Q

Why are SNS and baroreceptors blunted in the infant

A

Immature and this causes a blunted response to EPI and ephedrine as well as endogenous catacholamines

31
Q

the dominant Nervous system in newborns is PNS or SNS

A

PNS

32
Q

GFR normalizes at what age

A

1yr old

33
Q

Decreased GFR in children under one is because

A

Low SBP

increased renal vascular resistance

decreased glomerular capillary permeability

34
Q

Peds begin to concerntrate urine at age

A

2-3 yrs

35
Q

Ped liver function

A
36
Q

Hyperbilirubinemia

A

excessive breakdown of billirubin and impeded excreation

37
Q

Hyperbilirubinemia is most common in these infants

A

Preterm and breast fed

38
Q

what it kernicterus

A
39
Q

Gerd is seen in what % of newborns for the 1st week of life??

A

50 %

40
Q

GERD in the infant is due to

A

Decreased LES tone

41
Q

Meconium aspiration can cause

A

pneumonia

pneumothorax

PPHTN

42
Q

how do neonates increase their temp

A

nonshivering thermogenesis

Brown fat Metabolism

43
Q

4 reasons for neonates / newborns to regulate temp

A

Immature ANS

thin skin

reduced adipose tissue

increased BSA

44
Q

Heat loss can be by

A

radiation

conduction

convection

evaporation

45
Q

Where are the 4 areas of BROWN FAT, YA BROWN FAT??

A

between scapulas, axillae, mediastinum, surrounding kidneys

46
Q

Whats special about BROWN FAT

A

high concerntration of mitochondria

47
Q

Calculating rough weight

A

(2 x the age) +9 = kg

48
Q

why do neonates and newborns need more medication??

A

total body water content is 75% which causes a greater volume of distribution therefore less effect

49
Q

% things to keep in mind when dosing meds for a newborn

A

Decreased liver function

Decreased Plasma binding

Decreased GFR

Decreased enzymatic metabolism

immaturity of the BBB

50
Q

2 proteins that are decreased in the neonate

A

Albumin and

51
Q

Enzymatic metabolism is done 2 ways

A

Cytochrome P450

52
Q

Rectal routes of medication have 3 vascular pathways??

A
53
Q

Injection sites for meds

A

vastus lateralis (infants - small children)

Deltoid (older children)

54
Q

Is MAC higher or lower in infants then adults

A

higher and trends down as they reach adults

57
Q

Peds dose of propofol

A

2-3 mg /kg

58
Q

Peds dose of ketamine

A

1-2 mg/kg

59
Q

Propofol infusion should NEVER be continued into ICU because of

> 48 hr infusion

> 5 mg/kg/hr

62
Q

why will you see an increased response to volital agnets in newborns

A

immature ANS

63
Q

Volital agent induction recmmendation is

A

Sevo- least cardiac depressive, nonpungent, fast induction, fast emergence

If maintaince is longer than an hour switch to ISO after induction.
