Pediatrics Review* Flashcards
___ closes functionally at birth when LA pressure is > than RA pressure.

- If we place a right radial a-line measuring ___
- If we place a left radial a-line measuring ___
Right innominate artery
PDA
-pre-ductal oxygen
-post-ductal oxygen
- Babies have a higher ___ hence their increased oxygen consumption
- Limited ___ stores
- ___ dominant
- metabolic demand
- catecholamine
- PSNS
Babies have ____ need really good pre-oxygenation, less safe apnea time.
decreased FRC (25, adult is 40)
- In newborn blood loss >___ may not be tolerated - fetal Hgb
- At ___ the baby will have a physiologic anemia due to fetal Hgb dropping off and adult Hgb increasing
- Hgb considered in context….neonate with Hgb of ___ concerning because majority is fetal Hgb = serious - meanwhile at ___ this Hgb is expected
> 10-15%
2-6 months
10
2 months (10-12)
- HBF ___ in first months of life.
- CYP450 system ___ functional at birth.
- Want to give drugs that don’t rely on hepatic metabolism ??
- Infants have minimal glycogen stores may need maintenance fluid with?
- decreased
- 50%
- atracurium, cisatracurium
- dextrose
- Infants have a high TBW content drugs that are water-soluble (?) will have a larger ___
- Minimal ___ - Less fat for redistribution of drugs = higher availability
Muscle relaxants
volume of distribution

General Rule:
- Most PO/IV meds prolonged elimination half time in ___ (decreased dosing intervals)
- Shortened elimination half time in ___
- Normal elimination half time as ?
- infants
- children (2-12 years)
- child approaches adulthood
___ closure after birth is functional, not anatomical.
- Ductus constricts and closes based on levels of ___, ___, ___
- So if the baby gets ___ and ___ this will pop open - this will cause a large % of blood flow to bypass the lungs
- PDA closes anatomically btw ___. ___ will have more delayed closure.
PDA
- O2, CO2, prostaglandins
- acidotic and hypoxic
- 2-6 weeks
- Premies
View of the pediatric airway is usually almost always better with a ?
straight blade
Fluid Choices:
- For children less than 2 years old use a ___ filled with ___ at a time
- If greater than 2 years old use ___ with only ___ up at a time
- buretrol filled with 25-100 mL
- mini gtt with only 500 mL bag
Pediatric Differences:
- Babies and children adjust CO and BP by ___. They have poor ___.
- Higher ___ demand.
- ___ thus have limited ability to handle fluid overload or increased SV.
- HR
- contractile strength
- metabolic
- Noncompliant LV
-In regards to respiratory peds patients known to have ~ small \_\_\_/highly \_\_\_ -Depress ventilation?? -Decreased \_\_\_ muscle fibers -Smaller number of \_\_\_
- small diameter/highly compliant airways
- hypoxia and hypercapnia
- Type 1
- alveoli
Babies have decreased ___ need really good pre-oxygenation due to less safe apnea time
