  • Supervise children at all times
  • Be very diligent about toys or items that contain small piece
114

119
Q

Pharmacological Therapy for asthma (long-term and short-term):

A

Short Term
* Short acting beta-agonists-Albuterol (#1)
* This is your rescue inhaler for symptomatic treatment

Long Term/Preventative
* Corticosteroids (The inhaled form is the anti-inflammatory drug of choice for persistent asthma.)
* Mast cell stabilizers (anti-inflammatory drugs)
* Long-acting beta-agonists (bronchodilators often used along with an anti inflammatory drug)
* Theophylline (a bronchodilator used along with an anti-inflammatory drug to prevent nighttime symptoms)
* Leukotriene modifiers (an alternative to steroids and mast cell stabilizers)
* Xolair (an injectable asthma medication used when inhaled steroids for asthma failed to control asthma symptoms in people with moderate to severe asthma who also have allergies)

120
Q

Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia Pathophysiology & Prevention:

A
  • long term O2 use causes dependence, damages tissue, causes fibrosis
    w/ decreased compliance.

Prevention
* Keep 02 at the lowest possible concentrations in newborns

121
Q

Diagnostics for Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia:

A

CXR will show cyst formation, increased density, and hyperinflation of the lungs

122
Q

Therapeutic and Phamacological Management for Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia:

A
  • Wean newborn’s off O2 ASAP

Pharmacological:
* Bronchodilators (Albuterol)
* Anticholinergic (Ipratropium)
* Xanthine (Theophylline)
* Inhaled Glucocorticoids (Fluticasone)

123
Q

Esophageal Atresia and Tracheoesophageal Fistula
Pathophysiology:

A

The esophagus ends in a blind pouch. Sometimes body naturally creates a fistula
connecting to the trachea.

124
Q

125
Q

Diagnostic Testing for Esophageal Atresia and
Tracheoesophageal Fistula:

A
  • Prenatal sonogram
  • CXR
126
Q

Therapeutic Management for Esophageal Atresia and
Tracheoesophageal Fistula:

A
  • Maintain patent airway
  • NPO immediately, high aspiration risk
  • Positioning
    *No NG tube
  • Surgical correction
    Obtain consent
