Pediatric Lecture 1 Flashcards
Preterm
Before 37 weeks, post conceptual age
Newborn
First 24 hours
Neonate
First 30 days
Infant
1 month to a year
Children
1 to 12 years
Adaptation to extrauterine life
- Gas exchange(O2 andCO2) function transferred from placenta to lungs
- SBP falls initially, then increases progressively c/age
• Subcutaneous/muscle tissue develop during_______
third trimester
Organogenesis =
first 8 wks (try not do anesthesia during that time)
• Premature =
weigh < 2,500g
- Growing:
* Birth weight doubles by________, triples by_____
6 months; 1 yr
• Post-term neonate defined as being born
42 weeks gestation
• Length doubled by what age
4 years of age
• Preterm neonate =
born before 37 weeks gestation
• Estimation: Wt (kg) =
if >8
Wt (kg) = 2 × Age (years) + 9
• > 8yr = age (yr) x 3
Neonatal Circulation
First _____
• PVR experiences Major ___ to low “adult” levels during _____days
During the 1st wk of life, PVR___________
There is_______or pulmonary vasculature
There is __________+_________
↓ Pulmonary vascular disease (PVR)
decline ; 2-3 days
• During 1st wk of life, PVR decreases further
• 2° remodeling of pulmonary vasculature
• Thinning of vascular smooth muscle
+ recruitment of new vessels
Neonatal Circulation. What are the 2 crucial events for transition
↓PVR,↑SVR (closes FO, reverses
ductus arteriosus shunt)
Cardiovascular Physiology : Resting CO is
and because of a fixed SV there is
Resting CO maxed out Fixed SV - Decreased myocardial function - Increase Number of myocytes - More mitochondria needed for growth - Less organized -Stiff Heart - Limited functional reserve
Elaborate on Immature SNS
what is it driven by?
Left ventricle is
Driven by the parasympathetic
Left ventricle is noncompliant poorly developed
During the first 3 months
Unable to respond to stress with inotropic support
Limited ability to increase CO even with limited stress
Atropine vs Glycopyrrolate
Debatable,which intervention is more effective
LV has limited contractile reserve: There is a\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ in the number of alpha receptors There is \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_of catecholamines \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_Recruitable SV Immature\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \_\_\_\_\_\_ventricular compliance
↓ # alpha receptors • ↑catecholamines • Limited recruitable SV • Immature Ca2+ transport system ↓ ventricular compliance
Which receptors are better developed_______. Therefore use to maintain BP
Beta; beta agonists
Pediatrics They are prone to \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ Unable to \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ Use caution with \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ Cardiac output is
Bradycardia
Handle pressure or volume problems
Intraoperative fluids
Rate dependent
Mean Heart rate for premature
120-170
