NB Medicine Flashcards
These are small white papules on an erythematous base usually appearing 1-3 days after birth and contains eosinophils.
Erythema Toxicum
These are lesions seen mostly on black neonates, these contains neutrophils.
Pustular Melanosis
True or false:
Breathing of NB of infants are entirely diaphragmatic.
True
True or false:
Breathing of NB of infants are entirely diaphragmatic.
True
Heat energy is lost to the cooler surrounding air.
Convection
Heat is lost to the colder materials touching the infant.
Conduction
Heat loss of the infant to other near cooler objects.
Heat Radiation
Heat loss thru skin and the lungs.
Evaporation
There is a 5g/dL hemoglobin and 20% body weight differences.
Fetal Transfusion Syndrome
This is associated with decreased insulin production or insulin action at the receptor level
IUGR
It is a complex interaction between the development of the cerebral vasculature and the regulation of cerebral blood flow, disturbances in the oligodendrocyte precursors required for myelination and maternal/fetal infection and/or inflammation.
Periventricular Leukomalacia
It is a complex interaction between the development of the cerebral vasculature and the regulation of cerebral blood flow, disturbances in the oligodendrocyte precursors required for myelination and maternal/fetal infection and/or inflammation.
Periventricular Leukomalacia
Surfactant is present in fetal lung by which age of gestation?
20 Weeks AOG
Surfactant appears in amniotic fluid in which time of gestation?
28 and 32 Weeks AOG
Mature level of surfactant are presenr at which time?
After 35 Weeks AOG
Caused by decreased lung compliance, small tidal volumes, increased physiologic dead space and insufficient alveolar ventilation.
Hypercapnia
Classic BPD:
Acute Lung Injury
Exudative Bronchiolitis
Proliferative Bronchiolitis
Obliterative Fibroproliferative Bronchiolitis
It is believed to be secondary to slow absorption of fetal lung fluid resulting in decreased pulmonary compliance and tidal volume and increased dead space.
Transient Tachypnea of the Newborn
In CXR of NB with respiratory distress, there are patchy infiltrates, coarse streaking of both lung fields, increased AP diameter, and flattening of the diaphragm
Meconium Aspiration
This congenital diaphragmatic hernia refers to a posterolateral defect of the diaphragm.
Bochdalek
This is caused by failure of the sternal and crural portions of the diaphragm to meet and fuse, usually an anteromedial diaphragmatic defect.
Morgagni Hernia
Triad: Interstitial ischemia, enteral nutrition and bacterial translocation
Neonatal Necrotizing Enterocolitis
Most common life-threatening emergency of the GIT of the NB period.
NEC
The greatest risk factor for NEC
Prematurity
