Musical or polyphonic noises that occur in a continuous fashion during respiration, usually expiratory
What is thought to cause ronchi
due to mucus/secretions in the airways.
