ITE block 7 Flashcards
Why do infants tolerate dehydration better than adults?
Greater total body water to body weight ratio
infants 70% and adults 60%
-10% fluid deficit would be severe dehydration in adults, mod in infants
Best way to assess dehydration in infants
weight!
the tachycardia, skin turgor, cap refill can change due to other factors
Signs of mild dehydration
Weight loss 5%
fluid deficit 50 cc/kg
normal skin turgor
flat anterior fontanelle
normal eyes
Urine <2 cc/kg/hr
urine specific gravity < 1.02
infant moderate dehydration
weight loss 10%
fluid deficit 100 cc/kg
decreased skin turgor
sunken anterior fontanelle
sunken eyes
dry mucous membranes
<1 cc/kg/hr urine
urine specific gravy 1.02-1.03
infant severe dehydratio
weight loss 15%
fluid deficit 150 cc/kg
greatly decreased skin turgor
markedly sunken anterior fontanelle
very dry mucous membranes
UOP <0.5 cc/kg/hr
urine specific gravy >1.030
Burn resuscitation
4 cc x %TBSA x kg
1st half given in first 8 hours
2nd half given in next 16 hours
Fluid rehydratio in severe dehydration in infants
emergency phase: 20-30 cc/kg isotonic fluid bolus
phase I: first 6-8 hrs: 25-50 cc/kg
phase 2: next 24 hours: remainder of deficit
ABA physical requirements to practice
no age or physical requirements
-if disability and safe workaround it’s okay
-on a case by case basis determined by practitioner and their employer if can be done safely
When to use blood cyanide levels
only as a confirmatory diagnostic
-not helpful acutely due to time it takes to process -> use co-oximetry, ABG/VBG, lactic acidosis, hx of Na nitroprusside use to dx and treat
Tx for cyanide toxicity
hydroxocobalamin
sodium thiosulfate
-b/c it causes inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation
Symp of cyanide toxicity
HA, confusion, dizziness, sz -> coma
HTN and tachycardia -> hypoTN, arrhythmia, AV block
flushing, cherry red appearence
abd pain, N/V
tachypnea -> bradypnea
pulm edema
cyanosis
renal failure
hepatic necrosis
rhabdo
Decelerations in Fetal heart tracing
HR decrease >15 bpm for max of 3 minutes
Variable decelerations when cat II v III?
if >15 bpm for < 3 minutes, for <50% of the contractions category II
if >50% of contractions -> category III -> intrauterine resuscitation -> L lateral position, IVF, maternal O2, or poss intra-amniotic infusion
Types of deceleration
VEAL CHOP
Variable: Cord compression
Early: Head compression
Accelerations: Okay
Late: Placental insuff
Prolonged decelerations
decelerations lasting 2-10 minutes -> severe uteroplacental insuff or umbilical cord compression
Achondroplasia considerations
-short stature
-foramen magnum stenosis -> likely to get brainstem compression dep on position
-avoid inc ICP (likely to have hydrocephalus + foramen magnum stenosis)
-choanal stenosis
-central apnea and OSA -> can lead to pulm HTN
-macroglossia, high arched palate
-spinal stenosis
-macrocephaly
Post ROSC what is the next step
12 lead EKG
-need baseline if doing hypothermia
-need baseline if going to do PCI
Gold standard for dx of MH
halothane and caffeine muscle contracture test
hypothermia causes intraop
Decreased wound healing
Increased myocardial O2 consumption (shivering)
clotting issues
inc infectio
risk of arrhythmia or ischemia
Why hypothermia post neuraxial
Impaired detection of cold
Vasodilation
Decreased threshold for shivering and vasoconstriction (lower temp required to initiate)
worse w/ higher dermatome
GA v GA and neuraxial hypothermia
GA + neuraxial -> worse hypothermia than GA alone
-Get redistribution from both, and lowering vasoconstriction
-Worse central recognition of hypothermia w/ both
Cirrhosis hemodynamic changes
portal HTN -> inc endogenous vasodilators (nitric oxide) -> sensed as volume depleted by kidneys -> inc renin and sodium retention
-vasodilation -> dec SVR -> dec afterload -> inc cardiac output -> inc mixed venous
-inc collaterals produced to avoid portal HTN -> AV collaterals bypass capillary beds -> inc mixed venous
-hyperdynamic cardiac (inc CO and dec SVR)
-inc blood shunted to intestinal system -> inc vasoactive intestinal peptide
Platypnea
hypoxia and dyspnea while sitting up, improved while laying flat
-due to inc shunting of blood through lungs
-assoc w/ hepatopulm syndrome
thromboangiitis obliterans
small blood vessels become inflamed and swollen -> blood vessels narrow and get blocked
-fingers/toes pale, red, blue, and cold w/ sudden severe pain
When to use a sympathetic block
Neuropathic pain (CRPS, DM, herpes zoster)
Visceral pain (cancer pain -> celiac block)
Vaso-occlusive dx -> helps relieve pain and improves circulation (CP from chronic angina, Raynauds, vasospasm, thromboangiitis obliterans)
Where are sympathetic NS cell bodies located?
