Pediatrics 7,9,10 Flashcards
What should be suspected in a baby with DiGeroge syndrome
- low serum calcium levels
- get echocardiography
CATCH for DiGeorge
- Conotruncal cardiac defects
- Abnormal facies
- Thymic aplasia
- Celft palate
- Hypocalcemia
In patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, maneuvers that increase preload or afterload
- squatting
- leg raise
- hand grip
Maneuvers that decrease LV cavity by decreasing preload
- Valsalva
- abrupt standing
- amyl nitrite administration
hypertophic cardiomyopathy is common in who and how is it inherited
African American
Autosomal Dominant
Appears in age less than 1 with respiratory ( stridor, wheezing, coughing) and/or esophageal (dysphagia, vomiting, difficulty feeding) symptoms. Stridor is biphasic. Improves with neck extension
vascular ring
Laryngomalacia
collapse of the supraglottic structures during inspiration and presents with chronic inspiration stridor that improves with prone positioning
Pansystolic murmur that is loudest at the left lower sternal border and a diastolic rumble at the apex due to increased flow across the mitral valve
large ventricular septal defect
a 2 hour child with single loud second heart sound has what wrong with them
- single loud second heart sound
most common congenital cyanotic heart disease in the neonatal period
D-transposition of the great vessels
x-ray finding for D-transposition of the great vessles
“egg on a string” ( narrow mediastinum)
Beck’s triad
- distant heart sounds
- distended jugular veins
- hypotension
Trisomy 18 baby with murmur at left lower sternal bordner
VSD
Most common heart defect in down syndrome
complete atrioventricular septal defect
what is an innocent cardiac murmur
- intesnity is grade I or II
- decreases with standing
what maneuvers reduce the intensity of innocent murmurs
decrease venous blood return ( standing, Valsalva)
patients with prolonged QT intervals are at risk for
- syncope
- ventricular arrhythmias
- sudden cardiac death
Those with congenital QT prolongation should avoid
- electrolyte derangements
- medications that block potassium channels
how do you prevent cardiac arrest in prolonged QT syndrome
beta blockers with pacemaker
greater than 5 day fever, bilateral nonexudate conjunctivitis, mucositis, cervical lymphadenopathy, rash and extremity changes
kawasaki
treatment for kawasaki
aspirin and intravenous immunoglobulin
Most serious potential sequelae of Kawasaki
coronary artery aneurysms
hear a harsh III/VI holosystolic murmur, next step
- echocardiography, not reassurance because it is harsh III/VI
can viral myocarditis cause liver problems
yes, hepatomegaly
Difficulty swallowing, feeding refusal and vomiting should raise concern for
foreign body ingestion
what ethnicity has decreased UGT activity
asians
child with impaired adaption to darkness, photophobia, dry scaly skin, xerosis conjunctive, sources cornea keratomalacia, bitot spots and folllicular hyperkeratosis of shoulders, buttocks, and extensor surfaces
vitamin A deficiency
white baby with growth failure and recurrent sinopulmonary infections typically raise concern for
cystic fibrosis
pancreatic insufficiency in baby can lead to
- steatorrheahea
- failure to thrive
- vitamin deficiencies
Common associations with celiac disease
- type 1 diabetes
- dermatitis herpetrifromis
how can celiac disease present
- weight loss
- iron deficiency anemia
the only absolute infant contraindication to breastfeeding is
galactosemia
Classic signs of older children with biliary cyst
abdominal pain, jaundice and may have pancreatitis
what should be suspected in all children with recurrent intussusception
Meckel’s diverticulum
Triple bubble sign on x-ray and gasless colon
Jejunal atresia
risk factors for jejunal atresia
- exposure to cocaine and other vasoconstrictive drugs
what is the workup if a baby has bilious emesis
- abdominal x-ray then contrast enema
electrolyte values after prolonged vomiting
- hypochloremic
- hypokalemic
- metabolic alkalosis
