Q

mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) definition

A

genetic lysosomal storage disease. group of metabolic disorders that have absent or malfunction enzymes to break down glycosaminoglycans or GAGs (formally called mucopolysaccharides- a long chain CHO found in cells of bone, skin, connective tissue, corneas).
over time, GAGs will collect in cells and connective tissues which results in progressive and permanent damage

SBE prophylaxis in CHD
micrognathia may make tracheal intubation difficult
laryngomalacia may prove difficult ventilation with LMA or mask airway. subglottic stenosis may require a smaller ETT, choanal atresia may cause severe respiratory distress in the newborn and precludes the use of nasal airways or nasogastric tubes

43
Q

cystic fibrosis

A

inherited autosomal recessive mutation on long arm of chromosome 9, membrane glycoprotein chloride channel that contributes to regulation of ion flux at various epithelial surfaces. results in misfolding of CFTR protein.
elevated sweat chloride concentrations viscous mucous production, lung disease, intestinal obstruction, pancreatic insufficiency, biliary cirrhosis, congenital absence of vas deferens

44
Q

CF diagnosis

A

> 80mEq/L plus clinical manifestations (cough, chronic purulent sputum, exertion dyspnea)

45
Q

CF diagnosis: neonate clinical manifestation includes

A

meconium ileus

46
Q

CF diagnosis: childhood clinical manifestation includes

A

malabsorption and malnutrition due to pancreatic insufficiency. failure of enzyme secretion, impaired GI motility, abnormal bile circulation, increased caloric demand due to severe lung disease

A

advances in gene therapy, global registry, and surgical treatments. cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators
35-40y in US and UK

53
Q

CF and PFT’s

A

obstructive, increased FRC, decreased FEV1, decreased peak expiratory flow rate, decreased VC. however, chronic lung obstruction leads to restrictive disease

Q

CF surgeries most commonly include

A

polypectomy, functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS), bronchoscopies, lung transplants

55
Q

treatment of CF

A

goal to alleviate symptoms (malnutrition, relieve aw obstruction). correct organ dysfunction (clearance of aw secretions, bronchodilators, reduce viscoelasticity of sputum, abx for infections, organ transplant, cholecystectomy, tx of pneumothorax)

56
Q

management of anesthesia in CF

A

postpone elective procedures until optimized
volatiles allow decreased AW resistances and smooth muscle tone. however, inhalation inductions are prolonged due to large FRC, small Vt, and VQ mismatch. hypoxia may develop rapidly due to VQ mismatch.
short acting anesthetics to minimize postop respiratory depression
anticholinergics controversial, optimize hydration
humidify inspired gases
frequent tracheal suctioning
may require high ventilation pressures (cuffed ETT’s)

58
Q

CP treatment

A

most children undergo elective orthopedic corrective procedures including achilles tendon lengthening, hip adductor release, scoliosis correction, etc
dental restoration
anti reflux operations (nissen)
often receive seizure and muscle spasticity meds. avoid acute withdrawal, hepatic enzyme induction, lethargy/sedation

59
Q

anesthesia in CP

A

determine patients baseline, understanding, and ability to communicate.
tracheal intubation-at risk for aspiration (GERD is extremely common;increased secretions and impaired swallowing).
volatiles safe
children on anticonvulsants may be more resistant to NDMR’s
susceptible to hypothermia
contractures may make positioning difficult
emergence may be slow
high incidence of pulmonary complications postoperatively and may require ICU
