  • Abdominal thrusts = over 1 year old
23
Q

How should a baby that has just been delivered be resuscitated?

A
  • Warm + dry the baby
  • Place airway in neutral position
  • Assess breathing + HR (with stethoscope)
    If not breathing/ HR < 100 then…
  • 5 rescue breaths
    If HR < 60…
  • Start compressions 3:1 ratio (compression:breath) -
24
Q

How should a child be resuscitated?

A
  • Head tilt + chin lift
  • 5 rescue breaths
    Check pulse/ signs of life, if none…
  • Start CPR 15:2 (or 30:2 if alone)
25
Q

How should chest compressions be done in children?

A
  • < 1 year = 2 fingers, press down 4cm
  • > 1 year = 1 or 2 hands depending on size, press down 5 cm
26
Q

What is the makeup of most fluids given to paediatric patients?

A
  • 0.9% saline
  • 5% dextrose
    with/ or without added KCl
27
Q

How much KCl can be added per litre of fluid?

A

20-40 mol/l

28
Q

What is the makeup of most fluids given to neonates?

A

10% dextrose (with or without additives)

29
Q

What are the 3 main types of fluid given to children?

A
  • Maintenance
  • Shock/ resuscitation (haemodynamically compromised)
  • Dehydration (clinical dehydration signs)
30
Q

How is maintenance fluids calculated for children?

A

4-2-1 rule
* First 10 kg of body weight = 4 ml/kg/h
* Next 10kg body weight = 2 ml/kg/h
* Each kg over 20 kg = 1 ml/kg/h

31
Q

How is shock/ resuscitation fluids calculated in children?

A

10 ml/kg boluses initially
–> can give up to 40 ml/kg
dextrose not needed

32
Q

How is dehydration fluids calculated in children?

A

Well weight x % dehydration x 10 (essentially the weight of water needed to return the patient to their normal weight)
given over 24 hours

33
Q

How is % dehydration calculated?

A

(well weight - current weight) / (well weight) X 100
essentially the loss of weight due to water as a % of body weight

34
Q

What are the developmental motor milestones (5)?

A
  • 6 weeks = head prone
  • 6 months = sit (>9 months = limit)
  • 9 months = crawl
  • 12 months = walk (>18 months = limit)
  • 15 months = steady walk
35
Q

What are the developmental vision and fine motor milestones (4)?

A
  • 6 weeks = fix + follow with eyes (> 12 weeks = limit)
  • 4 months = reaches out for toys (> 6 months = limit)
  • 7 months = transfer between hands (>9 months = limit)
  • 10 months = mature pincer grip (>12 months = limit)
36

A
  • From birth = startles to sound noise
  • 3-4 months = “coos”
  • 7 months = indiscriminate sounds

40
Q

When are premature babies expected to reach the milestones?

A

Corrected to gestational age - so later than term babies

41
Q

When are children/ babies typically examined through their life (5)?

A
  • NIPE < 72 hours
  • 6-8 weeks check
  • Health visitor reviews
  • Vaccinations
  • School nurse checks
42
Q

What are the typical resp rate values at <1w, 3m, 2y, 10y, >10y?

A
  • < 1w = 40-60
  • 1w - 3m = 30-50
  • 3m - 2y = 30-40
  • 2 - 10y = 14-24
  • > 10y = 12-20
