OAT Peds Flashcards
red flags on history and exam
neck pain and fever
hip pain in obese child
HVLA is
rarely necessary in young children
relatively contraindicated in hypermobile joints
Very useful OMT
Articulatory, myofascial, FPR, lymphatic, BLT, and cranial
Common Infant Complaints
Colic GERD Constipation Torticollis Otitis media URI Croup Brachial plexus injury Cerebral Palsy club foot
Cardinal movements of labor
flexion
IR
Extension
ER
Foramen affected by labor
Juglar foramen - CNs IX, X, XI, inferior pertosal and sigmoid sinuses
Hypoglossal canal
CN IX
PSNS - parotid gland
motor - Ambiguus N.
somatosensory - Spinal Trigeminal N.
CN X
PSNS - vagal n.
Motor - ambiguus N.
Somatosensory - spinal trigeminal N.
CN XI
Spinal accessory
innervates the trapezius and sternocleidomastoid
CN XII
hypoglossal
innervates intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the tongue
Compress of jugular foramen may cause dysfunction of
tongue motion (poor suck)- IX and XII Intestinal peristalsis (constipation, GERD, colic) - X SCM/Trapezius motion (torticollis)- XI
Infant spine
C-spine has slight lordosis which increases a baby can support head
thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis have yet to develop
Anterior fontanelle closes at
12 - 36m
Posterior fontanelle closes at
2-3 m
sphenoid fontanelle closes at
6 m
mastoid fontanelle closes at
6-18 m
most common SD in infants
occiput
SD in infants that affects the most cranial ns
temporal
in infants, a internally rotated temporal bone increased likelihood of
otits media
operative vaginal delivery can cause
CN VI - lateral rectus palsy
CN VII - facial palsy
reason otitis media is more common in chidlren
eustachian tube flatter in infants
what needs to be ruled out or considered before OMM
craniosynostosis
Synostotic trigoncephaly
metopic suture fusion
synostotic scaphocephaly
sagittal suture fusion
synostotic brachycephaly
bicoronal suture fusion
synostotic posterior plagiocephaly
unilateral lambdoid suture fusion
