what is the schedule for well visits starting from birth
1 mo 2 mo 4 mo 6 mo 9 mo 12 mo 15 mo 18 mo 24 mo then annually
why shouldn’t babies drink water
because their kidneys aren’t mature enough to handle the extra fluid so the babies will become hyponatremic since they can’t excrete the water, and then they can have szs

steroids
complication of hsp
intussusception

ct
meds used to tx of perforated appendix
amp, gent, flagyl
clinical presentation of intussusception
currant jelly stools
lethargy
palpable tubular mass
paucity of gas on xr or evidence of obx
imaging most specific for intussusception
barium (or air) enema
is also therapeutic
most common location for intussusception
ileocolic
can also develop at meckel’s divertic
major complication of intussusception
there is impaired venous return so bowel edema develops –> ischemia, necrosis –> perforation
etiology of intussusception
ileum invaginates into colon at ileocecal valve
a previous viral infx –> hypertrophy of the peyer’s patches… this can develop into a lead point
hsp can be association with an ileal-ileal intussusception
tx of intussusception
must do fluid resusc first, if needed
hydrostatic reduction with air/barium
recurrence rate of intussusception
15%
at what age would a pt present with pyloric stenosis
1-3 mo
which medicaation can be associated with pyloric stenosis
erythromycin
best imaging for pyloric stenosis
u/s
will also see a string sign ugi study
tx of pyloric stenoSIS
MUST correct fluids and lytes first!
then pyloromyotomy
describe malrotation
small intestines rotate abnormally in utero, so there is an abnormal fixation posteriorly to the mesentary
it can twist on its vascular supply –> volvulus
clinical presentation of malrotation
bilious emesis
possibly abdominal distention/shock
+ guiac test = bowel ischemia, poor prognostic sign
tx of malrotation
surgery ASAP
tx for scd induced priapism
sedation
dz that scd can mimic if htere is abdominal pain
appendecitis
when is frontal bossing seen?
beta-thal or some other hemolytic process that requires rapid hematopoesis
tx for beta-thal
serial transfusion + chelation therapy (desferoxamine) b/c of fe overload
consequence of fe overload
hemochromatosis
complications of g6pd deficiency
rbcs are destroyed but there is increased amounts of hb liberated in the process –> hb-uria
findings in classic hemophilia
bleeding problems + hemarthrosis
battle’s sign
basilar skull fx that leads to bleeding/bruise behind the ear
mechanism behind bell’s palsy in neonates
forceps deliver… usually resovles

social milestones at 2 mo
recognizes parent
social milestones at 1 mo
fixes on face
developmental dysplasia of the hip
abnml relationship between head of femur and acetabulum –> instabilility and dislocation of hip joint
develops 2ndary to lack of contact of acetabulum and femur during intrauterine devevlopment
dx of developmental dysplasia of hip
u/s: see “false acetabulum” in lateral ileum
tx of developmental dysplasia of hip
pavick harness (keeps hip abducted and flexed), or body casting on older pts
complications of developmental dysplasia of hip
avn
degen arthritis of hip
metatarsus adductus
dorsiflexion and plantarflexion are UNRESTRICTED (diff from clubfoot); heels go out and toes go in
tx of metatarsus adductus
stretching or a brace
surgery not usualy needed
idiopathic talipes equinovarus (aka)
appearance
congenital clubfoot
medial rotation of tibia, fixed plantar flexion, inversion of foot, forefoot adduction
CANNOT DORSIFLEX (unlike metatarsus adductus)
tx of clubfoot
bracing
serial casting
legg-calve-perthes dz
avn of femoral head
ischemic bone is eventually resolved and re-ossification occurs
–> limp, pain referred to thigh/knee
what movt’s are restricted in legg-calve-perthes dz
abduction
flexion
internal rotation
tx of legg-calve-perthes dz
bracing
surgery
observation
complications of legg-calve-perthes dz
collapse of femoral head
SCFE
gradual or acute separation of proximal femoral growth plate
fem head slipps off of femoral neck and rotates inf-post postition
etiology of scfe
common during puberty, could be hormonal
presentation of scfe
limp, pain in hip and groin, pain referred to knee
dx of scfe
plain film frog-leg, lateral position
tx of scfe
goal is to prevent further misallignment
pin fixation is done acutely
chronic cases require osteotomy
osgood schlatter dz
inflammation, swelling and tenderness over tibial tuberosity 2ndary to tendonitis of distal insertion of infrapatellar tendon
when does osgood schlatter dz occur
During growth spurt, in teens
tx of osgood schlatter
conservative, supportive management
complication related to achondrodysplasia
small foramen magnum seen in homozygotes –> brainstem compression
what is achondrodysplasia
d/o of cartilage calcifications and remodeling
why do childre have an increased risk of fx
tendons and ligaments are stronger than bones so in kids injuries often lead to fx when they would only cause sprain in adult
types of fx
spiral (twisting forces on tibia during fall) epiphyseal fx (use salter classification) stress fx (hairline crack from repeated activity) torus fx (at metaphysis)
nursemaids elbow
subluxation of radial head
define upper airway
nose –> carina
sx of upper airway dz
inspiratory stridor
tachypnea
respiratory distress
choanal atresia
most proximal abnormality of airway
bony or membranous septum btwn 1 or both nasal passages and pharynx, preventing airflow through nose
life threatening if b/l (most young infants are obligate nose breathers)
can’t pass ng tube
complications of long-term intubation
subglottal stenosis
laryngeal or tracheomalacia
floppiness that closes off airway
how to confirm dx of laryngeal or tracheomalacia
bronchoscopy
ddx for wheezing and respiratory distress
asthma bronchiolitis foreign body aspiration gerd te fistula vascular sling
pathophysiology of sx in cf
cftr is abnormal –> altered cl channel
cl stays in cells and na/water enter the cell to maintain osmotic balance –> viscous secretions
