nah, postopone

(((((unless this is his baseline after all the meds in the world))))

reactive airway

o2 dependence

N2O - chronic air trapping

46
Q

*avoid hyperventilation almost always* but why especially in BPD pts

they’re chronically hypercarbic

they’re basically babies with COPD

47
Q

why might BPD babies need a smaller ETT?

A

may have subglottic stenosis, often undiagnosed

48
Q

if a kid shows up for a T&A and has a murmur that hasn’t been evaluated, what should you do?

what about if the pediatrician has evaluated and determined it to be innocent?

delay (elective) procedures until after CV consult

Q

what is the only certain way to r/o a structural defect assoc. with a murmur

A

ECHO

  • hx multiple surgeries
  • tropical fruit allergies
51
Q

what is the most common cause of intraop anaphylaxis in peds?

A

false

53
Q

best prevention for anaphylactic reaction from latex allergy

A

latex free environment

54
Q

considerations for drawing up meds in pts with latex allergies

A

some meds have latex in the vial - single vial puncture is safest

55
Q

fun fact: apparently in Alabama, biologic dad can’t consent for the baby if he isn’t married to mom

A

seems a little effed up to me

if the procedure is longer than ___ minutes, preop versed doesn’t affect recovery or discharge times

A

10 minutes

59
Q

dose of ketamine as a premed

how long before amnesia and analgesia seen

A

3-5 mg/kg IM

amnesia/analgesia in 5 minutes

60
Q

what meds should be given after preop ketamine to prevent:

  • nightmares
  • secretions
A

nightmares - versed

secretions - anticholinergic

61
Q

minimal dose of atropine

A

0.1 mg/kg (except preemies)

62
Q

tylenol dose

A

10-20 mg/kg PO

63
Q

precordial stethoscope placement

A

4-5th ICS

L sternal border

64
Q

steps for inhalation induction

A
  • pop-off open
  • high flows (8-10 L/min) via mask
  • 100% O2 (or N2O and > 30% O2)
  • begin with sevo at 2%, increase gradually (every 3-4 breaths) to 8%
65
Q

how long is high sevo (8%) with spontaneous ventilation maintained for inhalation induction?

A

until IV access obtained

66
Q

respiratory interventions for inhalation induction as pt gets deeper

A

PEEP and/or oral airway for upper airway obstruction

67
Q

how many people are required to be in the OR for an inhalation induction?

A

2

at least 1 anesthesia provider

68
Q

T/F - intubating a pediatric patient requires NMBs

A

false - vocal cords have to be relaxed but can be done with volatiles, propofol, narcotics

69
Q

propofol dosage healthy children can tolerate

A

4-5 mg/kg

70
Q

negative effects of increasing the sevo concentration too rapidly during inhalation induction

A
  • irritates airway, causes coughing
  • hemodynamic effects
71
Q

negative effects of increasing sevo too slowly during inhalation induction

A
  • prolonged induction, including excitation period
  • increased risk of airway obstruction, laryngospasm, vomiting
72
Q

why is inhalation induction considered higher risk than IV induction?

A

drags through stage 2 vs. IV induction, which quickly goes grom stage 1 to 3

higher risk for laryngospasm

73
Q

*during inhalation induction, keep them spontaneously breathing until the IV is placed*

A

:)

74
Q

*during inhalation induction, keep them spontaneously breathing until the IV is placed*

A

:)

75
Q

interventions with vital sign deterioration during inhalation induction

A

decrease or D/C anesthetic concentration

100% O2

treat bradycardia STAT

76
Q

how to treat bradycardia in a bebe with and without an IV

A

atropine

if no IV: IM atropine, dilute epi via ETT

77
Q

how to manage airway obstruction during inhalation induction

A
  • tight mask fit and seal
  • jaw thrust, oral/nasal airway
  • slightly close pop-off to generate 5-10 cm PEEP
  • after IV: positive pressure, lidocaine, propofol, succs, etc.
78
Q

what is modified single breath induction?

A

inhale and fully hold, exhale and fully hold, apply mask with max concentration (8% sevo), take a deep breath and hold, then breathe normally

79
Q

what is required for modified single-breath induction to work?

A
  • child’s cooperation
  • coach and practice before induction
  • circuit priming (high flow/8% sevo)
80
Q

which is faster - traditionl inhalation induction or modifed single-breath technique?

A

modifed single breath 3x faster than traditional inhalation induction

81
Q

common induction technique for MH susceptible or RSI kids

A

use 50% N2O/O2 mix

start IV, proceed with IV induction

82
Q

why is use of N2O not indicated for induction of a pt with a full stomach?

A

N2O causes N/V

83
Q

modified RSI

A

use of positive pressure ventilation with low PIPs to prevent desat before intubation
