A

more severe than occulta, and includes meningocele and myelomeningocele

112
Q

Meningocele (mengi is not serious) - does not go where?

A

less severe, spinal cord does not go into dural sac. can range from no symptoms to complete paralysis.

113
Q

myelomeningocele - and what other issue do these patients have?

A

more severe, also involves CNS. patients usually have hydrocephalus also.

114
Q

myelomeningocele - lay in what position?

A

prone or side-lying

115
Q

disorder where infant can’t stop crying (choann, stop crying)

A

Choanal Atresia - they can’t breathe - tongues goes up to palate

116
Q

EA (esophageal atresia) (esop atresia can’t communicate)

A

congenitally interrupted esophagus in which the proximal and distal ends do not communicate

117
Q

TEF (Te can’t communicate) - and what happens to the lungs?

A

abnormal communication between the trachea and esophagus. Fluid may flow directly into lungs***

118
Q

what is the first sign of EA (esophageal atresia)?

A

hydraminos (the fetus can’t swallow amniotic fluid)

119
Q

Gastroschisis differs from omphalocele in that

A

there is no peritoneal sac protecting the herniated organs, and thus exposure to amniotic fluid makes them thickened, edematous, and inflamed

120
Q

Gastroschisis and omphalocele - main concern (the hole is the concern)

A

hypothermia

121
Q

newborn stomach capacity

A

30 - 90 mL

122
Q

ductus veinous

A

left umbilical vein to the inferior vena cava

123
Q

where is the ductus arterious?

A

between the the aorta and the pulmonary artery

124
Q

normal newborn bp

A

64/41

125
Q

normal newborn temp

A

36.6 - 37.6 (97.9°F to 99.7)

126
Q

cold stress

A

excessive heat loss that requires a newborn to use compensatory mechanisms (such as nonshivering thermogenesis and tachypnea) to maintain core body temperature

127
Q

3 types of jaundice

A

Bilirubin overproduction, such as from blood incompatibility (Rh or ABO), drugs, trauma at birth, polycythemia, delayed cord clamping, and breast milk jaundice
Decreased bilirubin conjugation, as seen in physiologic jaundice, hypothyroidism, and breast-feeding
Impaired bilirubin excretion, as seen in biliary obstruction (biliary atresia, gallstones, neoplasm), sepsis, hepatitis, chromosomal abnormality (Turner syndrome, trisomies 18 annd 21), and drugs (aspirin, acetaminophen, sulfa, alcohol, steroids, antibiotics)

128
Q

newborns need how many calories a day?

A

108/kg

129
Q

hypothermia leads to

A

hypoglycemia

130
Q

if glucose is less than 25 in first hour and baby is asymptomatic

A

feed and recheck in 1 hour`

131
Q

1st glucose check

A

30 min after first feed

132
Q

low glucose - symptomatic and below 40

A

iv glucose

133
Q

possible signs of hypoglycemia - what reflex?

A

Jitteriness
Irritability
Exaggerated Moro reflex
High Pitched Cry
Poor feeding
Excessive sleepiness and drowsiness

134
Q

acidosis causes what?

A

jaundice

135
Q

low apgar score - at risk for what?

A

jaundice

136
Q

Septal Wall Defect - may have trouble with what?

A

feedings

137
Q

Defects of the Great Vessels - aorta is hooked to

A

right ventricle, and pulmonary artery from the left

138
Q

occulta has

A

tuft of hair

139
Q

Omphalocele & Gastroschisis - main concern?

A

temp regulation (what should be inside is now exposed to outside air)
