Stents are placed in nares
Nursing Interventions for cleft lip/palate
Respiratory status Feeding behaviors Parent/infant interactions - bonding Skin integrity, Oral hygiene Prevention of Infection
Treatment for cleft lip/palate
Surgery, based on severity
Modified feeding techniques or devices
ESSR for feeding difficulties
E = Enlarge the nipple S = Stimulate the suck reflex S = Swallow fluid appropriately R = Rest when infant signals with facial expression
Esophageal Atresia (EA) and Tracheoesophageal Fistula (TEF)
Esophagus and trachea do not develop as parallel tracts
Esophagus ends as either:
- Blind pouch
- Connected to trachea by a fistula
TEF and EA Clinical Manifestations
***Excessive salivation and drooling: frothy mucus
Apnea
Respiratory distress after eating
Abdominal distention
“The Three C’s” of TEF and EA
coughing, choking, cyanosis
Diagnostic testing and treatment plan for TEF and EA
CXR -> radio-opaque or
Pediatric surgeon: endoscopy or bronchoscopy
Nursing Diagnoses for 1 day old with TEF
- Ineffective Airway Clearance
- Risk for aspiration
- Impaired gas exchange
- FVD
- Interrupted family processes
- Deficient knowledge
Abdominal wall defects: Two variations of abdominal hernias
Omphalacele and Gastroschisis
Omphalacele
Intra-abdominal contents herniate through umbilical cord
Covered with peritoneal membrane
Gastroschisis
Abdominal organs herniate through abdominal wall
Not covered with peritoneal membrane
4 types of Anorectal Malformations
Anal stenosis - narrowing
Anal atresia - absent -> blind pouch or fistulas
Imperforate anus - blind pouch or membrane
Fistula – recto-urethra, recto-vaginal, recto…
Anorectal Malformations are considered ___ congenital defects
Common
Biliary Atresia - what is it, and what are the 4 things is can lead to?
- Absence or constriction of common bile duct
- Bile cannot flow from liver into duodenum
- Results in: Cholestasis Fibrosis Cirrhosis Death
Clinical Manifestations of Biliary Atresia
- Bile backup in liver:
Inflammation, edema, hepatic degeneration
Malabsorption of fats and vitamins - Jaundice
- Dark urine
- ***Alcoholic stools
- Weight loss
- Irritability
- Enlarged liver and abdomen
Cystic fibrosis
Impermeable Epithelial Cells
a hereditary disorder characterized by
lung congestion and infection and malabsorption of nutrients.
excessive mucous production in bronchioles… ..and in pancreas, bile ducts, and small intestine
CFTR gene:
Autosomal Recessive
Both parents contribute the altered gene
Each pregnancy has 25% chance of developing altered gene
Higher incidence in Caucasians and Ashkenazi Jews.
What may be the first sign of cystic fibrosis? That and what other initial symptoms?
meconium ileus
steatorrhea - bulky, frothy, foul-smelling stool
Prenatal Factors associated with CHD (4)
Maternal insulin-dependent diabetes
Maternal rubella
Maternal alcoholism
Maternal age > 40 yrs
Genetic Factors associated with CHD (4)
Chromosomal – 50% risk Down Syndrome
Sibling with heart defect
Parent with CHD
Other non-cardiac congenital anomalies
Diagnosing Heart Anomalies
ECHO
Cardiac Catheterization
Congenital Heart Defects associated with Increased Pulmonary Blood Flow (Acyanotic)
**VSD
**ASD
**PDA
AVC
Congenital Heart Defects associated with Obstructed Blood Flow (Acyanotic)
**COA
AS
Congenital Heart Defects associated with Decreased Pulmonary Blood Flow (Cyanotic)
TOF
PS
T/PA
Congenital Heart Defects associated with Mixed Blood Flow (Cyanotic)
***TGA
HLHS
TAPVR
TA
Ventricular Septal Defect
Small or large opening in septum between left and right ventricles
Left to right shunting
Ventricular Septal Defect clinical presentation and assessment
Tachypnea, dyspnea
Poor growth, reduced fluid intake
Frequent respiratory infections
Onset of Heart Failure
Atrial Septal Defect
Small or large opening in septum between the left and right atria
Foramen ovale doesn’t close
Patent Ductus Arteriosus
Connection between the aorta and the pulmonary artery
Blood flows from the aorta (left side) to the pulmonary artery (right side) increasing blood flow to the lungs
Coarctation of the Aorta
- Aorta narrows, usually near the ductus arteriosus, obstructing blood flow
- Ejection click
- Systolic murmur
Persistent hypertension is common – restenosis can occur
Transposition of the Great Arteries
- Parallel circulation
- Aorta originates from the right ventricle
- Pulmonary artery originates from the left ventricle
- Prostaglandin to maintain PDA
With regards to the pathophysiology for Spina Bifida: Meningocele or Myelomeningocele, it means that what happened in the first few weeks?
In first few weeks:
Neural Tube fails to close, or
Neural Tube splits after closing
Prenatal Dx of Spina Bifida: Meningocele or Myelomeningocele
Ultrasound
Elevated AFP
Meningocele
Sac contains meninges (membranes) and CSF
No spinal cord abnormalities
Doesn’t necessarily require surgery
Myelomeningocele
Usually in lumbar area but can occur anywhere on spinal column
Impact depends on location
generally requires surgery
If Myelomeningocele is located below L2, what will the impact be?
- Partial paralysis of lower extremities
- Incontinence
If Myelomeningocele is located below S3, what will the impact be?
- No motor impairment
- May be incontinent or have some control
Pre-Op nursing interventions for Myelomeningocele surgery (5)
- Cover sac with warm NS sterile dog
- Monitor for CSF leakage
- Prone with knees slightly flexed
- Assess bowel, bladder function
- Monitor for signs of infection
Pavlik harness
dynamic splint that allows movement for Developmental Dysplasia of Hip
Amniotic Band Syndrome
occurs when the unborn baby (fetus) becomes entangled in fibrous string-like amniotic bands in the womb, restricting blood flow and affecting the baby’s development.
