Exam 2 Flashcards
when does physiologic jaundice start
at least 24 hours old
breast-feeding jaundice is due to
inadequate breast milk intake leading to decreased excretion of bilirubin
breast-feeding jaundice improves when
intake is improved

3-5 days
when does physiologic jaundice resolve
1-2 weeks
when does breast milk jaundice peak
< 3 weeks
when does breast milk jaundice resolve

laprascopic surgical repair: fundoplication
diaphragmatic hernia ssx
respiratory distress, poor breath sounds, scaphoid abdomen, pulmonary hypoplasia/hypertension, cardiac defects, chromosomal abnormalities
testing for diaphragmatic hernia
antenatal US, UGI study
diaphragmatic hernia treatment
surgical reduction of organs, intubation/gastric decompression, treat for ongoing GERD, pulmonary HTN
incarcerated hernia definition
irreducible hernia with viable contents, contents of hernia sack are stuck to one another by adhesions
incarcerated hernia aka
obstructed hernia
strangulated hernia definition
visceral contents of hernia become twisted or entrapped by narrow opening with compromised blood supply and ischemic/necrotic contents.
strangulated hernia presentation
painful/tender on palpation
sliding hernia definition
part of a viscus is adherent to the outside of the peritoneum forming the hernial sack beyond the hernial orifice
which type of hernia constitutes a medical emergency
strangulated
most childhood and congenital inguinal hernias are:
indirect
indirect hernia definition
enters inguinal canal at deep inguinal ring and transverses it with spermatic cord. It is lateral to the inferior epigastric vessels and can pass into scrotum or labial majora
direct hernia definition
a bulge through weakened fascia of abdominal wall located directly behind superficial inguinal ring, medial to inferior epigastric vessels. Rarely enter the scrotum
when do most pediatric umbilical hernias resolve spontaneously
within 3 years
what is gastroschisis
eviscerated bowel to the right of the umbilical cord with no covering membrane
what is omphalocele
protruding sac containing multiple organs with umbilical cord at apex
malrotation ssx
abd distention, pain, vomiting (possibly bilious), hematochezia, possibly toxic appearance
volvulus ssx
abd distention, pain, bilious vomiting, constipation, tympanitic abdomen, possibly toxic appearance
radiographic sign of duodenal obstruction (volvulus)
double bubble sign
what is diaphragmatic hernia
stomach/intestines protrude into chest cavity with displacement of lung and heart
where does diaphragmatic hernia usually occur
on the left
who is more likely to get inguinal hernia
boys
umbilical hernia red flags
red/purple, painful, enlarged, vomiting, severe pain, fever, unable to urinate
inguinal hernia treatment
manual reduction, surgery
umbilical hernia imaging
US, doppler
when is gastroschisis diagnosed
antenatal
gastroschisis prognosis
must treat surgically, but Pts do well after reduction
what is more emergent, malrotation or volvulus
volvulus
most common volvulus location
sigmoid/cecum

cause of patent omphalomesenteric duct
duct does not dissolve during fetal development
consequences of patent omphalomesenteric duct
can leared to hernia or discharge of feces or mucus out of umbilicus
