Q

What are the main differences between fetal and adult hemoglobin?

A

fetal hemoglobin (2 alpha and 2 gamma) has higher affinity for O2 than adult Hg (this is why the baby steals all the O2) , the curve is shifted to the left - fetal hemoglobin is saturated with lots of O2, but harder to unload O2 to the tissue, but in the placenta, easier to unload the O2

Q

when does the body start to make more adult Hg?

A

in the third trimester , body begins to decrease making fetal Hg and makes more adult (usually full adult by 3-6 months of life as per baby nelson) and at this point have adult Hg O2 dissociation curves

Q

What are the effects of fever, acidosis, high PCO2 and 2,3 diphosphoglycerate on the Hg dissociation curve?

A

shifts the O2 dissociation curve to the right
because this means the body can unload O2 to the tissues more easily
and in these stressed states the tissues need more O2

Q

difference between central facial nerve injury, peripheral facial nerve injury (i.e. from compression ) and from absence of depressor anguli

A
  1. central facial nerve - forehead NOT involved, lower 2/3 involved
  2. facial nerve peripheral - whole face (including forehead, eye, nasolabial fold, mouth etc)
    3) depressor anguli - nasolabial fold and upwards should all be normal, just the mouth moves funny, can be associated with cardiac (double check this)

Q

Type of neonatal hypocalcemia

A
  1. early : within first 3 days of life, often no symptoms; Groups affected (special ones, all babies do have a transient decrease 24-48 hours or so)
    a) . prems
    b). IDMa - from transient hypoparathyroidism and reduced parathyroid response (for prems and IDMs)
    (early in prem and IDM often resolves on its own)
    c) DiGeorge (absence of parathyroid
    **can also get hypoMg - risk in IDM especially
    d) associated with asphyxia
  2. late :
    a) from drinking high phosphate milk, or inability to excrete phosphate ; usually will get hyperphosphatemia after first week of life in these infants
    b) vitamin D deficiency states and malabsorption

**all infants have decrease in Ca at 24-48 hours or so

28
Q

Clinical features of hypocalcemia

A

apnea, muscle twitching, seizures, laryngospasm
Chvostek sign - facial muscle spasm when 7th nerve tapped
Trousseau sign -
(no usually in newborn)
To prevent in high risk - gee Ca

29
Q

symptomatic hypocalcemia, treatment

A

2-4 ml/kg 10% calcium gluconate
also give mg if both

for late hypoCa, same as above, but should also do low phosphate feedings
subcutaneous infiltration of IV calcium can cause tissue necrosis
oral can irritate the intestinal mucosa

30

**often methadone withdrawal is worse

33
Q

Treatment of withdrawing baby

A 
start with swaddling, no light
if significant (i.e. constant hyperactive, irritability doesn't allow sleeping and feeding, or when diarrhea/seizures present, treatment with meds
1. seizures - treat with phenobarb
2. other symptoms - with opiod 
weaning can take 1-2 months
34
Q

A 
preterm labor
placental abruption
decreased attentiveness

oliguria

39
Q

how much blood do babies have?

A

70-90 ml/kg for term

90-100ml/kg for preterm

40
Q

Delayed cord clamping advantages and disadvantages?

A
  1. can increase blood volume transiently for first few days, improves glomerular filtration
  2. disadvantage: can increase jaundice
    early: can lead to anemia, murmur, poor perfusion, less tachypneas

**should hold the baby below the placenta (otherwise the baby will give too much blood back to the placenta)

41
Q

Causes of anemia in the newborn period

A
  1. decreased production (low retics 0-2%)
    Ddx: bone marrow failure (Diamond-Blackfan anemia), infection (congenital viral infections, i.e. parvo/rubella, sepsis), nutritional deficiencies (protein, iron, folate, vitamin B12), congenital leukemia
  2. increased Destruction of RBC (normal or elevated retics (>5-10%)
    Immune mediated: (Coombs positive)
    - hemolytic disease of the newborn (anemia and hyperbili mainly) ABO incompatibility (less severe than Rh disease, doesn’t get worse in subsequent pregnancies )
    - Erythroblastosis fetalis (Rh incompatibility)
    make anti-D antibody (which is the antibody which is most likely to be present)
    Non Immune mediated (Coombs negative)
  3. RBC enzyme deficiencies - ie pyruvate kinase or G6PD
  4. RBC membrane disorders - ie hereditary spherocytosis (autosomal recessive is severe, less severe autosomal dominant form)
  5. hemoglobinopathies - ie thalassemias
    **see chart pg 217
42
Q

Clinical manifestations of erythroblastosis fettles

A

anemia, hyperbili in first pregnancy, then worse because will start hemolysing in utero
fetal anemia, heart failure, portal vein obstruction, hypoalbuminemia- i.e. fetal hydrous - ascites, pleural and pericardial effusions, anasarca

