When should phenobarbital be given to a neonate when evaluating for biliary atresia?
3-5 days prior to imaging
Why is phenobarbital given to a neonate when evaluating for biliary atresia?
to enhance the biliary excretion of the radiotracer and increase the specificity of the test
grade 4 interventricular hemorrhage –> MOA?
occlusion of the ependymal veins –> periventricular venous hemorrhagic infarction –> interventricular hemorrhage
grade 1-3 interventricular hemorrhage –> MOA?
germinal matrix hemorrhage –> extend into ventricle
Endotracheal tube –> ideal position?
- relative to clavicles
- distance from carina
- inferior border of clavicles
- 2cm above carina
PICC –> ideal position?
- UE
- LE
- UE –> SVC
- LE –> IVC within 1cm of diaphragm
How differentiate umbilical arterial catheter vs umbilical venous catheter?
- UAC –> initially course downward into internal iliac A
- UVC –> course immediately superiorly
Ideal position?
- umbilical arterial catheter
- umbilical venous catheter
- UAC –> below L2
- UVC –> IVC within 1 cm of diaphragm
Supine CXR –> PTX findings (2)
- unusually sharp heart border
- hyperlucent costophrenic angle (deep sulcus sign)
neonate –> respiratory distress –> causes (medical)? (4)
- transient tachypnea of the newborn
- meconium aspiration
- neonatal pneumonia
- respiratory distress synd (surfactant def)
neonate –> respiratory distress –> causes (surgical)? (4)
- congenital diaphragmatic hernia
- congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation
- congential lobar emphysema
- sequestration
transient tachypnea of the newborn –> pathophys?
delayed clearance of intrauterine pulmonary fluid
transient tachypnea of the newborn:
- when does it peak?
- by when does it resolve?
- peak at 24 hr
- recovery by 48-72 hr
transient tachypnea of the newborn –> findings during 1st day of life?
fluid overload:
- vascular congestion
- small pleural effusions
neonate –> CXR –> diffuse reticulonodular densities –> ddx?
What if there was pleural effusion?
- respiratory distress sydn
- neonatal pneumonia
If pleural effusion –> more likely pneumonia
neonate –> CXR –> hyperaeration, patchy asymmetric infiltrate –> ddx?
- meconium aspiration
- neonatal pneumonia
meconium aspiration –> CXR findings? why?
aspirated meconium obstructs bronchi:
- atelectasis –> patchy asymmetric airspace dz
- compensatory hyperinflation of remaining patent airways –> hyperinflated lungs
respiratory distress synd –> CXR findings?
- diffuse symm reticulogranular opacities
- prominent central air bronchograms
- generalized hypoventilation
intubation –> airway pressure too high –> barotrauma –> CXR findings?
- PTX
- pulmonary interstitial emphysema
pulmonary interstitial emphysema –> pathophys?
barotrauma –> alveoli rupture –> air accumulate w/in peribronchial & perivascular spaces
pulmonary interstitial emphysema –> CXR findings
- linear lucencies radiating from hilum
- cystic
patent ductus arteriosus –> pathophys
pulmonary resistance remains high –> ductus remains open w R to L shunt –> ventilatory therapy decreases pulm resistance –> switch to L to R shunt –> increased pulmn blood flow
patent ductus arteriosus –> CXR findings
- increased heart size
- increased pulm vascularity
bronchopulmonary dysplasia –> definition
continued oxygen needs & CXR abnormalities beyond 28days of life
