diseases Flashcards
In BPD an ecg may reflect? I. Right axis deviation II. Right ventricle hypertrophy III. Left axis deviation IV. Left ventricle hypertrophy A. I, II, III B. I, II C. I, IV D. I only
B. Right axis deviation, right ventricle hypertrophy
T or F: in BPD you may see increased bicarb levels
True
In BPD what would you want to keep PaO2 and PaCO2 around?
PaO2 = 50=70 PaCO2 = 45-55
Another important means of treating BPD in regards to the ET tube is?
Leak around ET tube
What medication may be used in treatment of BPD?
Theophylline
What medication may be used in treatment of right heart failure?
Digoxin
What is a normal nutritional level to give?
24-28 cal/ounce
A syndrome where pulmonary changes in function are seen in premature neonate without underlying lung disease is called?
Wilson-Mikity Syndrome (pulmonary dismaturity)
One sign of IVH/ICH is a drop in what level?
Hct
T or F: You would expect to see apnea as a sign of IVH/ICH
True
What are the results of the four stages of IVH/ICH?
I= into germinal matrix II= germinal matrix to ventricles III= dilation of ventricles IV= dilation of ventricles to brain perenchyma
What are triggers of IVH/ICH?
shock, acidosis, blood transfusion or rapid blood volume expension, seizures, mechanical ventilation, increased ICP, maternal alcohol intake
What medication has been shown to help in treatment of IVH/ICH?
Low dose indomethacin
Asyhyxia is a combination of what 3 conditions?
Hypoxia, Hypercarbia, acidosis
Presence of ______ at birth can cause asphyxia
meconium
Wilson Mikity is also known as?
pulmonary dismaturity
On a chest xray if you see irregular densities, hyperinflation and you have a full term infant you may have ?
MAS
TorF: widespread atelectasis is not a sign of MAS
False; widespread atelectasis is a sign of MAS
T or F: Positive pressure ventilation is the most effective treatment of MAS?
False; no PPV until meconium is gone; treat with blow by at 100%
_________ is very rare condition in neonates but has no treatment.
Pulmonary air embolism
What variables does OI use to predict liklihood of mortality and at what level?
Mean airway pressure, FIO2, PaO2
MAP x (Fio2/PaO2) x 100
Score greater than 40 means 80% liklihood of mortality
What treatment may be used in PPHN and may prevent need for ECMO
NO
What clinical dosing of NO should be used?
Start at 20 ppm; then after 4 hrs if stable:
Stable means PO2 < 60 & pH < 7.55
decrease to 5 ppm;
Leave at 5 ppm until FIO2 < 70% & paO2 = 60-100
When treating with NO after titration to 5 ppm a patient should be left at this rate until the paO2 = ______ at ______ FIO2
PaO2 is = 60-100 on less that .70 FIO2
