Q

What is PPHN

A

persisent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn

lungs dont dilate properly after first breath

pressure remains high

blood cant oxygenate enough

hypoxic

R-> L shunt

Q

Describe normal fetal circulation

A

lungs filled with fluid, vessels constricted, pressure inside lung vessels high

LA pressure low, so foramen ovale open

after first breath/cry lungs fill with air, vessels dilate, oxygenated blood supplies brain and body. Lung and blood vessel pressure now low, LA pressure high foramen ovale closes

Q

Descrive transposition on the great arteries

A

R->L shunt

Aorta from RV and Pul artery from LV

PDA occrs at the same time allowing life (sometimes also VSD or ASD)

Q

presentation of transposition of great vessels

A

cyanosis on day 2 when DA would close, less profound if VSD/ASD also present

O/E second heart sound loud and single

Q

Symptoms/Signs of coarctation

A

more severe over years

asymptomatic

  • systemic HTN
  • Radio-femoral delay (blood bypasses obstruction via colat vessels in chest wall)
  • ejection systolic mumur at upper sternal edge
  • collaterals heard with continous mumur at back

Q

Ix coarctation

A

CXR

  • rib notching (dev of larger colat intercostal arteries running under ribs posterior to bypass obstruction)
  • 3 sign- visible notch in descending aorta at site of coartaction

ECG - LVH

Q

Sepsis managemtn

A

Keep 02 >92%

fluid resuscitation if tachy, hypo, increased CRP, (20mls/kg of 0.9% saline) repeat X3

call intensive care if no improvement and give cefotaxime

  • bone pain, mass, limp
26
Q

How to assess control of asthma

A
  • how often do you use your blue?
  • how many courses of oral steroids in last 6m
  • how any hospital admissions last 6 m
  • ever been to intensive care
27

A

OHSHITME

  • O2
