Medical Conditions Influencing Management in Pediatric Anesthesia Flashcards
most frequent chromosomal aberration
trisomy 21
HEENT/AW associated characteristics for down syndrome (trisomy 21)
short neck, epicanthic folds, brush fields spots, low set ears, macroglossia, mandibular hypoplasia, narrow nasopharynx, hypertrophic lymphatic tissue (tonsils and adenoids), subglottic stenosis
CV associated characteristics for down syndrome (trisomy 21)
40-50% of them get this. AV canal defect, ASD, VSD, TOF, PDA
neuromuscular associated characteristics for down syndrome (trisomy 21)
hypotonia, ligamentous instability, dementia and parkinsonism in older adults. intellectual decline with age
ortho associated characteristics for down syndrome (trisomy 21)
lax cervical ligaments can result in Atlanto-occipital (8.5%) or atlantoaxial(7-36%) instability and dislocation
GI/GU associated characteristics for down syndrome (trisomy 21)
duodenal atresia, increased incidence of hirschprungs disease
OTHER associated characteristics for down syndrome (trisomy 21)
leukemia, obesity, thyroid disease
anesthesia for down syndrome: aw considerations
assess Atlanto axial instability. inquire about changes in gross or fine motor function or head/neck pain. care with laryngoscopy to minimize flexion and extension. assess for OS. 1/4 of these children will require a downsized ETT due to subglottic stenosis
anesthesia for down syndrome: CV considerations
increased incidence of bradycardia on induction
CHD: bacterial endocarditis prophylaxis
assess for pulmonary HTN either due to CHD or OSA
anesthesia for down syndrome: hypothyroidism considerations
when present, can result in delayed gastric emptying and altered drug metabolism
anesthesia for down syndrome: induction considerations
challenging to sedate, premedical, caregiving present for induction
mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) definition
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
MPS features/sx general
often will have striking skeletal features. may or may not have behavior or cognitive difficulties
MPS subtype 1 eponym, enzyme deficiency, treatment
hurrler
alpha L iduronidase
stem cell txp, ERT, supportive
MPS subtype 2 eponym, enzyme deficiency, treatment
hunter
iduronate sulfatase
ERT, supportive
MPS subtype 3 eponym, enzyme deficiency, treatment
sanfilippo
multiple types
supportive
MPS subtype 4 eponym, enzyme deficiency, treatment
morquio
n acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate
ERT, supportive
MPS subtype 6 eponym, enzyme deficiency, treatment
maroteaux-lamy
n-acetylgalactosamine-4-sulfatase
ERT, supportive
MPS subtype 7 eponym, enzyme deficiency, treatment
sly
beta glucoronidase
ERT, supportive
MPS 1: Hurler syndrome results from, sx, life expectancy
results in buildup of glycosaminoglycans due to a deficiency of alpha L iduronidase
sx appear during childhood and early death (usually by age 10) usually d/t organ damage, aw disease, respiratory infections or cardiac complications
Hurler syndrome associated features
hepatosplenomegaly, dawrfism, unique facial features, progressive mental decline
Hurler syndrome associated characteristics: HEENT/AW
macrocephaly, corneal opacities, hearing loss, large tongue, lips, tonsils and adenoids, copious nasal discharge, narrow trachea, OSA, short neck, high epiglottis
Hurler syndrome associated characteristics: chest
CHEST: broad chest, spine deformities, recurrent respiratory infections
Hurler syndrome associated characteristics: CV
coronary artery narrowing, ischemic heart disease, mitral valve thickening, cardiomegaly
Hurler syndrome associated characteristics: neuro
intellectual disability, hydrocephalus
Hurler syndrome associated characteristics: ortho
small stature, hypo plastic odontoid with alantoaxial subluxation
