Q

why is there physiologic anemia in neonates

A
  1. Decrease erythropoietic activity
  2. Decrease RBC survival time (70 days
    in neonate compared to 120 days in

Q

HR should not be less than (x) and in infant

normal sinus rhythm is up to (y)

A

HR should not be <100/min and in infant
normal sinus rhythm is up to 200/min (range
100-170/min)

24
Q

what is range for neonates HR

A

range 100-170/min

25
Q

what is considered cardiac arrest in pedia

A

HR of <85/min in neonate and 60/min is

considered CARDIAC ARREST

26
Q

what is HALLMARK OF HYPOVOLEMIA

A

HYPOTENSION

WITHOUT TACHYCARDIA

27
Q

Greater heart loss in pedia is attributed to

A

. Thin skin
. Low fat content
. Higher surface relative to weight

28
Q

Major mechanism of heat production in pedia

A

. Non-shivering thermogenesis by metabolism of brown fat

. Shunting of hepatic, oxidative prosphorylation to the thermogenic proton leak.

29
Q

hypothermia in pedia predisposes to

A

. metabolic acidosis
. increase oxygen uptake
. right to left shunting
. respiratory depression and hypoventilation
. depressed conscious state and delay awakening or emergences from anesthesia
. dysrhythmia and cardiac depression

30
Q

main goals of preop evaluation in pedia

A

.To establish whether a child is fir or unfit for surgery
. To look for presence of any disease or to further evaluate for any congenital anomaly
which could affect the cause of anesthesia
. To decide which anesthetic regimen is optimal for the child
. To establish a good rapport with the child and allay any anxiety

31

Q

Inhalational Anesthesia may be difficult in neonate due to

the ff:
