Q

Neuro/HEENT differences

A

two fontanels - anterior, posterior –> greater compensation for ICP, risk of brain injury
blood brain barrier not fully developed –> increased r/o infection
large tongue - r/o obstruction
narrow, funnel shaped airway w/ narrow cricoid cartilage –> greater r/o airway obstruction, difficult intubation
large head w/ weak neck muscles –> fall injury, neck muscle injury
large occipital bone –> greater r/o upper cervical injury. different place required for CPR (thoracic thrust)
blurry vision but hearing well-developed
neck muscles/excess lymphoid tissue –> block airway
higher pain threshold than adults

Q

Respiratory differences

A

obligate nose breathers until 6 months
smaller airways/lower tidal volume –> less ability to compensate. greater r/o aspiration/obstruction
higher O2 requirements d/t higher BMR
diaphragm = major breathing muscle –> abdominal breathers
shorter trachea –> greater r/o displacement
horizontal rib placement –> lower tidal volume as rib cage moves up/down rather than up/out
carilaginous airway –> more likely to collapse (hyaline cartilage = greater water content)
thin chest wall –> difficulty auscultating. greater r/o internal injury

Q

Cardiovascular differences

A

greater circulating blood volume (90 mL/kg)–> higher sensitivity to small fluid losses
lack of contractile tissue –> inability to increase stroke volume. increase CO by increasing HR
greater % body weight is water (80%)
bradycardia when hypoxic
hypotension - LATE sign of decompensation
smaller vasculature –> more difficult vein access. may use bones
superficial blood vessels –> peripheral shunting = mottled appearance

Q

Q

GI differences

A

smaller stomachs, greater gastric emptying –> more stools, dehydrate faster
small intestine longer than adults –> less able to absorb amino acids & hold onto fluids
liver/spleen larger than adults –> greater r/o injury
small glycogen storage = r/o hypoglycemia –> increased r/o brain injury
upper/lower esophageal sphincters not fully developed –> r/o reflux, vomit
tight junctions b/w cells in brush border not fully developed –> increased r/o infection
thin, weak abdominal wall –> greater r/o internal injury

Q

Can vital signs of infants be irregular?

A

Yes this is normal. However, apnea >15 seconds is abnormal. Unexplained tachycardia should always be investigated (early sign of cardiac issues)