T1-L2 in lateral horn
Stellate ganglion
C6-7
block used for pain in upper extremity/thorax
complications: Horner syndrome, tracheo/esophageal injury, PTX, RCLN injury
Celiac plexus
located by aorta and IVC at L1
used to block for abd cancers, usually posterior approach below 12th rib
complications: retroperitoneal hematoma, bleeding, chylothorax, PTX
Lumbar sympathetic chain
Anterior to L1-5
posterior approach
tx: neuropathic pain in lower limbs, phantom pain, visceral pain involving intestinal/urinary
compl: genitofemoral n injury, bleeding
ABG for pregnant woman
Ventilation changes occur w/i 1st 12 weeks -> 40% inc MV by 12 weeks
resp alk -> incompletely compensated w/ metabolic acidosis
pH 7.44/ PaCO2 30/ PaO2 105/ HCO3 21
O2 initially inc during 1st and 2nd trimester, by 3rd inc O2 counteracted by the inc O2 demand from fetus
Respiratory quotient
Amount of CO2 per unit O2 consumed to a specific energy substrate
0.8: mix of carbs and proteins
0.7: lipids
0.8: protein
1: Carbs
if pt having trouble weaning off vent -> give more lipids, lower CO2 production
Rapid shallow breathing index
RSBI = RR/ TV
<105: successful weaning predicted
>105: failure predicted
In ICU RSBI > 105, TPN due to ileus
how to improve chances of vent weaning?
Inc lipid concentration in TPN -> less CO2 produced than if more carbs or protein -> easier to wean b/c less inc in RR encouraged
Rf for metformin lactic acidosis
contrast dye
renal impairment
hepatic impairment
65 or older
hypoxic or volume-depleted
excessive alcohol**
tx: supportive, HD

Pulmonary compliance equation
inverse of elastance
complication = Change in volume/ change in pleural pressure
2 most common causes for delay in ambulatory surgery center
pain
PONV
Best way to wean pt off vent if failed initial SBT
Daily SBTs w/ pressure support assistance (pressure support augmentation w/ pt initiation)
-progressive dec in pressure support
10 month old for uro procedure long face, high prominent forehead, wide nose, low-set ears, high arched clef palate, micrognathia, deep palmar creases, developmentl delay, systolic murmur? chromosomal abnormality?
Trisomy 8 w/ mosaicism
-may have renal issues, assoc w/ AML and MDS,
prenatal corpus callosum agenesis and ventriculomegaly are suggestive
-if you survive beyond first few weeks of life, likely have mosaicism
A few day old baby, microcephay, microphthalmia (small eyes), cleft lip, cardiac def, hypoplastic or absent riibs, polydactyly
Patau syndrome (mean surival 7 days)
Trisomy 13
**holoprosencephaly, cleft lip, absent ribs, polydactylyl)
-if you survive beyond first few weeks of life, likely have mosaicism
