pediatric Flashcards
main take away from peds population
if something bad is going to happen – it happens much quicker in children so need to respond at a good time
main thing with GA
complete or partial loss of reflexes
like have to brethe for them - inability to maintain a patent airway or respond to verbal or physical stimulus
minimal sedation
respond everything basically the same
respond NORMALLY
type given before GA
moderate sedation
response purposefully to verbal commands and maintain airway
cardio and resp adequate and maintained
when can peds patient take the oral med for minimal
once arrive at the office
deep sedation
aroused with repeated verbal or painful stimulus
partial or complete loss of protective airway
- assistance to airway may be necessary
cardio function maintained !
response = purposeful to pain airway = +/- interventon ventilation= +/- inadequate cardio = +/- maintained
narrowest part in peds airway
cricoid ring - narrowest
child talking what age
under age of 12
- when referring to anatomics
large ___ in kids ?
tracheal lenght?
large tongue and epiglottis
enlarged adenoids and tonsils
- reach max at 6-8
short neck
anterior placed airway and is funnel shaped
narrow nasal pasasges
trachea is 4-5.5 cm
- every mm of trauma = 60% decrease in size
cranial vault to airway in child
rapid cause upper airway oobstruction
breathing differnces
children - see more abdominal movement
FRC in children
5:1
reserve is small
so get hypoxemia faster - respiratory arrest faster then bradycardia then death
physiological differences in children
higher metabolic rates
- need more oxygen
greater frequency of breathing
FRC = 5:1
smaller reserve
more suceptible to hypoxemia
intermittent asthmatic patient?
mild persistent
moderate persistent
severe persistent
symptoms no more than 2 / days a week
mild = greater than 2 days
moderate = daily
severe = throughout the day have symptoms
range of age neonates infants children adolescents
0-30 days
1-12 months
1-12 years
13-18 years
Cardiac output it ___ dependent
rate dependent and by vagal parasympathetic tone predominates
cardiac output is 300-400 ml/kg min @ birth
200-300 ml /kg/ min - infants and children
blood volume in newborn
6 weeks to 2 years
2 years - puberty
85-90 ml/kg
85 ml/kg
80 ml/kg
smaller blood volume in
children
- rate dependent
so vasovagal attack is cardio
HR is higher
