PEDS 2 Flashcards
EISENMENGER SYNDROME
pulmonary HTN
reversal of flow (L to R shunt becomes R to L)
cyanosis
Investigations for CHD
2D-echocardiography
RV (parasternal) heave
Fixed, widely split S2
Systolic ejection murmur at the pulmonic area
Ostium secundum -most common; often an isolated defect
Ostium primum - often associated with other cardiac defects and Down syndrome
ASD
holosystolic murmur, LLSB
High pitched, harsh
The smaller the defect, the louder the murmur
Usually not audible until age 4-10 days
↑Flow through the MV: diastolic rumble, apex (large defect)
VSD
Associated conditions with PDA
fetal alcohol syndrome: low palpebral fissure, thin lip,
VSD
congenital rubella
neonatal RDS
Respiratory distress
Bounding arterial pulses +3 always R/O
*Paradoxical splitting of S2 during expiration
Murmur continuous, rough, machine-like (‘to and fro’)
maximal at the 2nd L ICS
*Disappears with ↑pulmonary vascular resistance
PDA
Associated conditions with Coarctation of the Aorta
Turner syndrome
Bicuspid aortic valve
UE hypertension systolic BP in the arms are > 20 mmHg higher than the legs
Enlarged and pulsatile collateral vessels
ICS anteriorly, in the axilla, or posteriorly in the interscapular area
(femoral < brachial pulses)
bounding pulses in UE and carotids +3 above coarctation
Cardiac: harsh systolic murmuralong the left sternal border + systolic murmuralongL and R side of the chest with thrills
Coarctation of the Aorta
Extreme cyanosis in the first 24 hours of life without respiratory distress
Single S2
CXR: egg-on-a-string appearance
Transposition of the Great Vessels
Downward displacement of dysplastic tricuspid valve into a hypoplastic RV
Early or late cyanosis
Right heart failure
Mom used Lithium
S1 is widely split with loud tricuspid component
Holosystolic murmur of TR
Ebstein Anomaly
APGAR chart
pg 599 in FA
PPT SLIDE2
No vitamin K at birth
Exclusively breastfed
Classic VKDB
Maternal ingestion of drugs** that interfere with vitamin K metabolism
Early VKDB
Chronic diarrhea
Prolonged antibiotic therapy
Exclusively breastfed
Late VKDB
Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) risk factors
Born at < 35 weeks
formula feeding
NEC Clinical features
What do you see on X RAY?
*Abdominal distension emesis Blood in stools *Hypothermia, temperature instability Lethargy Apnea, dyspnea
CXR- Pneumatosis intestinalis
AIR IN THE BOWEL WALL/ ABDOMEN
Umbilical Hernia prognosis ?
Small umbilical hernias < 1.5 cm = Spontaneous closure
Large umbilical hernias - Spontaneous closure less likely
Surgery by age 5 if persistent
risk factors of Gastroschisis
young maternal age
prenatal use of illicit drugs (metamphetamines, cocaine)
prenatal use of cyclooxygenase inhibitors (aspirin, ibuprofen
associations with Gastroschisis
intestinal atresia (10-20%) intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR)
