Q

The loss of heat is faster in neonates compared to adults because

A

their larger surface area-bodyweight ratio (they also have less SQ fat and therefor have less insulation for heat preservation).

31
Q

Neonates heat production is dependent on

A

metabolism of brown fat

32
Q

Refrance weight for neonates is 3 kg vs 70k in adults. what would be TV, VC, FRV and dead space differnces

VC 35 ml/kg (70ml/kg in adults)
FRC 30 ml/kg (35 ml/k adults)
Dead space is same 0.3xTV

33
Q

When adult breathing circuit is used for infants, TV should be … to compensate for the compliance of tubing

34
Q

Would you proceed to OR if EMLA cream applied to a broken skin unintentionally on neonates?

A

better to postpone and observe for methemoglobenemia (ELMA is eutectic miture of lidocaine & prilocaine, pro;pcaine increase risk of methemoglobenemia)

35
Q

Best option for induction in child with epiglottitis is

A

gental mask induction with sevoflurane + O2 100%

36
Q

Parental presence benefits

A

reducing separation anxiety but wont prevent pr decrease postoperative delirium

37
Q

fasting interval in children for clear liquid

38
Q

fasting interval in children for human milk

39
Q

fasting interval in children for non-human milk

A

6 hours same as light meal

40
Q

Fetal Hg can falsely elevate COHb levels upto … in first weeks of life

41
Q

RFs for postoperative apnea in premature infants are

who should be admitted and monitored (and for how long) after outpatient surgery.

A

The most conservative approach is to admit (for monitored 24 hour observation) all infants younger than 60 weeks post-conceptual age

42
Q

Why Pierre Robin is difficult airway

A

Glossoptosis

43
Q

Why Treacher Collins is difficult airway

A

Micrognathia

44
Q

Why Klippel-Feil is difficult airway

A

Cervical spine immobility

45
Q

Would you proceed to OR with 1 week old African american with hx of SCD in family?

A

Yes, fetal Hb provides protection from sickling

46
Q

when is a physiological decrease in Hb concentration in infants (physiological anemia)

A

at age of 3 months due to declining fetal Hb

47
Q

what needs to be managed before pyloric myotomy?

A

fluid & electrolyte imbalance. its not an acute emergency

48
Q

metabolic abnormalities seen with pyloric stenosis

A

hypoCl-, HypoK, HypoNa, metabolic alkalosis. (metabolic acidosis if untreated)

49
Q

commonest type of Tracheoesophageal fistula is

A

Type C (fistula between the lower esophagus and the trachea (one form of TEF) with a blind esophagus upper pouch)

50
Q

ideal ET position in TE fistula?

A

above carina but belo the fistula. breath sounds should be bilateral, no sounds over stomach, or no leakage of gas through gastrostomy tube

51
Q

Anomalies associated with TE fistula

A

Vertebral, cardiac, renal, radial anomalies

52
Q

MoA of agents used for pulm Htn:

PGE2
NO

A

PGE2 -> cyclic AMP

NO -> cyclic GMP

53
Q

Mgmt of Pulm Htn in CHD

A
  • Increase FiO2
  • Avoid acidosis
  • moderate hyperventilation
  • moderate hypocapnia
  • Avoid hypothermia
  • Inhaled NO
  • PGE2
54
Q

Anesthesia Concern for Congenital diaphragmatic hernia

A
  • Pulm hypoplasia
  • Pulm Htn
  • Risk for PTX due to high airway pressures
  • Bag & mask ventilation (overdistension of stomach & herniation across the midline)
55
Q

PROVe
pulm stenosis
RVH
Overriding aorta
VSD
59
Q

preferred induction agent in ToF tetspells

Ketamine

tetspells occur when PVR increases or SVR decreases (ketamine maintains or increases SVR)

60
Q

TTx of Tetspells in ToF

A
  • 100% O2
  • BB
  • IVF
  • Phenylephrine to increase SVR
61
Q

Anesthetics goals in ToF reair

A
  • Maintain intravascular volume
  • Higher FiO2
  • Maintain SVR (use Neo)
  • Ketamine induction (maintain SVR)
  • Propranpolol for infundibular spasm
62
Q

Continues machinery murmur best heard at … and its specific for …

A

Left clavicle

PDA

63
Q

Why neonates with PDA would have wide puls pressure

A

reduced diastolic pressure

64
Q

PGE1 … PDA patency

A

keeps it open (indomethacin closes it)

65
Q

Hpoplastic left heart syndrome occurs when parts of left heart is not completely develop, thoses parts are

A

MV
L ventricular AV
and aorta

blood pumped to body through RV which has to pass through PDA to reach systemic circulation

66
Q

Anamoly that both pulm & systemic venis returns to RA is

A

Total Anamolous pulmonary return (TAPVR)

ASD?VSD needed to pass from RA to left

67
Q

Single vessel recives blood from both R & L ventricle and then devised into aorta & pulm artery is

A

Truncus Areriosus

68
Q

do they need PDA in Truncus Areriosus for life?

A

No because mixing has already occurred

69
Q

one CHD in which PDA not essential for life

A

Truncus Areriosus

70
Q

CHD in which ODA essential for life

A 
Pulm stenosis
Aortic stenosis
ToF
Transposition of great vessels
TAPVR
Hypoplastic L heart syndrom
71
Q

whats the name & indications of procedure that diverts venous blood from RA to pulmonary circulation bypassing RV

A

Fontan procedure

  • Hypoplastic L heart syndrome
  • Tricspid atresia with intact ventricular septum
72
Q

Hypothermia or hyperthermia that increases Pulm vasoconstriction and increases R->L shunts

A

Hypothermia

73
Q

A disorder of lung parenchyma that results into hyperinflation of lung & respiratory distress from newborns to 6 months

A

Congintal lobar emphysema

  • Avoid high peal airway pressure with ventilation
  • Avoid NO
  • Assisted ventilation is required
74
Q

NMB overall dose should be reduced in neonates due to

A

their large volume distirbution, NMJ and liver is immature