43
Q

How to tell difference between acute and chronic blood loss at birth

A
  1. Acute blood loss - after fetal maternal hemorrhage, rupture of the umbilical cord, placenta pre via or internal hemorrhage
    - pallor, diminished peripheral pulses, shock
    - no signs of extra medullary hematopoesis, no HSM
    - ininitial Hg can be normal but then decline over 24 hours
  2. Chronic blood loss: i.e. chronic fetal-maternal hemorrhage, twin twin transfusion: marked pallor, heart failure, HSM with or without hydrous, a low hemoglobin level at birth
    fetal-maternal bleedin is very common - 50-75% , blood losses range from 1-50 ml
44
Q

What is the Kleihauer-Betke acid test

A

look at the mom’s blood smear - will see fetal pink pRBCs and counted (because fetal Hg is resistant to acid and adult hemoglobin is eluted)
false positive Kleihauer Betke: sickle cell or hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin
false negative - ABO incompatibility (since all will be negative)

45
Q

What is Crigler-Najjar syndrome

A

serius, rare autosomal REcessive, permanent deficiency of glucoronosyltransferase that results in severe indirect hyperbilirubinemia
Type 2 - responds to phenobarbital (so randome)
Type 1 - persistent indirect hyperbili - can lead to kernicterus

46
Q

What is Gilbert disease

A

mutation of glucoronosyltransferase and results in a mild indirect hyperbilirubinemia

47
Q

How high is the bill in typically breast milk jaundice

A

shouldn’t be more than 20 mg/dL (which equals 20 x 17 = 340) I think
interupt fo 1-2 days will result in rapid decline

48
Q

At what levels of bill is jaundice observed?

A

5-10 mg/dL

49
Q

Work up to do for direct (conjugated hyperbili)

A 
conjugated hyperbili is >20% of total bill

    Resp distress PPHN
    NEC, hypoglycemia, thrombocytopenia, pripism, testicular infarction, stroke, feeding intolerance
55
Q

Long term sequelae of polycythemia

A

neurodevelopment abnomalities

partial exchange transfusion how to calculate the volume:

56
Q

how to calculate amount of blood for partial exchange transfusion pg 222 nelson baby

A

volume to exchange (mL) =
[blood volume x (observed hematocrit - desired hematocrit)/ observed hematocrit
desired hematocrit is 50%, blood volume is 85 ml/kg
pg 222 baby nelson
need to use central venous hematocrit (peripheral might be falsely elevated)

57
Q

eye discharge at day 1 of life, initially clear then purulent, also have chemises and hyperaemia, more likely gonorrhoea or chlamydia

A

gonorrhea
gonorrhea presents in first 5 days of life, chlamydia is ted 5-14 days of life
chlaydia can last 1-2 weeks
gonorhea auses your eye to perforate and go blind

58
Q

staccato cough, which infection

A

chlamydia pneumonia
CXR - hyperinflation with diffuse infiltrates
prophylaxis does not treat the chlamydia
when you have pneumonia +/- pneumonia with chlamyda, need to treat systemically with erythromycin

59
Q

drugs which can impair vitamin K metabolism

A

warfarin, antibiotic

60
Q

baby with late hemorrhagic disease of newborn, things to think of

A

breastfed
also might have vitamin K problems
ie CF, biliary atreisia, hepatitis, antibiotic suppression of colonic bacteria that make vitamin K

61
Q

Treatment of bleeding from vitamin K deficiency

A

IV 1mg vitamin K

if severe, also can do FFP

62
Q

Differential of bleeding in the newborn

A
  1. sick newborn: DIC< hepatic failure, thrombocytopenia (including consumption i.e. Kasabach-Merritt)
  2. Well child: hemophilia (cutaneous or mucosa bleeding and no systemic illness) , thrombocytopenia from syndromes (i.e. Fanconi anemia with no thumbs, radial aplasia-thrombocytopenia syndrome (thumbs present0 or Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome , maternal drugs can reduce platelet count (i.e. sulfonamids, quinidin, quinine, thiazide)
    most common thrombocytopenia; isoimmune thrombocytopenia (mom has anti platelet but her platelets are find) treat with transfusion and/or IVIG , sometimes need to do C/S
    and transient neonatal thrombocytopenia
    neonatal thrombocytopenia in babies of mom’s with ITP
63
Q

Lab findings in baby with DIC

A

prolonged PTT and PT (minutes rather than seconds ), thrombocytopenia and bood smear suggesting MAHA (burr or fragmented blood cells)
low fibrinogen
elevated levels of fibrin degradation products

64
Q

labs in vitamin K deficiecy

A

PT most prolonged - X, VII, V, II, I
