Peds Flashcards
mc cause of pneumonia in cystic fibrosis kid
Pseudomonas
Caput seccundaneum
conehead baby DOES cross suture lines
Cephalohematoma
does NOT cross suture lines subperiosteal hemorrhage ddx: depressed skull fx
Kawasaki’s: dx criteria
Fever >4 days +4/5 of these:
- b/l conjunctival inj
- mucus membr involvement
- distal extrem changes (peeling, edema) -
- cervical lymphadenopathy
- rash
Kawasaki’s tx:
IVIG, ASA
after receiving IVIG patients need to wait 3 months for this
Live vaccines
- MMR
- varicella (herpes)
- zoster (herpes)
- flu mist
- yellow fever
- (rotavirus?)
APGAR stands for?
- Appearance (color)
- Pulse (>100 = 2pt)
- Grimace (do they pull away from stimulation? cough with suction?)
- Activity (muscle tone?)
- Respirations
Max of 2pts each
Nevus sebaceous
- area of alopecia with orange/nodular skin
- need to remove it before adolesence bc it can become malignant
Galactosemia vs PKU
galactosemia you will see signs right away bc galactose can x-placenta
PKU - musty odor, athetosis
Galactosemia - at risk for Ecoli sepsis
Galactosemia
- see: MR, direct hyperbili, jaundice, cataracts, low glucose/seizures
- high risk of E.coli sepsis
- tx: lactose free diet
PKU
- see MR, vomiting, seizures, athetosis (writhing hand mvmt)
- signs develop over the first few months of life
- musty odor
Physiologic Jaundice
- bili = 10, i-bili 0.5
- baby eating and pooping well
- bc liver conjugation is not yet mature
Breast feeding vs Breast Milk jaundice
- Breast feeding = baby not getting enough feeding; signs of dehydration, not gaining weight
- Breast milk = bc of the glucuronidase in breast milk, this deconjugates bilirubin; no signs of dehydration
Pathologic Jaundice
1 day old, if you see bili greater than 12 or direct bili greater than 2 (do not need both to qualify)
- next best test = Coombs test
- (+) = antibodies on baby’s RBC is the problem
- Rh, ABO incompatibility
- (-) = twin/twin or baby/mom transfusion, spherocytosis, G6PD defic
Biliary atresia
ex: bili @12, d-bili @ 8, incr LFTs
- Why? bile ducts cannot drain
- will need surgery
