Q

2MCC of resp distress in TERM infants

A

Meconium aspiration

Persistent pulmonary htn of newbown

24
Q

When does surfactant reach appropriate levels for life

A

30 weeks gestation

25
Q

2 things to look for in amniotic fluid to determine lu;ng maturity

A

Lecithin:Sphingo ratio >2

Presence of phosphatitylglycerol

26
Q

4 risk factors for RDS

A

Prematuirty
Maternal diabetes
Csection
Neonatal asphyxia

27
Q

Dx and characteristic findings of RDS

A

CXR –> diffuse ground glass opacities and air bronchograms

28
Q

Tx for RDS

A

O2 –> CPAP

29
Q

2 major acute complications of RDS

A

PTX

Interventricular hemorrhage

30
Q

2 common chronic complications of RDS

A
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (if on vent)
Retinopathy of prematuirty
31
Q

PPHN definition

A

anything BESIDES heart disease that causes decreased blood flow to the lungs

32
Q

2MCC of PPHN

A

Meconium aspiration and Perinatal asphyxia

33
Q

Characteristic blood gas of PPHN

A

Pre and post ductal PaO2 are extremely different

because increased lung pressure results in R–>L shunt through PFO or PDA

34
Q

2 tests to evaluate PPHN

A

CXR –> decreased lung markings

Echo

35
Q

Cornerstone of tx for PPHN

A

OXYGEN!! because hypoxemia is a vasoconstrictor in the lung, you give O2 to vasodilate

f/u with ventilation if o2 is insufficient

36
Q

2 times when MAS is most common

A
after 42 weeks gestatino
Fetal distress (they poop sometimes)
37
Q

CXR findings of MAS

A

Increased lung volume with diffuse areas of atelectasis and parenchymal infiltrates

38
Q

Management of MAS

A

Suction airway of baby, and perineum of mom

O2 + vent if needed

39
Q

2 definitions of apnea of prematurity

A

1- apnea x15-20seconds

2- any apnic episode accompanied by bradycardia or cyanosis

40
Q

Central vs secondary apena

A

Central - no chest wall movement
Secondary- chest wall moves, but no airflow –> apnea monitors wont pick this up!! because it only looks for chest motions

41
Q

Workup guidelines for apnea of prematurity

A

Seek underlying cause (infection, lung dz, hyperthermia). if nothing is found, then consider idiopathic apnea of premaurity

42
Q

Idiopathic apnea of prematurity (IAP) course

A

Presents in first week of life, then resolves after several more weeks or months

43
Q

IAP management (non med vs medical)

A

Airway support

-Respiratory simulants! Caffeine or theophylline)

44
Q

When does jaundice lvl peak in term vs preemie

A
Term= 3-4 days
Premie= 5-7 days
45
Q

3 critera for evaluating hyperbili in a newborn

A

1- hyperbili present in first 24h
2- bili rises >6 in a 24h period
3- rate of rice exceeds 0.5/h

46
Q

2 steps in Workup for indirect hyperbili

A

Coombs

CBC + Retic and smear

47
Q

Frist step in workup of conjugated hyperbili (then 2 other steps)

A

Hepatic ultrasound (for cysts)
HIDA + phenobarb (for biliary atresia)
Viral serologies for hepatitis

48
Q

When to use exchange transfusion for bilirubin

A

Rapidly rising, especially in the setting of hemolytic diseaes

49
Q

Management of diaphragmatic hernia

A

Intubation. NOT a bag mask, as this will further compress the lungs

50
Q

Which abdominal wall defect is associated with other congenital abonormalities

A

Omphalocele (heart dz, Beckwith wiedmann)

OmphaloCELE is CENtral and associated with CYNDromes

51
Q

Dx test and finigs for meconium ileus

A

Abdominal xray –> intestinal distention WITHOUT air fluid levels. Soap bubble appearance to the meconium plug

52
Q

3 features seen in babies of diabetic mothers

A

1- macrosomia (due to increased fat storage and hepatomegaly)
2-increase skeleton length, small head
3-Plethoric

53
Q

Failure to pass meconium in infant of diabeti cmother

A

Small left colon syndrome –> abdominal distention, FTPM

54
Q

Clinical features of polycythemia

A

Plethoric, cyanotic, poor feeding, jittery, acidosis

55
Q

Tx of polycythemia

A

Partial exchange transufsion
